Spring is in the air + "Church Egg Hunt Picnic"

It has been really beautiful outside lately! Megan and I headed over to Home Depot last week... and picked out some plants. It was great getting out alone with my kiddo. We had a potato chip snack while taking a break on the lawn department furniture. (Healthy 9:00 snack-Ha).

We loaded them all up in the jeep... and Megan drove them around back.

"Hey... lets put one right here!"

Now it's feeling a bit more like SPRING!

EXCEPT...
for all of the leaves!!!!!!

Kevin HATES this part. We have 5 acres of leaves... and too many oak trees to count. For the last few years... he has used a leave sweeper behind the mower. It really works great... but creates about 50 piles of leaves that have to get burned. So... this year... he got a new plan.
LEAF BLOWING! I have to admit... it sounds crazy... but worked.

"Who needs a rake?"
It's pretty sad... but after 5 years of living here... we don't even own a regular rake.

It works really fast! (Pretty good too!)


"Church Easter Egg Hunt / Picnic"

We had a great turn out! Lots of kiddos to play games and hunt eggs!

Gammie came too!

"Hey this is fun"
Jake and Gammie hung out on a blanket in the grass...!

"Look at me... I'm getting bigger everyday!"

Bubbles! Bubbles! Bubbles!

The kids all loved dipping in to the soap!
"What is it with kids and soap?"

"Hey mom... this is fun!"

I looked over... and caught Megan and Evan hanging out on the swing together. Cute!

"Hey... I want some too!"

It was neat seeing so many kids out for the day.
More and more babies keep popping up everywhere! What a blessing!

Megan and her buddy Ben had fun checking out the cows! Megan got a like on the hand!

The BIG HUNT is on!

The big kids had to wait for the little guys to get a head start.
Ready... Set... Go!

"Here's one!... I found it!"
She got a pretty good stash of eggs!

"I love CANDY!"

They finished off the day with a huge pinata! Hooray- Candy for everyone!!!!!!
