Spring has officially arrived when it's time to trim all of our decorative grasses for new growth. Incidentally, last year we were doing this with my Mom two days before Brynn was born. It was just Jeff and I this year.
These are the bags from the front yard trimmings. The back yard took about four bags. Jeff's in the picture to make up for his absence in the Spring Break pictures. This is just as good.
It sprinkled rain all day and finished with a proper rain shower in the evening. I'd take a month straight of these days in the Spring. Especially this year when we haven't had measurable rain for over 6 months.
Bailey's teacher took this cute picture of her on cowboy day. They ate chili and cornbread and played cowboy games. I love 1st grade.
Yearly Easter egg dyeing. The kids pooped out on us again, leaving before all the eggs were colored.
My neighbors hold an Easter party every year on Easter weekend. The first year it was mainly just our cul de sac and a few extra friends. This year it was bigger than ever. She had a food truck come and park in the cul de sac. Everyone ordered what they wanted for dinner, the kids played on the grass and on bikes and the adults stood around and chatted. It was my favorite year. We live right in the middle of everything, so we just put a blanket out on our lawn and friends would come and sit by us for a while. I'm a pretty lazy socializer.
Later in the evening all the kids hunted for eggs at the golf course and then did confetti eggs at the elementary school playground.
Easter/General Conference weekend did not disappoint. We got to lounge around all Sunday, eating Easter treats, listening to conference and doing new puzzles. We might be nerds.
This was probably my favorite part of Easter. Jeff went out to get the paper and found this on our doorstep Easter morning. I have no idea who it's from.
