I sure hope everyone had a lovely Easter holiday! Ours was one of the better we've had a for a few years! My kids have always been used to our holiday traditions but things have been a bit different for the past couple of years. Well, I decided we were going to get the Easter stuff out of storage this year and hide eggs! Yes, my kids are getting big now but we still had fun with it. Over the years I have saved the plastic eggs from the various Easter egg hunts we have had. We hid 435 eggs on Sunday!! HA! 
A little crazy but the Stable's grandkids came over and the 4 of them hunted the eggs. I believe there are still a few hidden today that we never found!
Are they too cool to hunt eggs?
On your mart, get set...GO!
Counting up their eggs...
The Grain's had a few neighbor's over and we had dinner at their house. The kids swam in the their pool.
We got up the next morning and made the drive to the big town....San Antonio! I've been saving my money from working and went prepared to take care of getting all the things we need. We went to the dance store, Hobby Lobby, the thrift stores, Best Buy and Target and Tandy Leather. There is never enough time when we got to the big town....we got home late last night by the time we made the drive home.
I got yarn to make the Blue Star Afghan and the yarn to make a Wedding Ring Quilt. That should keep me busy for awhile. I don't know how quick I'll start on those though. I hate to start something like that when I'm on the verge of being so busy this summer. But at least I have the yarn now and it was cheaper than what I was going to order online. I bought Hobby Lobby's "I Love This Yarn" which was on sale...it's a nicer, softer yarn anyway than the Red Heart I was planning.
Easter seems to have snuck up on me this year

My husband laughed at me when I told him I had to get ready for our traditional easter egg hunt I do for the kids every year. He thinks the kids are getting a little old for it! HA! He said I'll probably our kids are going to be 19 years old and I'm still going to be having Easter egg hunts for them. I told him Alison would be severely disappointed if I don't do it! I asked her and of course she wants the easter egg hunt! When the kids were very small we used to go to the church for the easter egg hunts and of course, you would come home with more plastic eggs every year. I never threw them out..I just packed them up in the attic and get the down every year to re-use. Well, it got a little out of hand. Last year we had over 300 eggs! I don't even want to know how many their are this year...the kids got some brand new un-opened packages out of a neighbor's trash that was moving. We threw those up in the attic with the rest of them. Thank God we have a big yard! LOL It's costing a small fortune to "fill" all those eggs. We went out tonight and bought a few goodies and prizes for their easter baskets and dye. We'll dye eggs Sunday but I think we're going to do the egg hunt Saturday while the weather is still pretty. Since my kids are older, we hide the eggs really, really good for them and make it a challenge for them. Every now and then I find an egg we never located later in the season! Alison has invited a girl friend over for the hunt.
