Hop on Over!


Thanks for hopping by this morning! I got the rest of my Easter decor out this past weekend and thought I'd show it all to you today:) This little wooden table was a GW find from back in the winter; I think it was $8.00- not too bad, tables like this go for around $20-25 around here by wood-workers at local craft shows/flea markets. It also holds one of many collections of kids books and a basket of hats and gloves! The boys are really good about putting their stuff in their too:) The cute wooden bunny on this table came from GW too.


This little Easter tree is one of my faves; it was my grandma's ♥


The next set of photos are the shelves of our entertainment center that I loaded up with Easter knick-knacks...



Here is my Shutterpane Window mirror I always talk about. Click on to enlarge to see the bunny bride and groom that is on the lower shelf of this mirror.


Here is the old record player that I had to have when we cleaned out and sold my grandma's house. She always decorated the top of it for holidays; I follow on with the tradition in my home:) I love this Easter basket which I also found at GW:)





Here is my Wall Shelf in the living room with more Easter cuties on it and some of the tea cups that I collect too.




The tiger lilies outside have grown probably 3 more inches since last week...


And the only set of daffodils have fully opened up too! Spring is here!! This Fall I want to try to plant more bulbs for next Spring; in hopes that the EVIL squirrels don't eat them before they are able to bloom!


Well, I was very irritated by my future hubby who called me LAZY yesterday because I didn't take the trash out right away or have the dishes (the few of them) washed the night before!! That really TICKS ME OFF! I had the kids outside for 2 hours the night before, playing with them and NOT just sitting on my butt!
So, I put off doing those things till the next day! Ugh, MEN!


This week is going to be CRAZY BUSY for me! Here are some of the things I have scheduled:

Today: not too much, just NOT BEING LAZY! I am also have a Wildtree food tasting party tonite at the house.

Tomorrow: Classes, working on a paper thats due, making site contacts for work

Wednesday: Meeting with the lady who is custom-making our wedding invites.

Thursday: Classes, playing catch up on homework, making more site contacts to get these places schedule so I can go and test the kids.

Friday: Traveling over and hour to spend a whole day testing at a child care ministry in Amish country; did I add that on my lunch break, I might hit up some FUN amish stores!! (Thats my reward for being SO good at BEING LAZY! Hear the sarcasm in my writing?)

Saturday: We have to go to a Young Author's Conference that Gavin was invited to; he wrote and illustrated his own little book about Rockets to show off!! Then after that I have a bridal shower to attend for a friend.

Sunday: I am having a CROP; so maybe this will be a nice way to unwind after this week!

Soooo... I think I will put off the Easter Egg Blog Hunt for ONE more week! I will announce the details next week:)

Have a nice day gals!

Cute Easter decorations! We were having the same issue last night! I don't know if I mentioned this but I started getting sick in Thursday, felt awful on Friday, stayed in bed on Saturday, and then finally felt a bit better yesterday. Well he was all complaining about how many dishes there were, how the place was a mess, how he had to make dinner, and clean. I was like um yes that's what happens when I get sick in Thursday til today and you don't do anything until Sunday night. Honestly!

I so love all your Easter decorations and I love the fact that you're following your grandma's tradition of decorating the top of her old record player:-) Now that I'm back from my trip I need to take out all my Easter stuff...will take pictures when I do!

You sure do have a very busy week ahead of you! Don't you pay no mind to what your future hubby said, all men tend to mouth off like that! lol They can't seem to stand seeing their wives sitting down for 5 minutes...sheesh!

Loved seeing all the goodies that Gage received in that Kiddie Swap, so precious to see some of his reactions:-)

Speaking of swaps, I sent out your mom's Easter Swap parcel last Tuesday so she should be getting it some time this week! It was so much fun putting it together for her:-) xoxo
