Friend Makin Monday - Easter Edition

Today over at {ae filkins} it is Friend Makin Monday!



::Favorite Things about Easter::

I posted last week that Easter is full of family tradition for me and this year, my favorite thing about Easter was that I have such wonderful friends to spend it with!  On Saturday we participated in an Easter egg hunt with our dear friends the Wiggins' at the lake  Here you can see how "daddy doll" enjoyed the day:

Then later that afternoon the Snipes family came down for a night filled with mess and candy and an  Easter day filled with more candy and mess. :)

Two toddlers breaking into more candy...


We dyed eggs in the grass, with stripped down 2 year olds so that the mess just wouldn't matter.  The kids had a blast and the moms were not stressed out because there wasn't anything that could be messed up!  Madelyn loved dipping her eggs in orange, then blue, then orange, then blue.  She wound up with gorgeous brown eggs. 
After we cleaned up from eggs, it was time to decorate cupcakes!  I baked mini-cupcakes and we just let the kids have at it with icing and sprinkles.  Madelyn even enjoyed the way they tasted!
Really enjoyed it.

Easter morning we woke up to eggs "hidden" in the yard and enjoyed a fun day with friends!


Madelyn had such a good time that she passed out on her beanbag chair watching wow wow wubzy at 7:10.

Where to start?

This is a welcome home sign that somebody put up on base. I'm sure the Marine recognizes himself in the picture as do all the Marines that know him. There is just so much wrong that I don't know where to start. Is this sign from a jealous girlfriend and wifey's on the bed of a pick-up truck on her way to Mexico to be sold into slavery? Is this sign from his brother who took "care" of wifey while he was deployed? Is this just a sign from the wifey who likes to advertise that she is lazy and fat and probably has cracker crumbs and bugs in the bed because this sign has been up for several weeks. I won't even get started on "the ice", like there's only one ice? I bet it melted really quick. Maybe it's on the ice in Alaska? Or on the ice on the boat that she bought with deployment money and is sailing around on with the brother? OK, it's making my brain hurt because it doesn't rhyme or flow. It's just a bunch of statements on ...

All Dressed Up!

It's All Dressed Up Wednesday with No Model Lady It's just a fun day for us to get dressed up and share it with the internets.  Today I did a little casual outfit that I've been thinking about for a while.  It's not super creative, but I LOVE this shirt and scarf combo.  Feeling pensive in the backyard. Feeling like a picture with heels sinking in the grass! This outfit was really all about the shoes.  Because it's always all about the shoes. This is how silly I felt posing in my backyard with a mirror propped against our glider bench. Shirt and scarf combo: Kohls Jeans: Levis skinny Shoes: Macy's clearance Earrings: Charlotte Russe Bracelet: a gift from my lovely Denise Did you play?  Wanna Play?  Head over to No Model Lady and link up!
