To Dye is to Die.

We started coloring Easter eggs today. Jim was busy measuring and pouring and stirring, while I was putting dinner in the oven. All of a sudden Saree said "I don't want it!" We looked over and she had taken a drink of the vinegar that we had in one of the cups waiting for the dye and the water. She didn't cry, but she made sure we knew she thought it was pretty nasty. Jaycie, our little drama queen, wasn't getting her way this morning and threw herself on the floor for a good cry, knocking her head on the baby gate and giving herself a nice little bump on the forehead. (Oh the joys, and she's only four!!)

Anyway, that was the most exciting thing this week. Jim had a campout with the scouts last night and then a 7 mile hike this morning. Waking up to snow they aborted the hike and came home. I woke up with an aweful cold on Tuesday and have been trying to get rid of it since. I think it is winning.

Trapped in Tucumcari

Well, we got out of the Cortez in good time and stopped for the night in Tucumcari, New Mexico. Talk about your one horse towns. There is NOTHING to do there. We got in at about midnight and woke up to ALOT of snow. To compound the problem of closed road (all roads leading out of town) - our car heater stopped working all together. Luckily it was a cheap and easy fix, we just had to add more anti-freeze.

We spent the day in a hotel room, at least it was bigger than the car, but it wrecked our plans for getting to San Antonio on Friday night so that we could hang out with Shannon & Nathan all weekend. We ended up not getting there until late Saturday.

More adventures on our trip to San Antonio to come.
