Easter crafting and new shoes...

...but of course not at the same time. Though I am sure I will some how find a way to combine the two sometime in the future.

Friday afternoon crafting. This  was the fastest crafting session I have ever been a part of! Kami came for a playdate and brought coffee, she is such an angel!

Silly me suggesting to do a craft 8 minutes before they had to leave. We had fun thought and next time we will just have to plan ahead. 

We had to take a few photo's, ain't we cheeky.

Of course we can be cute too.

A few Easter cards got made.  Now being sent out, that is another story.

After our play date Great Grandma and grandpa came for tea and brought apple cake. Anything with apple in it my grandma rocks at baking, must be a grandma thing....they just put all their love and passion into it.

I was still buzzing from the coffee with Kami after settling the kids down for the night and was able to tackle a few paintings.

Ethan is sleeping well again, thank the Lord!!

Welcome to my studio.

A shipment ready for the store. 

When Kaitlyn got up Saturday morning and saw that I had been painting she insisted on getting her stuff out.

All her "favite colours."

It ended up that I had a bit of a girls day out Saturday. After spending the morning taking my art down to the store and fabric shopping with a girl friend I continued on with the me time and headed out shopping with my sister TT. 

Ethan put himself down for a nap. Daddy was happy!

I came home with my arms full of goodies, the first for Kaitlyn. I just couldn't pass this cute set up. Then it was time to model the finds.

I was so excited to go shopping without the kids, I could hit every rack and try it all on. 

Mind you the down fall is that I therefore spent way more money.

But I love what I got. It was so much more fun than shopping online, there is an instant gratification to it and I get a sort of  high, I used to love shopping, and I did again on this trip.

My first set of ballet flats. They were the splurge item. Leather and to die for comfy...almost better than bare feet. 

There is another outfit as well but the camera died and I couldn't find the second battery so when I wear it I will snap a pic.

Today we celebrated my sister-in-law's birthday. My mom cracked me up with her interpretation of  21 on the cake.

Dave and I spent the afternoon lounging around napping while the kids played with Em and 'Phuph'. I love lazy Sunday afternoons.

Multi tasking. This guy is mad about cell phones and with 7 adults in the room who were able to produce 9 phones he was in cell phone heaven.

At home he has two play ones and the little red one goes every where he does, even to bed.

I interrupted my nap for a few minutes for tea time. Mmmmm, warm tea and a wing back chair, the perfect napping retreat.

Mom, dad and the kids followed us back here for dinner and crafting....and to watch the latest episode of Corner Gas. I have really gotten into this show and now can hardly wait to have a hoot every week when we tune in.

That rounds out our weekend. It was awesome and low on my stress scale. Having a clean house makes all the difference. Being able to invite someone over short notice is great, now just to keep it this way, ha, ha, isn't that what I always say.

I should have company every day for a week to keep me motivated and get me into a rhythm.
