Easter Weekend

I took off Thurs & Fri last week and was able to attend Colten's Easter Egg Hunt at school and get a lot of cleaning done around the house before our annual Easter BBQ and Hilda Church's Sunrise Service. The Easter Egg Hunt was fun to watch and I got to hear that Colten keeps his teachers laughing with some of his comments. His teacher mentioned that while they were making aprons with hand prints for their art auction, he asked if the aprons were for the lunch ladies. They said that no, they were for the auction, but he thought the lunch ladies could really use them... how thoughtful!

Here's a picture of the kids getting ready to snag up some Easter goodies. Colten's in the middle somewhere!
The weather was beautiful almost all weekend and we enjoyed pretty much every minute of it. Of course it had to be chilly while we were sitting outside at 7am Sunday morning to watch the sun rise, but that's to be expected. At least the rain held off although we really could have used some. We had to chuckle a bit at the sunrise service when they set up the tomb for their program over our septic tank. Everyone also got a kick out of Rusty running around in the pen and stopping every so often to watch intently. The speakers they had set up had plastic around them in case of rain and were really noisy and that seemed to spook him.

Here's what the sunrise looked like Easter morning from the upstairs front porch. The light in the bottom corner is the church.
