Happy Easter Everybunny!!

Ha, what a cheesey phrase.  :-D
Today we went to church and spent the day with family.  It was a lovely Easter. Here are a few pictures.  I sewed their dresses.  I love having girls.  God really knew what he was doing when he gave me two of them.  I pray for really good son-in-laws....we might need some muscle around here when we are old.  :-D

 We tried an egg technique that I saw on Pinterest.  It was a flop.  However, I know a couple of things I may have done wrong.  So perhaps I'll give it a go next year.  The eggs were ugly but still tasty.  Can't wait for breakfast in the morning!





I am sad that I did not get a picture of all 3 girls together looking at the camera.
What an opportunity missed.  :-(

A few years ago I was disgusted with the organization of my wrapping paper so I designed myself a rolling cart and had Dan build it for me for Christmas.  It holds 18-24 rolls.  Ok, so it's time to admit I do have SOME of the hoarding tendencies that run in my family.  I have this problem with WRAPPING PAPER and I can't seem to quit buying it.  EVERY Christmas I can't wait to see the new designs Hobby Lobby will be carrying.  They always have paper in their Christmas Collection that will do for birthdays and weddings too.  Then there's some that I find at yard sales for a quarter.  I turn away 90% of it, but every once in a while I'll find something I just "have" to have.  Last year I found some REVERSIBLE.  WHAT?  Didn't even know you could buy that.  It's frogs on one side and fish on the other.  Yeh, so I have a problem. 

This Friday I had this great idea to organize the rest of it in a space that was otherwise useless:  IN THE RAFTERS.  So now when I go in I have my rolling cart, and on the other side is the rest of the collection, all nice and tidy for me to see all at once.  I told Dan I had a project and I wanted it completed by weekend's end.  He delivered!!   
If you like the idea, go ahead and borrow it.  I didn't file a patent this time.  :-D

I haven't forgotten the address of the blog.  I've been scootin.
Two weeks ago it was Disney.  The whole week!  It was fun.  We came home with both kids and all our stuff (nothing lost) and a good bit of our money so I call it a success.  I may or may not post pictures.  First of all there are about 500.  Second of all, by the time I get around to it there will probably be more exciting things in our life.  I don't know though, perhaps I won't be able to resist.  After Disney I decided to take a trip to the beach.  Yes, Alabama, Florida, Alabama, Florida. We took Pawpaw and Deb who had not seen the condo, so that was fun.  I look forward to getting back to camping at the beach though.  That's my favorite.  And one way or another, I WILL get to the beach on my motorcycle.  I WILL.  That is all.
