A Hoppy Day

Happy Easter!

Easter  celebrated at Arbor House Lane.

A Productive Busy Week

We have been on Spring break.  

School and work both start again on Monday.

Although it has only been a week, it feels like a month.

Do you know how to make time seem like it is never going to end.  

Spend it with children.

They enjoy each and every second.

Our busy week was packed with;

 A little Princess turning 9.

The guy.  So now her brothers can play too!

Someone was super surprised with her birthday presents.

Easter.

 

Work on staining and polyurethaning floors.

Shopping trips.

Bike rides.

Jack vs. the Giants movie.

Movie night.

Splash Lagoon.........

Shopping trip in Pittsburgh...IKEA!!!!

Lunches and dinners out every day for the last three days.

So, what am I doing today, my last day of vacation.

Starting the finishing touches on a little girls room.

The floors turned out great.

Although, I do think I like the dark stain better.

We decided to leave these floors plain. 

It makes it easier if in the future we want to add color to a teenager's room.

We only have to put the trim back on.

Paint the walls the same soft lavender.

Paint all floor, ceiling and window trim.

Hang the new chandelier.

Find a rug.

Put furniture back in.

But first, I am painting the rug in the hallway so we can finish the upstairs hallway.

With these colors.

And finishing up the dinning room chairs.

I was able to get them all painted in between activities.

Now I only have two to stain and wax.....then slipcovers.

After I have my special breakfast.

This guy knows how to make his family feel special.

We each had our own pancake.

These should give me enough energy to do some tracing and painting.

How about you?

Did you take a Spring Break with your kids?

Did you go anywhere special or finish any projects?

Easter Breakfast

In our home we are lucky because Mr. M. makes breakfast for us every weekend.

If you ask my youngest son, he would ask for circle things (pancakes).

My two older children loves waffles, as do I.

He does make an awesome omelet too.

In anticipation of Easter Breakfast I thought I would get the dinning room table ready.

Pink tulips and a tree branch decorated with little Easter cards.

The kids don't know it but those are real chocolate bunnies.

Don't worry they won't go to waste. 

Mr. M. will use them for making chocolate chunk chocolate cookies.

I think this table is going to make the breakfast taste even better.

Little cards I made from copies of Easter cards found on the Internet.

Each plate has a copy of a vintage Easter post card and a fuzzy chick or duckie.

One of two vintage looking repro Easter decorations.

A once filled jar of chocolate eggs.

Mr. M. would like me to tell you that it was all the kids,

but,

 this man has a mean sweet tooth.

A view in the mirror.

This corner of the dinning room has one of my favorite finds, 

an iron tea cart filled with assorted whites.

A little garden planter just waiting for some Spring plantings.

I hope you enjoyed our Easter table.
I am sharing my Easter with Debra from Common Ground for Vintage Easter Inspiration.



Happy Easter and have a wonderful weekend!
