Yes, folks, spring has sprung - on the calendar, at least - soitenly NOT in the air ... and there are some treats that we've been enjoying here .... I'll be taking you back a week, seeing that this week got away from me, and I realized I never did make it back for some more photos postings!
last Sunday was Easter - a lovely holiday as far as I am concerned (mostly because traditionally it brings the ease of the new season, spring fever bites me, and the 'holiday'ness of the day is far, FAR less stressful for this family!) ... it also typically entails decorating the house with some really pretty, and very delicate european beauties from my dear friend, Fransie! (photos, too!) *smooches again* for these last year F!
a busy Easter morning egg hunt (yep, did it) and always involves some decorating of the eggs (yep, check the little guys out! - photo proof it occured! they are hidden in the basket above, and also we laid them on the floor to snap a few shots)
and then a little relaxing whilst eating the treasures from the eggs ... (yep, did it, but I've been threatened with my digital camera if I post photo proof of grown adults snatching candy from children, so you'll just have to believe me that the kids stash was raided!) then we feast on the fine dinner created by yours truly (herb encrusted porkloin, honey mustard sauce, ham, with special glaze, spaghetti squash with roasted tomatos and cheese, homemade bread, and the family added potatos au gratin, green beans, and salad - ym, huh?) then we all chilled and played board games, and laughed. after we watched the Masters, of course.
So since then, I've been trying to catch as much of our daily lives in my heart, and head ... and want to document the stories that are wrapped into these moments so, I've been snapping some photos, and learning some more about the camera. we've been very busy doing our warm weather pleading dance to the sky (read: playing outdoors until fingers were frozen, and noses were running and street lights came on ...) so here's a fe shots of that activity - or many activities! :o)
Today began spring break from school, and the kids are looking forward to it, albeit not a necessary (like the Christmas Break seemingly is for the kids!) break ... they are gearing up with friends over last night, playdates today after sports, and a fun filled, family-friendly dinner out a fave restaurant with the 4 of us tonight. So, with that .. I am off to snap a few more happy snaps, and enjoy the rest of the blustery winds with the squirts outside. Off to get my mittens, and hat.
Have a great weekend!

What? You watched the Masters over the Red Sox game??? :-O
no. silly woman, the Masters was on during the afternoon here on the East Coast, and then the Sox were on at 7:30 that night.
Oh my gosh, I'm LOL at the first two comments! Of course, I watched neither but I can appreciate Karin's firm response to the incredulous query. :)
Great pictures, Karin; I just love that last one of K with the baseball glove. We had an Easter egg hunt, too, with temps warm enough to get away without a jacket! Ah, memories. ;)
