Cascarones
Hope you all had a great Easter!
We ate our way through the day!
Ricardo’s cousin sent us 4 dozen cascarones for the kids. Aren’t they beautiful?
Here’s a little bit of the confetti on the back deck from one of the dozens. We took the other 3 dozen to a friends house!

Camping
We took the kids camping for the first time with some friends of ours last weekend in Southern Illinois.
Big surprise, Piper Ann is picking her nose!
The kids loved this waterfall.
4 star accommodations! I was a little nervous about the whole “no front, or door” thing. A few glasses of wine eases the nerves.
Swimming in the waterfall when its 60 degrees.
Hiking…
Cool bridge…
Roasting marshmallows…
Me in one of my hottest moments. Don’t you live the miners light on my head? They are actually very useful.

Hobby Hump Day- Dollhouse
I’ve been wanting to try out this tutorial for a while now.
For my cousins daughter’s birthday I thought I’d try it out.
I think it turned out pretty well. I love the interior curtain!
Want to play along?

The Gardens
Last week we made our first visit to the Missouri Botanical Gardens this year.
All the Spring bulbs were beautiful.

You might remember “The Boy.”
Well I finally finished “The Girl” and they’re both framed and hung. I love the way they turned out.
The pictures don’t do them justice, because the lighting isn’t great.
Care to play along?
