Easter Surprise

April 1, 2013 Lana

Yesterday, was Easter and we had an EASTER SURPRISE!

My parents after being with us for 3 days had to go home. John Deere PaPa and my sweet hubby made the most beautiful pergola.  More on that later.

My sweet chocolate eyed daughter started crying – mournfully.  There are no words to describe those tears.

Since my hubby took off this week to finish some remodeling jobs in our home – we couldn’t figure out a reason why the kids couldn’t go with their beloved John Deere Grandparents.

My kids took 15 minutes to pack and got in the car.

So – guess my sweet hubby and I are alone this week.

YES!!!!

Sorry, for the outburst.

Not really.

An unexpected week alone with the hubby is a cheering event.

Cheer with me – YES!!!!

I am still amazed we are alone.  ALL ALONE!  YES!!!

The first day alone:

We are making the Girls’ room beautiful while they are gone – they are going to be so stoked!

  • We have cleaned out our girls’ closet and under their bed. (I thought about asking for prayer…how can a girls’ room get so messy?) 
  • We are painting their trim.
  • We are moving the ceiling fan and adding a chandelier.
  • We are finishing the bunk bed.  We are adding some shelves and painting it.
  • We are adding some pretty curtains.
  • We are adding art to the walls.

Hopefully, we will post some photos tomorrow.  YES!!!

Blessings to you!  You are loved!!!
