April Midnight Madness

was super good!
we made this numbers quilt by renee plains
it's from her schoolhouse book

and everything was schoolhouse related
i found colored pencil packs at michaels and
used old postcards that i had in my paper stash

 

 

abc's & 123's were even better as gingerbread cookies

 

some old fasion treats...

a banner made from an old dictionary page
adorned a wonderful fresh strawberry cake that my friend mardy made.
you can find the recipe on cheri's blog

 

 

and for dinner we had a crock pot enchilada casserole that was yummy.

Easter Morn...

began at o' dark hundred as far as i was concerned
but it was good to get an early start with church starting at 9:30.

i wasn't myself this year and the easter bunny was a bit frustrated with my lack of preparation
but the baskets were filled and the eggs were hid.
(although the {big} kids weren't very happy that there wasn't money in more of the eggs.)

with the easter egg hunt done and candy filled cheeks we headed off to church.

these are a few of my favorite pictures from the morning...

and some of one of my most favorite kids!
he and his many faces...

after church we headed next door to my inlaws and had a lovely lunch.
we had a wonderful Easter weekend.
it was fantastic to have chelsie home but it was way to short of a trip.

Easter at Grandma's

and poppy's...
was all about the easter egg hunts


and the playground

and keeping this one

 

and this one...


out of trouble!
actually...it was gavin who got into trouble for cheating at our tonk game.
grandma has officially declared that she will no longer play with him.
