Spring is in bloom

Sorry for the delay in posting, but the sun is out, and I'm loving the opportunity to spend my afternoons outside!! We had our Girl Scout meeting (with my volunteer troop) two weeks ago, and one of our Junior Girl Scouts brought in her pet bunny as part of the Pet Care badge. The girls LOVED it!! Easter weekend was pretty low-key and rainy, so we just hung out at home. This week was Marcy's birthday. I took the day off of work, and we went out to lunch at this quirky little midwest restaurant. We also explored the Ballard Locks, enjoyed massages, explored a cool Winery, went to the beach for the sunset, and ate dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant. It was a really nice, relaxing day!!

It's Standardized Testing time in Washington, so Girl Scouts is cancelled for the next couple of weeks. It's nice for me, because now I get a chance to catch up on paperwork, planning lessons for the end of the year, and take advantage of working from home (my favorite!!).

I'm in the middle of several craft projects - I was inspired by my friend, Paige, and her CUTE nursery, so I'm creating something for baby Kylie!! I think it is going to turn out super cute, and I can't wait to finish it. I'm also knee deep in supplies for my brother's rehearsal dinner, working on the invitations, and working on favors for the bridal lunch we're having for his fiancee. I can't believe their wedding is only 5 weeks away!!!

I hope everything is going well in your corner of the world. I am planning on getting out this weekend to take pictures of all the cherry blossoms in bloom here. I'll post those soon - they are spectacular!

Seattle in bloom - tulips are everywhere!! Reminds me of the Tech campus.


The Kaper Chart at our troop meeting - Each troop task is written on a branch, and the girls names are on the leaves. Definitely one of my favorite creations. You know me, I can't do anything ordinary :)

Easter decorations - I love these little bags!


Our Easter Tree - the ornaments are felt - I've been collecting them over the years, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out this year. We just used a branch we found outside, and it worked great!

It was GUITAR HERO, so the classic rocker face was definitely necessary!! Hopefully we won't get complaints from our neighbors like Bryan and Leann have for rocking too hard....we'll see
