I think I am about over that post-chaotic, wonderful holiday stupor that happens after all of the kids are here AND we have a gathering at my mother-in-law's house. I had so much fun with the grandkids when they were here. Each one has such a fun personality. The 5-year old is Miss Studious. She helped me cook by reading the recipes. . .what 5-year old knows the word "cucumber"? She reads anything at will!!! Can't wait until this summer when she visits, I am going to introduce her to my cousin's book series about her family. The 4-year old is just a bundle of optimism. She is so caring yet she can be a free spirit!!! Then there's the 2-year old grandson who is so smitten with Grandpa. . .it makes my heart leap when I see him follow Grandpa around and look up at him!!! That is a very special bond!!! We had our festivities on Saturday since one daughter had to get back home because of her husband's work. Sunday we went to my mother-in-law's house. I NEVER enjoy time spent there. Our Easter "feast" consisted of deli-ham, my two salads, and 3 bags of chips. There was dessert for the kids, but nothing for the adults. They don't understand that all it takes is a little bit of coordination!!! Oh, we did have green beans, but they came 30 minutes after we were done eating!!! I told my husband that going forward I would be more than happy to cater events. . .for a fee!!! If anyone were ever thankful for the work that goes into a meal, I would do it for free, but I have NEVER even gotten so much as a "thank you" from anyone other than my own children. Then, there's the parents that just send their children out to play on the neighbor's swingset next to a main road without supervision!!! There is no barrier to keep the 4-year old from running out into the street and the 6-year old girl is totally clueless as to why it is NOT a good idea to walk right in front of a swing!!! My husband and I ended up supervising that activity while their parents and grandparents sat inside the house. . .
My goal today is to get caught up scrapping everything that I want to get done. . .I am now 1 month behind on my 2015 calendar, so I need to get that caught up today!!!
At any rate, here's what I've been working on since late last week. . .
Love this for those elegant or heritage photos!!!
