Spring Break

The girls have been on spring break all week and it has been wonderful! We seriously have not accomplished much and had quite a few lazy days. The only time we left the house was to go to the library and grocery store. I did not want to travel far (at all) this week and so we didn't. It just felt good to have no schedule, besides a few chores, and no obligations. So this is what two little sisters and one baby brother decide to do one morning. Pile all the blankets and pillows on the floor and JUMP!!




The kiddos had so much fun! And then afterwards since we had to clean up the mess, why not change the sheets and make the bed. It turns out that the kids had fun and mom gets a clean bedroom. Yaaah!!!! 

Somewhere in this spring break I actually had time to sew. I finally finished the curtains for the sliding glass doors in the dining room/kitchen. I have had these curtains lying around for years. I love the color and wanted them to work so I used some clearance tablecloths to fix them up a bit. The curtain started out looking like this..


and all I did was add about 2 feet to the bottom hem to get this..


I love the little surprise at the bottom! Very happy with the way it turned out. It is a lot of fun coming up with all the finishing touches on this little kitchen of ours. I am so thankful!

I hope this Easter is special to everyone as we remember the sacrifice and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. Matthew 28:5-6
