Snow and Easter

We woke up to around 4 inches of snow Saturday morning so I knew Easter wasn't going to be a warm day. It ended up getting to around 40 degrees and melting most of it on Saturday but R still shoveled and Little man and I went for a sled ride in the morning. I'm glad I didn't pack the sleds away yet. To the south of us got between 6-12 inches so there was still a lot of snow on the ground at my grandparent's house. We got another light dusting of snow last night and it looks like we have snow in the forecast quite a bit this week, just light flurries, but still, is this ever going to end???

Easter was really nice. We got up around 8am. Little man found all his presents and had a blast. I ended up saving the game and some of the books from my mother in law for a later time, just because there was too much. The things I saved were all really nice gifts so I didn't want them to get unappreciated because of all the other stuff. I'll be giving those to him this week sometime. We made waffles and cut them into Easter shapes with cookie cutters for breakfast. Around 10:30 we headed to my grandparents house about an hour south of here for Easter dinner with the family. It was a really nice time, except for the fact that I dumped a whole plate of food on my clean freak grandmother's carpet. Dumb me thought I could get two plates at the same time, which I almost did successfully, until R's plate toppled off the side of the counter where I had it sitting while I scooped up my salad. It was embarrassing and since I'm hormonal of course I went upstairs and started to cry. It all turned out okay but I'm sure they'll need to get their carpet cleaned.

We got home about 7pm, which I love that it's still light! Then I cleaned the whole house so that it would be clean to start the week (aka clean for Monday morning and then messy by the afternoon) I always feel so much better when my house is clean. I was so tired, R and I went to bed around 9:30.
