Easter Weekend

Our weekend started out on Saturday morning with Felicity's soccer game. It was not a pretty site. They rallied after half time but not enough to win. After the game we left for Le Roy, where Craig's grandparents live. Every year Grandma Ginny has a scavenger hunt for the kids. It is a hoot to watch them run all over the place. I think this year we had twenty one of the great grand kids doing the scavenger hunt. Lunch was delicious as usual. We did not get to stay long because Katie our youngest niece was singing with her choir at the opening night of the Wichita Wild. They are an indoor football league. So after she sang we stayed to watch the game. It was a lot of fun. Very different then a regular football game. After that we went back to Curtis and Mary's (Craig's brother and sister in law) for dinner. After a while we decided that it was time for  the kids to head to bed. I headed to Wal-Mart to get the last of the items we needed. I stuffed all the boxes and eggs. It seemed like it was just a few minutes when I heard the familiar footsteps of someone in the kitchen, then the smell of breakfast wondered in. It did not take long for the kids to want to tear into the baskets. We ate and then then we made them wait. I know cruel isn't it! We had them all go downstairs so we could hide the eggs in the house. We had a wonderful rain storm settle in that morning. Mary my sister in law grabbed the broom and started yelling at the "bunny rabbit" who was running through the house with his dirty feet. Ginny was so excited! She wanted to catch the bunny and take him home. As they came up the stairs they realized that the bunny had left eggs all over the house. Grandma was armed with bags and the race was on. My nieces are old enough that they do not believe any more. However, they were really good sports about it and did not let on. Mary and Curtis cooked up a feast for lunch. It was delicious!! We watched the Royal's game and then packed up the car. It rained the entire way home. We made it home in good time to a very happy dog and cat who I think actually missed us. I hope you all had a very blessed Easter weekend. We had a great weekend and thanks to Mary and Curtis who opened up their home for us.  

The basement project

I thought I would share the photos of our remodel to the basement. Craig has a friend who is a super. with a construction company. He is very helpful and very very willing to help. We would not even be this far without him. Enjoy the photos. Our snow was all gone by Sunday night. We had several thunderstorms last night. Today was just plan windy and cool. The rest of the week looks awesome. I may just get the ceilings painted in both upstairs bathrooms yet!
