Set Up

Ellen was in charge of a crew last week to help on the final push of getting the garden ready for planting.  Andrew now has sciatica after working hard alongside the team!  With a little stretching and online seed shopping, he will be as good as new.  

I just put ourselves on every free wood chip waiting list around town.  It will be nice to get some mulch in the walkways so my house isn't the mudpit landing zone.

I put some plants in my planters.  It looks fun with life in it.  The kids are a bit bummed their digging holes are off limits now.

Easter

Kirkland Kiwanis Easter Egg Hunt

2014

Loved this kid's style:

Why go around grabbing eggs when you can eat on the job?

Good Morning Easter

We dyed eggs for Easter Eve so the Easter Bunny would have yummy snacks to munch on (they do live off of hard boiled eggs and carrots, right?).

Left on our porch with a note for the Easter Bunny:

Dear Easter Bunny, We would love to have treats.

Ellen witnessed a lot of "third child" parenting when she was here and the Easter Bunny seems to have gotten tangled up in that too.  When he runs out of Easter Baskets he improvises with a wonderful Thanksgiving cornucopia basket.  What a clever bunny.

My sweet cherry blossom of a niece (I had to threaten her to get her to smile!).
