Earth Day Pics

We spent a lot of time outdoors. We had a perfect Spring day, with temps in the 70’s. It was cool enough, but warm too. I love Spring weather!

I took along my camera and got some photos of the kiddos and pup too.

Thade eventually ventured outside with us. I think he was enjoying the quiet of the great indoors.

Everything is finally starting to turn Green!

The plants are making a return too.

The lilies made it through the crazy cold Winter.

The Lilac bush is in full bloom too. The scent is amazing!

Miss Mia came by to say hi. She was busy playing fetch with the kids.

It was a lovely day to be outside! I hope we have many more Spring days just like this one.

Happy Earth Day

Happy Earth Day! And if you are a certain super cute four year old, then you’ll say “Happy Earf Day!”

The weather is lovely today. I think it will be a nice day to tend to our little corner of earth. The boys are planning to pick-up the front yard after school is out. I might sneak out to the backyard and work on the flower beds.

Our little sprouts are growing. I can’t wait for Summertime veggies, and flowers too.

Have a beautiful Earth Day!

Easter Eve and Easter Sunday

This Easter weekend wasn’t our usual Easter weekend. Agnes and I were still sick with colds, and well I didn’t feel like hosting this holiday… We stayed home, kept the holiday low-key, and hung out with the kiddos.

Saturday morning, I got up and got going. I still wasn’t feeling quite right, but I couldn’t put off a trip to the store any longer. I picked up lots of extra eggs to decorate with the kiddos.

All of the kids love to dye and decorate Easter eggs.

Easter morning arrived extra early! Agnes was up with yucky cold symptoms until midnight, and Dylan decided that he needed to wake up at 2:00 a.m.

The kids were so excited.

We enjoyed candy for breakfast, and a much needed afternoon nap too. I made a big batch of Chicken and Noodles (from scratch), and some yummy desserts too.

It was a fantastic, and very relaxing holiday.

I’ve Been Away

Well I’ve been away for a bit, and not in a good way. I had a really bad migraine last week, and then I caught a really bad cold. I think I slept for an entire day, and I’m still not feeling too well…

On a happier note… Happy Easter! The kids woke up crazy early ( Agnes was up past midnight, and Dylan was up at 2:00 a.m.). They found all of their eggs, and they are currently making their way through the Easter candies too.

I think we’ll take it easy today. I’m hoping to sneak in a nap (or two), and maybe get a few things done around the house.

Hope you are having a beautiful Easter morning!

And Another Project Begins

Sunday night I was watching a Game of Thrones with my hubby, and crocheting on Agnes’ granny-row blanket.

I was paying close attention to the episode, and crocheting along on auto-pilot. I then crocheted myself right out of white yarn… Ugh!

I still wanted to work on a project, but I really hadn’t planned on making a run to the store anytime too soon. So I started another crochet project. This one is going to be a messy, colorful, granny-square blanket.

The granny-squares will be in all different sizes too. I think this will use up a pretty good amount of my bits and pieces of yarn stash too.

I like the looks of this little blanket so far.
