Easter

Aha! It pops open?!...And there's more?!
My smart boy :)

Easter

Maxine on the other hand...is too small to get her mouth or paws around them. She spent her time chasing the slippery plastic eggs across our hardwood floors but she was happy just the same :)

Easter

Once Chipper got the hang of it,he slowly but surely opened them all and shared treats with his sister!

Easter

"Ohhhh  crap." is all I heard Vern say from the back door...
 Chipper and his Pug cousin Norm were playing in the backyard and guess who found the mud? "I didn't do it" he says with those innocent eyes HA! Guess who also got a bath two days in a row? Boys will be boys....

Easter

We spent the day with my sister and her family.
It was a much needed day of good food and chit chat.
Too much candy and too little sunshine.
Here we are,finally all nice and clean (again) and ready for bed.
Happy Easter ;)

Good Things

1 more day of work,

3 WHOLE days off with Vern.

Friday and Saturday are supposed to be sunny and warm.

The new deck is almost halfway done.

We are very excited to work in the yard and soak up the sun!

I love Easter,

but I have yet to establish any kind of Easter traditions.

So THIS year..

I am making Easter baskets for our 3 kids.

Trevor,Chipper and Maxine.

I am considering a doggy "egg hunt" since it's Maxi's first Easter.

Then I want to make a small but traditional Easter dinner at home.

Surely I  have earned a "Holiday Dinner Free Pass" with my in laws by now

and most of my own family is 400 miles away.

I have worked hard to make this house feel like my home,

so dammit..

I'm doing this Easter MY way.

Small.

Pretty.

Relaxed.

Delicious.

Simple.

Home.
