Easter Weekend

We had a fun-filled, relaxing, productive Easter weekend. Not sure how all of those things go together, but we managed. We also enjoyed lots of nice weather, though I think we may have skipped spring and gone right on to summer, because the past week or so has been super hot. We have even had a couple days over 90! It's looking like our summer weather is here to stay for a while too!

The weekend started with "productive" - here are my new flower boxes that I planted

and all of my tulips - silly me forgot what the heck kind of bulbs we planted last fall and kept saying they were going to be daffodils - no wonder they didn't flower weeks ago!

water fun on Friday - it was SO HOT (like 95)

We headed downtown on Saturday - Grady has a big bag of "yucky bread" for the ducks

wishing in the fountains - that could go on all day (or as long as my pennies hold out)

A new obsession - climbing trees

Check out the cool toy at the Michelin store - Michelin corporate offices are here, so there is a giant store downtown

Back in the chef hat - making carrot cake cupcakes. I totally tricked him with this one - didn't mention the carrots, and he loved them!

Playing soccer on Saturday afternoon. He must take after Eric because he is a good little goalie

The bunny came for Grady! And yes, that is Grady's $45 Easter basket (just the basket - not the treats) that Eric gets mad about every year.

plant your own flowers kit - Grady loves to garden!

Toy Story dive sticks - he was diving for rings at the bottom of the big pool last year, so I am sure he will be into it this year!

Reading his new little kids Bible with Daddy - he is fascinated by Bible stories and anything about God - must be the good influence of his school!

Looking serious as he started his egg hunt

IMG_8870

crazy dance he did to show his joy over me letting him have a chocolate egg

IMG_8874

He LOVES the flowers and wants to check on them every morning

We had a nice little Easter lunch on the screen porch since it was so warm

Ready for our Easter egg smashing contest (he won)
