"That was a MEAN truck"
This past weekend, we had quite an eventful weekend. Megan's Nana and Papa came to visit, and brought her great grandmother Lele along for the weekend. Papa and Chris had a project to (finally) hang our television on the wall above the fireplace. We have had it over a year, and had decided to go with a wall mount to free up space to create a bar and give us more kitchen space.
This was already a large project, since it involved running electrical wire, adding outlets, moving the cable, and putting the antennae in the attic. Megan was a little confused when she could hear her daddy in the attic (or his voice coming from the fireplace). She was adorable and shouted "hi Daddy" at least twice into the fireplace. I don't think she really understood where he was, but the fireplace DID answer her.
Then, on Saturday afternoon the chaos took a turn for the worse when Megan and Nana and I went to the store. We were happily sitting at a stoplight when a '95 GMC truck rather plowed into the back of us (driving the nice little PRIUS) and then launched us like a pool ball into the car in front of us.
Luckily, we were all ok -- just a little bruised and shook up. Megan was mostly just scared and upset from the suddenness of it all, and cried.
When I got out and checked on her, she calmed down, turned around in her carseat and looked out the back window, and said "That is a MEAN truck..." It was so cute it was comic.
When the police and fireman arrived to make sure we were all ok, she just kept excitedly saying "fire truck! fire truck!!" The firemen invited her down to the station, and told her that was a better way to get to see a fire truck than this!
I must say that the PRIUS impressed me. The impact virtually caved in the whole front of the truck, but the PRIUS escaped with relatively minor damage. A broken tail light, and dented fender and rear trunk was really the brunt of the damage. A little work has to be done to the front from the secondary impact, but all in all the Prius gets an A+ for this outing...
Of course, Daddy and Papa had to stop their project and come check on all of us, so the television project stretched into the late evening. BUT there is now a working TV hung on the wall.

Another Garden Day (with Dad)
Daddy took Megan for a special outing to the botanical gardens Japenese Gardens. She had a blast. One of her favorite activities here is also feeding the huge Koi fish! It is a great view all around
St. Patrick's Day -- the Butterflies in the Garden
On St. Patrick's Day, Megan's grandma and Aunt Ruth were visiting, and we all got to go to the Butterflies in the Garden exhibit at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. Megan had such fun and talked and talked about the butterflies. She really liked them, but got a bit freaked out when one actually tried to land on her head!
Here, Megan is reading the brochure to identify the various butterflies! She is just so bright! Ummm, so the sheet might be upside down.....
At the end, Grandma got her her very own butterfly umbrella
All the humidity in the conservatory brought out the curl in her wavy hair!

Mama has wavy hair too!
Easter Eggs
Megan had a calm Easter this year. She was so excited on Saturday to get to dye her very own eggs. I have to give Daddy Kudos as he actually set it all up and let Megan put the eggs in herself and get them out herself. I could see food coloring everywhere, but in all they did pretty well and Megan had a blast.
She was sooo excited to find chocolate in her Easter Basket on Sunday morning. So rarely does she get a container of candy, especially first thing!
It was chilly in the afternoon, but we did work in some egg hunting after her nap!

Cute and Accessorized
It is a little funny to me how I have such a girly girl. She loves ribbons and bows (although she isn't so fond of keeping them in her hair!) Hats, necklaces, purses, and all.
Here are a few shots from last month where Megan got herself ready
