What a nice day off today…
I was up at 6:30am… didn’t want to miss anything…
I checked email and Facebook…
I even read some blogs… Since Google reader is going away come this summer, I have already found another place to read blogs called Feedly… It took a few times of clicking around but I think I have it figured out and it’s actually much nicer for reading blogs…
Hubby and the boys were up not much later and we had pancakes and fried eggs for breakfast… had a Saturday breakfast talk with the boys that we haven’t had in a while…
We then had showers, got dressed and I started baking… discovering that I was out of vegetable oil…
We brought out the baskets for the boys and we all opened our baskets…
I did have enough oil to make the carrot cake and hubby went and got me more oil after we opened our baskets… I’ll share pictures of the baskets tomorrow or so…
Throughout the afternoon the boys were on their games, hubby was watching old movies on TV, hubby and the boys also colored eggs and I was baking and back and forth from the backyard to the laptop…
The very delicious ham we had for dinner… with garlic cheese mashed potatoes, stuffing, creamed corn, cranberry sauce and rolls…
Coloring the eggs… we tried Kool aid this year adding the egg color tablets to the lighter Kool aids like lemonade…
Very pretty…
I baked brownies, lemon bread in mini bundt pan and pumpkin bread…
I baked a carrot cake but it stuck to the pan a bit and the frosting was very soft and was melting off the cake not because the cake was still hot but because it was hot in the house… Partly from the oven being on most of the day and partly because it was 85 outside today… we turned the air conditioner on for a bit this evening as I was sweating… Now it’s very windy outside and much cooler and it might rain tomorrow…
The yard decoration on the right was in my Easter basket from the dollar store…
These wind chimes I got from the dollar store last year and never did anything with them so today I finally hung them in the yard…
A butterfly and dragonfly…
We put some snail bait out in the yard today as these pesky little guys ate all the pumpkins that had sprouted up and are eating all the new leaves and buds off of son2’s orange tree…
There was still lots more I wanted to do today… go for a walk, watch some movies, do more on the laptop, read more blogs, go through my work papers, finish the laundry, clean my room… but there is just so many hours in the day…
Now dinner is done and we are watching TV… Raising Hope, Modern Marvels: Underwear, Grimm…
Hopefully to bed early tonight as I have to be to work early tomorrow to set the ad…

Happy Easter ! I love your new yard decorations. Too bad about those snails eating up everything. Hard to believe that you are so warm there. My furnace is running this morning but they say we may be in the 50's today. Rain expected though. Have a wonderful Sunday!
Happy Easter to you and your family Linda!!
Your dinner and desserts look yummy..
I didn't do eggs this year..
