Easter Weekend in a Nutshell (or Eggshell)

Friday:
  • Spent a fair portion of the day doing laundry and unpacking my sewing room (YEAH!)
  • My parents came into town- so good to see them! Pizza and frozen custard. Brian's parents join in the fun.
(The boyz checkin' out something on the computer.)

Saturday:

  • Mom, the kids and I make a run to Joann Fabrics. Always fun!
  • My mom (bless her!!!!) helped me finish unpacking/organize my sewing room and organize the kids play room. (love you, mom!)
  • Spend time getting to know neighbors at a bonfire/ cookout.

Sunday:

  • Wake up to little ones crawling in bed with us.
  • Lydia has a bark-y cough/runny nose. No church- just in case.
  • I had bananas to use up so I made Jumbo Caramel Banana Muffins. SO yummy!
  • Make a simple dinner of Brown Sugar Glazed Ham, Fresh Green Beans, Mashed Potatos and enjoy time with Brian's parents.
  • Easter Egg Hunt (thanks to Brian for getting everything together!)



  • Tried out this new recipe for chocolate chip cookies to celebrate a co-worker's birthday. Seventy-two in all! I haven't made cookies in ages so this was rather fun for me. And they were a big hit. A very good recipe!
  • Listen to Mark Driscoll's Easter service online while the cookies bake.

  • Four loads of laundry
  • Read 12 books to the kids. (not in one sitting!)
  • Take care of one little munchkin whose bark-y cough turned into a nasty fever. Poor girl!
  • Watch a little TV with the love of my life.
A busy, but satisfying weekend!

P.S. I found out the pretty little flower below is a Dutch Windflower not an Anemone. You never know what you'll learn at the local grocer!
