It's so fluffy I'm gonna die!


Name that movie.

This is the tree in my front yard.  It's so fluffy I'm gonna die!  I had a tree like this at my old house, but more years than not, the wind would blow the flowers off the minute they bloomed.  I am LOVING spring here! 
We've eaten out on the patio twice this week, and we've been getting our planter boxes ready for seeds.  I'm told we can plant tomatoes by the end of next week!

We have a fun yard for an easter egg hunt, so I'm trying to come up with a really cool one this year.  If you have any idea's for prizes let me know.  I've walked up and down the easter aisles at the store and I do not want to waste my money on all those dumb "party favors" that are just going to clutter up the house and end up in the garbage.  I also don't want a huge amount of candy around.  So far all I've come up with is homemade bookmarks.  If you have any other idea's I'd love to hear them.

We're planning to celebrate Easter on Saturday (at least the "fluffy" stuff), so that Sunday will be more spiritual.  I've never done it that way before, but it's making me more excited for Easter than I've ever been.

 (I think my green grass and fluffy tree helps, too).

For Easter I usually get my girls their flip flops for the summer. I also like to do play dough, side walk chalk, sunglasses. That's usually what we stick to.

Are you looking for things that will fit in an egg? You could do coupons- things like a "Get Out of Chores Free" card, or for fun things like an ice cream date with mom, or getting to choose what you have for dinner one night.

despicable me. I love that movie. A lot.

I'm envious of your awesome weather right now. It snowed this morning and yesterday morning in the PNW. I won't be envious in the summer time though.

Message me you address on facebook and I will send you cadburry chocolate. Not 800 bags though. That's about $3000 btw.

Have a great day.

We always celebrate the "fluffy" Easter stuff on Saturday, it just makes both days better, IHMO.
