The three day Easter holiday was awesome!!! The weather couldn't have cooperated any better, we had temps in the upper 70's all three days. Friday and Saturday Dwight and I got a lot of yard work done that we have been wanting to get to for awhile. We spent all day picking up tree limbs and trimming the hedges, cut down a few wild trees that we weren't sure what they were, looked more like over grown weeds to me = ) We made a run to Lowe's for a trailer load of mulch, cleaned out the flower bed in front of the house and got the mulch down and our hydrangea bushes that we moved from out Powell house. They are all three special to us and I wasn't about to leave them there. One, Chad got me for Mother's day last year, and the other two are both from our Mother's funeral services two years ago.
We got the yard all spruced up, made a run to Sam's club for some Easter food and I got the house all clean for Sunday when the kids would be here. This was absolutely the best holiday we have had in such a long time. It is so wonderful to be back home in Maryville again near the kids and have them be able to visit more often. I got my dinner ready and Chad got here first with a couple loads of laundry for me to do for him *LOL* bachelorhood for him is wonderful!!! He brought Tyson (his 200 lb. boxer dog) with him, which upset me a little to start with cause I wouldn't be able to let me pups outside with him here, they don't get along very well and Daisy thinks she is BIGGER than him so that would be a fight to start with. About an hour later Marci, Skeeter and Megan got here and we started hiding all the eggs for Megan to hunt, I already had four dozen out for her so I think she ended up with around 100 eggs to find. We had a great dinner and the kids brought some goodies for dinner with them so there was more than enough for everybody to eat and also take home some doggie bags = )
After our food settled, we all headed out to the back yard for an evening of games and some good time spent together. Chad had some frisbee's which were Tyson's, but he let us borrow them for the afternoon *LOL* I played till I just couldn't run any more and I think the guys were actually getting aggravated at me cause I couldn't throw it as good as them...LMAO Skeeter had a Corn Hold game that we all had a great time playing, so we spent several hours with that. Big D wasn't breathing to good that day so he didn't join the games with us, but he did sit out on the deck with us and him and Marci engaged in one of their famous 'family talks' She loves getting him started. The kids stayed till about 8:30 and I really hated to see the day come to an end but knew everybody had to get ready for work the next day.
I could not have enjoyed the weekend holiday any more and look forward to many more. Miss Meg said it was her Bestest Easter ever that she could remember!!! Here's a few pics of the family together.
