Happy Easter!

So, after a whirlwind week of softball, bowling, baking and shopping; I spent this weekend being equally busy. I'm so not complaining - I love being busy, but my allergies are kicking my butt and I can't tell if I have just allergies or a cold on top of it. So I'm just whining (a little).

Mark and I had lots of stuff planned for Easter Sunday, so I had to get all the chores done on Saturday. I made a list and Mark and I tackled it and we did pretty darn good. Included on this list was washing my car (it looked really good for almost 24 hours) and making 40,000 cupcakes (or so).

First, I assembled my supplies...

and like magic - I created these!

up close


heee!

I gathered up the cupcakes and we headed for a family picnic (Mark's family)


The whole family gets together on a piece of property owned by a family friend...and we have a potluck picnic. Someone also sets up horseshoes and they do an egg hunt for the little kids.

It looks something like this


After the picnic, Mark and I headed to his mom and stepdad's for dinner. And I was ready for a serious nap.

I like to call this one - AFTER

Stay tuned tomorrow where I will tell you all about project Find a Church Part II.

And also - a gratuitous photo of Golem because as Mark says, "she so cute" (and also, because she's not a snake beast, Nicole)
