{Virtual Coffee}

Good Morning.
It's a coffee on the porch kind of morning today.
So grab a cup of your favorite morning(or afternoon) drink and join me.

If we were really meeting for coffee this morning....
I would tell you to excuse the yawns and semi-grumpiness, it's not you...it's me.
I have slept terrible for the last two nights because I wake up all night long thinking I feel ticks
crawling on me.
Ughhhhhhh.
This si what happens when you spend the weekend at the Cabin in Spring--in the Spring after
such a mild Winter, things are just totally messed up.
Anyway, we found countless ticks there and some since we have been home. Gross.

We celebrated my brother's birthday at the cabin over the weekend.
It was beautiful weather and the kids got to spend pretty much the whole time outside which is
really good because seven kids and eight adults gets a little crowded inside.
Sunday morning we had an Easter egg hunt for the kids, the first of a couple they will have I am sure.

And speaking of Easter...
Do you celebrate? What are your plans? Are you travelling?
We will be celebrating with our families in town, no travelling for us.
I still need to find an Easter dress for Charlotte(along with a hat, at her request), and all the
fillings for their Easter baskets.
I think tonight we will color our Easter eggs because we have nothing going on and we will
all be home. I kind of love coloring Easter eggs if you wanna know the truth.

The lilacs are still blooming, I love this time of year.
I was sitting on the couch last night and the smell of them was coming through the front
window. We transplanted our lilac bush from Eric's parent's house a couple of years ago and
this is the best year for it so far.
The kids know how much I love them so they are always cutting them for me and I don't want
the bush to be empty but it is hard to say anything to them when they are being so sweet.

If we were really meeting for coffee this morning, I would tell you that I am still not quite

believing that it is April already. Wasn't it just January?! 

I cannot believe that we only have this month and next month of school and then we will

be out for the Summer. Already.

Kinda crazy.

Well, my quiet time alone is over and I have a lunch to pack and two kids to get ready for school.

Thanks for stopping by for coffee here this morning...tell me what is going on with you today.

How is everything?

Hope you all have a great Tuesday.

Ps- During my errand running this morning I think I might just go buy myself
Kelle Hampton's new book. I think I totally deserve a treat like that ; )
