Easter Dresses . . . (or pinafores?)

So today was fun! We worked in the morning to get the house clean, the kids pitching in and the hubby biting off the big projects. It was sunny and cold!!! We thought outdoor jobs would be fun, but I couldn't get past the chill in the air. Tyler broke out the lawn mower, Scott trimmed the peach tree and fixed Zach's bike, and I made a huge batch of turkey/16 bean soup. By noon me, Brooklyn and Becca were on our way to JoAnns for inspiration for Easter skirts. We weren't really thinking of anything in particular but when we got there we were reminded of this great fabric, already gathered (I can't remember the name of it) and ready to stitch. Brooklyn (earlier in the week) had wanted the black and white fabric and I made her wait. I wasn't sure that's what we wanted to do, and I wasn't sure I'd have time to do much. But this is what we came up with. I think they turned out cute and will be even cuter on the girls.

We're thinking they'll wear them next week on Easter, but maybe tomorrow since it's our ward's Easter program. It's always fun to pull off a new project!!!

Another fun part of our day was a little shopping trip with Addie and Zach. They wanted to get paintbrushes from the dollar store to paint a couple of plaster Easter projects. I took them to CAL Ranch to see the baby chicks. There were Black ones, yellow ones, and a couple of black/yellow ones, and some turkey chicks. The kids loved it!!!!

Brook and I went to the YW Broadcast tonight too. We ate at Arby's because we thought it started at 7:00, but it actually started at 6:00. We were inspired by the messages. I felt like all the messages were for me . . . and I'm the mom:)

Hopefully tomorrow will be a true day of rest compared to today!
