Our Easter Weekend 4/25/11

G-Ma sure knows how to spoil us. Wonderful feasting, tasty treats, unexpected gifts, priceless time with family, it all added up to a blessed weekend.

I loved having time to share with DH on Friday, since he was given the day off. We had planned on running errands, but we really wanted to spend time with the boys, so we all went out for lunch at Cocina Real.

Saturday ended up being our get ready for Easter day, after a walk first up to our library and post office. I made the cranberry sauce and Texas rolls and we gave the boys their Easter baskets a little early. We wanted them to be able to enjoy their gift while we were home, since Sunday was road trip day.

We hid DS12's basket in the last place he expected it to be. He challenged us to hide it in a truly difficult place. It was in the oven, the last place he checked before almost deciding to give up.

We never got around to hiding eggs. We're going to do this today and look for them when DH gets home from work.

Sunday was road trip day to K-town. G-Ma prepared a full turkey dinner spread and everything was delicious. After cousins left, we played Super Mario Yahtzee and watched G-Ma's Chiller channel. I really wish our cable provider offered this channel.

I didn't snap any photos because there was a mix up at Kmart. I told the clerk I wanted a SD media card. They were locked up and he had to pull them from the shelf. I paid for the card but honestly didn't see him throw it into the bag along with our other purchases. When I got home, I discovered he had grabbed a media stick.

DS15 brought along our video recorder and I know he did capture some video. I should just designate him to be official photographer as well.

I have much to do this week. I need to finish up workshop presentations for our upcoming homeschooling conference, and I want to finish up the garden beds. I want to do more spring cleaning too. May is going to be very busy for us and we have only one more week here in April to get ready.
