I meant to get here yesterday to post on our Easter weekend, but spent my day cleaning house and putting my feet up while appliqueing flowers. Well, I finally made it. Better late than never! Our Easter weekend was beautiful. It started Friday when the grandbabies came for an overnight. We spent the gorgeous day outside.....well, some of us..JPG)
Someone had to stay inside and try to catch bugs through a screen!

The rest of us had fun playing in the great outdoors. Sidewalk chalk is always a favorite.

Remember when you still had the freedom to do this.......JPG)
.....for absolutely no apparent reason???? Ahhh, to be young again!
Speaking of young, Emmie loved the backyard!.JPG)
She spotted Paw Paw's lawn mower which just got cleaned up and ready for another year. She thought it looked very interesting..JPG)
She looked at it and then looked up at me and said "Owie". I told her, "Yes, that part is an owie." She moved on to the front....smart kid..JPG)
It will be a few years!
Frizbee fun!!!!!!.JPG)

We had our "Easter Morning" on Saturday, as the kids had to go back to mom on Saturday night. The kids chose to fill plastic eggs with candy instead of coloring eggs. It was the first Easter in 28 years I did not color eggs. Is it terrible that I did not miss it????.JPG)

Saturday morning's hunt was such fun. Emerson loved it!!.JPG)

Zach hit the jackpot!.JPG)
It was a great weekend. We celebrated Easter Day with my family. Mom, Dad, my sister and her family, my Aunt and her family, and all 4 of my children. We cooked steak, burgers, brats, chicken, and hot dogs on the grill. Potato salad, baked beans, mac and cheese, fruit, veggies, chips & dip, and carrot cake, brownies, and pineapple pudding cake were all enjoyed! I am still full! Sad part is, I did not take ONE picture of that day. I kicked myself later. I was so busy and enjoyed myself so much that I forgot completely.
Our Easter weekend was so beautiful, weather-wise, but the last couple of days have been stormy. Night before last, we were hit with 70 mph winds with gusts up to 90 mph and quarter size hail. The rain was massive and it was a bit tense for a while. It past quickly, but then we had another 2 rounds, not as severe as the first, but certainly warning level. Today it looks stormy again. That is ok....April showers bring May flowers, right?
Stormy days are great for sewing. I am hoping to be able to get some more flowers on the UGRR sampler. Only 8 more to go and then on to the leaves. Sassy has kept me company. It seems that she is drawn to any facet of quilting....even the hard box of threads become a comfort to her!!!
Thanks for visiting! Praying your Easter weekend was as blessed as mine!
Blessings, Bren
