Weekend Project

Kirk has been planning to build a new swing set for Elena and Maren. Our old one followed us from Phoenix but it is pretty old. Rusty old. So it finally warmed up a bit and last Saturday he got the swing set part of it done. Elena and Maren thought this was the greatest thing - they had their tools out and were hammering on their own with Elena's tool set. I love seeing them out there. They are so happy to be a part of this new construction. They are quite excited about this!

 Right in the middle of it, helping Papa

 Meme got to help, too

We did some baking while Meme was visiting, too. The apple cake was scrumptious and Papa only got a teeny piece. We three girls ate it all (mostly after Meme went home Sunday).

 One of the best parts is turning the mixer on

This is Easter Sunday after church. Somehow I only got a couple photos of them in their dresses. Elena had been waiting all week for the Easter Bunny (what kid doesn't). She actually did really well - I think she thought that the Bunny was coming Sunday night so she wasn't looking too hard Sunday morning. But after she found the second egg around the house, she was on the hunt. Oh my gosh, was she excited. I do not know the last time she was that excited. Maybe when Jesse was here. She also managed to eat all the candy out of the eggs that she found. She did share, though! I was really happy to see that, as was Maren!
