Wish You'd Been There




What a lovely Easter we had at my sister Toni's house yesterday. Thankfully she is just 30 minutes away. We were sad to not have all the big girls and their babies, not to mention the other sister with her family and the good brother and his wife. My parents and all my boys were there, if you are wondering why no photos of the 3 older boys, it's not because I haven't tried...seems as though they prefer not to be blog stars...

Oh well, I'm just lucky enough to have a 7 year old that is certainly not camera shy!

Looks like he has something meaningful to share...

Still on a mission for a camera, I tried all the ones I could round up yesterday

cute Easter chicks!
Could spring really be coming?






Then I put it all together and what do you know
Easter!

If you haven't tried Picasa, it is a free download from Google, it is really fun!
After dinner we made a couple of feed sack totes, but I didn't get a picture because it was soooo late(a classic case of it takes longer than you think it will)... however I was so happy this morning to get this from Dawn

She did it! Even with the convoluted tutorial. Now that is what I call a blog star!!

Speaking of cute chicks, remember

a mother's work



is never done

Oh my! I think they're done!

No these are not mine... But kinda makes me wish I had a coop!

  5. So glad you had such a nice Easter. We have no family near us and hardly ever get to see them. I enjoy seeing everyone's family gatherings!! The Mama hen photos are great. I can hardly wait till I have my own hens!!

  6. That young boy of yours needs some chores...like getting eggs from chickens, feeding them and cleaning up after them. Then it's not your resposibility AND you will have fresh eggs. Don't ya think?? :o)
