Holiday Hangover

I didn't work on the yard this weekend, but I'm exhausted. I ran my errands a day early since I knew there wouldn't be time for them on Sunday. Shopping is so tiring. I usually do it last thing on Sunday to avoid being tired the rest of the weekend. But I started my weekend off with it this time. When I got back I focused on the 4 scariest rooms in the house. The kids rooms and their bathroom which has been neglected since last year sometime. I convinced the kids that the Easter Bunny would pass us over if their rooms were messy. With a lot of prodding they finished the task and their rooms are pretty clean. I scrubbed the bathroom up pretty good and now the upstairs doesn't smell like a locker room anymore. Anyway, the cleaning aparantly worked because the Easter Bunny came to our house. Chloe let me know by saying, "You were right Mom! We cleaned our rooms and the Easter Bunny left us stuff."

We invited my Mom and Sister and Brother-In-Law and Kennys family over for Supper on Sunday so I spent all of Saturday Night and Sunday morning cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning. I cleaned the LAN bar off and the oven out, you know suff I would normally dismiss as normal mess. With the last month being dedicated to outdoor work the house really needed a holiday to get me to clean it up finally.

Well, the kids had a great time, as you can see. We had lots of fun visiting with family. The grown-ups played Wizard and the kids watched some movies for a bit. And, of course, ate too much food and candy! It was a nice Easter.

Chloe is ready to go back to school today, she missed all her friends over the break. She lost another tooth last night and she's really excited to share the report with her class.

I'm a little groggy from all the activities over the holiday but I'd like to get back to building some walls. The wind, however, is relentless. It figures, it was nice all weekend.
