Easter Eggs and Finishing Touches . . .

Megan and Gracie (her bestie) colored eggs the other day.   There are sooooo many different coloring techniques and kits to choose from now.  I personally like the good old fashioned PAAS egg dying kit which, by the way, is great for dying ribbon too.  : )  We opted instead for a glitter egg kit and another one with rub-on transfers which is where all of the silly faces that you see are from.  We also opted out of the glitter.  Too much of a mess!! 

Those transfers can be a bit of a pain to clean up as well but they are certainly a lot easier to clean up than glitter!!

 A few Easter touches that I added this week . . .

Salt and pepper shakers.

My Easter mantle.

My mother in law made this for me in ceramics years ago.  It used to have candy eyes but they fell off.  It looks so real that you almost want to take a bite.  : )

Guess who finally got a haircut??  And he even got an Easter bandana too.  : )

Hanging next to the front door.

This little guy has lost part of his beak and one of his wings and his eyes look a little cock-eyed.  He's still adorable though.  I call him my "special" chicken.  : )

Happy Easter if you celebrate!!  A few friends and some family will be coming here tomorrow.  I'll be making a roast pork and a roast beef.  Also, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, red mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, gravy and applesauce.  Now my mouth is watering.

Busy Spring Days and Lazy Spring Nights . . .

The garden has been dug and the seeds have been started.  Son number one and his beautiful girlfriend came up with this seed chart which I thought was a great idea.  I just hope there's enough room in the garden for all of these different plants!!  : )

We've discovered just how small Megan's bike AND her skirts are this year.  We haven't gone warm weather clothes shopping yet but she did get a pretty new bike after I took this photo.  Thank you Mimi and Grandpop in Florida!!!  XOXOXOXOXO

This boy is busy being lazy.  : )

Spending time with family.

My beautiful sister in law Michele, my middle son Trevor, handsome nephews Andre and Jason and Megan. 

Finnegan is busy being lazy too.  He's been hanging out on the boat since we moved it to our driveway from my sister's house. 

Stretching before he comes to pose for me. 

I just love this baby!!

A lazy spring night spent under the tent.  It was the first night that it was warm enough to be outside without a jacket. 

We were able to view the beautiful "pink" moon.  It wasn't pink but beautiful nonetheless.

That bright dot to the right of the tree is Pluto.  Such a beautiful sight!!

Nephew Jason thru the dining room window.  He was being lit up by his tablet and I thought it would make a cool photo.  : )

Even though my daughter looks like a zombie in this photo, I love it.  Jakhai's smile is priceless!!!

I'll be grocery shopping later today for Easter Sunday.  Tomorrow we have an Easter egg hunt in town at 10 am that I'll be taking Megan to.  Jakhai has decided to go home before Easter this year so I'll be driving into Manhattan tomorrow as well.  It's supposed to be a nice day so I don't mind the trip.  Jim is working all weekend which stinks, but we do what we have to do and count our blessings while doing it.  : )


Happy Friday!! ~ Wendy xo
