Is It Christmas?

This is what we woke to on Easter Morning. Not what you would hope for when you want to wear spring dresses. Why can't we have weather like this on Christmas!

Actually I am glad that if it was to snow like that this weekend, it was Sunday that it fell on. I was in charge of the annual Boy Scout fundraiser on Friday and Saturday and we needed good weather to aerate lawns. I was quite worried when I woke Saturday and it was snowing before we even started the first lawn. Thank goodness for the prayer that was said as we started the day. The flakes were small and didn't stick and eventually stopped. There was no wind in the morning, but by afternoon it was kicking up. But by that time, the sun was out so it wasn't as cold as it usually is when it blows. So the day went without a hitch beside the fact that the rental place decided to close 2 hours earlier than normal. It was a success and I am so glad it is over--it is always so much work to get it organized.

Because of the fundraiser, Easter fell to the wayside this year. I didn't mean it to happen, but with getting back from vacation this last week and the aeration, there was not much time for Easter fun. We didn't have an egg hunt and we haven't even colored eggs yet. I told the kids we would do it for family night, but they really don't seem to have minded much. No new dresses this year and we had to substitute colored gift bags for baskets this year. (Our decorations have been pushed back so far in the garage from all the basement stuff, that I couldn't get to it this year. So no decorations either--I am a bad mother)

It wasn't all a wash as we did have our normal ham dinner, annual Easter family pix, and went to church. We even had our Easter lesson with the colored eggs. Thank goodness a friend had a brunch in which she offered that as a craft to put together for our family. (again, because my own set is in the decoration box)Maybe I will have it together better next year. Thank goodness the Easter Bunny was on it!
