Texas was dealt record low temperatures over the Easter weekend, dipping to freezing in the evenings and 40s during the day. Of course, it is only on the two weekend days and weather.com says it'll be back up to the high 80s on Tuesday. I had just packed away the electric blankets too.
We went to see "Meet the Robinsons" with the kids on Saturday. It seems like Disney has taken the attention span issue a step further--there was not one moment in that movie where you could focus and think about it--it was either speedy words, or speedy images, or simply speedy concepts. I have read about the impact of Sesame Street-like format on kids from my generation; educators claimed that as children began watching Sesame Street, their ability to focus for an extended period of time on a task was significantly worse than the previous generation due to the format of the quick mini-episodes within each show. I don't know if I agree, but "Meet the Robinsons" was definitely on another level.
Later that evening the kids dyed eggs, which we used as a temporary centerpiece at Easter dinner the next day. Nana and Pops came over for dinner and we had a great time. I do have a bit of a headache from the 2 glasses of red wine, though.
