April snow brings May ???

Isn’t that suppose to be April Showers bring May Flowers?? Unbelievable the amount of snow we got over the Easter weekend.  Hopefully that will be the LAST we see of the white stuff for a LONG LONG time.

 

Over the east weekend we got the new blinds up in the livingroom.

These were being installed as I was serving Easter dinner. (Turkey and all the fixings). So in the time it took me to get the food on the table and start carving the turkey the guy had them up and was on his way out the door. 

I’m going to get a few pictures of my front flower bed and put them on here, I have some actual blooms out there.. I can’t believe it considering the weather we’ve had !

on top of the toys and “sweets” Brooke got for Easter she also got her first pair of “rubber boots”

and of course in her hands is her “cell phone” Notice she is wearing her Tinker Bell Jammies she LOVES tinker bell.

This past week she has started jabbering and gabbing pretty much none stop. when we pick her up from Amanda’s on our way home from work she makes a bee line to the livingroom to grab the photo album and starts pointing out Kenyan (Kevin) and CHCHannna (Shan) , Dada , Mom and then she proceeds to give everyone in the pictures kisses making the long drawn out kissing noise.. she’s too funny.  on the way home in the car she talks to all the kids that are just getting out of school yelling out the window.. KIDS !! HI !! Bus !! BYE!!  today she was talking about a Tractor  (not sure where she seen that I missed it LOL)  She’s quite the little story teller now !

Over the weekend her and Karla had a cold today when I was at Amanda’s to pick her up, Amanda’s little one Calleigh was sick poor little thing you could just tell by looking at those sad little eyes how sick she was.  and I was sneezing and filled up all day at work chest and head cold. So I expect that Brooke will no doubt catch it all again. 

Karla and Earl are going to have an evening out this coming weekend they don’t get out for a “date night” very often so we are going to keep Brooke.  Karla will be staying down the night Friday night with Brooke and then spend part of Saturday with her little brother before heading home to have her evening with Earl. Brooke will stay here with us for an additional night.  So I will be taking her with me to do grocery shopping. She’ll have fun.. she loves talking to everyone in the stores. 

We were really busy at work today first REAL busy day we’ve had for a while so it was nice but at the same time with not feeling very well it was kind of a stress filled day ! `Here’s hoping tomorrow is better health wise at least ! 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.  

Happy Hump day folks !! Thanks for stopping by !!

    I saw your post about Brooke on my Google reader but it’s not here on your site for some reason.
    She looked so sick in the photos but I’m glad that she is feeling better now. Hope she is back to her happy self. (((Hugs for Brooke)))

    Take care, and have a good weekend. Enjoy the good weather and working out in your garden.

    Hey Mom,

    I have looked at that picture of the new blinds for a bit now and just realize that you have gram’s old chair.

    I hope you and Brooke finally get rid of your illness. Warm weather has to be on the way, it is suppose to be 27 here tomorrow.

    Hope you are feeling much better today Ellen. I hate working with a cold. Hope Brooke didn’t get it the second time the poor thing. I suppose Brooke wears her new boot everywhere just like my kids did when they were little!
    What kind of flowers are blooming in your garden Ellen? All I have still are the crocus. We just got lots of cold rain when you got all that snow last weekend. Yes I hope the snow is gone til next Dec. -Jan! But we have gotten snow storms in early May, hopefully not this year.
    Hugs, Faye
