Decorating and Sunshine

Last week we had gorgeous weather so we spent a lot of time outside.  We took the girls to the park last Wednesday:

 

 

We also got ready for the Easter egg hunt at church.  Emily had so much fun putting candy in the eggs.  It's nice to give her these little projects to do.  

 

My parents and brother came for a visit this weekend.  Robert helped me hang all our pictures because I'm too chicken to hang anything on the walls.  I don't know where to start or how best to put them together . . . so Robert was a big help:

While we were getting the frames together Emily got a hold of my camera and took lots of pictures.  Here were some of her good shots.  I thought she did pretty good:

Then the kids across the street came over and they had fun playing outside so Robert could focus on how to hang the pics.  I bought them some water guns and of course Abigail had to be right there with them:

 

 Job well done!

We had a fun weekend:

While my parents were here I took advantage of their SUV to get a sand box and pool for the back yard.  The second they pulled out of the driveway guess what we had to do for the rest of the day : )  It was warm enough on an April afternoon to even play in the pool!

 The water was too cold for Abigail but she had fun walking around and playing in her water bucket:

When we went inside to get ready for dinner I felt like I had been at the beach . . . we all smelled like suntan lotion and were covered in sand : )
