Happy Easter Weekend

I was looking through a Pottery Barn magazine, and saw some of the CUTEST Easter decorations. One was this little white rabbit on a little stand....for $40 bucks! I was walking through a second hand store and found a somewhat similar one for..... 75 cents! SOLD!

just a little paint later.....
We colored eggs....
Saturday we had a little Easter egg hunt in our backyard with Cameron and Hillary for their little guy Carson and we went to a Strawberry festival....


ate at the Mean Pig, another place Man vs. Food went...

Snuck a picture of the guy who was on the show with the Man vs Food guy....who also winked at Joel....

Sunday we went to church, which thanks to 8 very naughty little 4 year olds was not very peaceful....but we came home, took a nap and then cooked away and had a delicious feast with the neighbors!

We missed our families like crazy!!! But overall had a nice Easter!
Around the flower shop lately.......
I made this little funeral arrangement.....all BY myself :)
Then there was PROM!!! It was a little crazy...I didn't make these but this is what our wrist corsages looked like....I should've taken more pictures...they were all different colors....
I did make these little boutonnieres though!

And I got to make all these boutonnieres and corsages for a wedding.....
It's been pretty fun! And I'm learning lots and lots!!

Friday night we went with a bunch of friends to eat at a place called Cotham's Mercantile way out in the middle of nowhere. They are the home of the hubcap burger and were featured on Man vs. Food. He ate a hubcap with 5 patties(which would be 5 pounds.......eww)......we decided just to split one with one patty. We also got to try some good ol southern Fried Green tomatoes....they were delicious! (although Joel didn't think so.....)

Locked out in your underwear.....and a sprained foot

Last night.....was such a nice night! I stepped out onto the back porch to look at the stars and sat there a minute to enjoy the peace and quiet, it was so warm! I wanted Joel to enjoy the night too so I yelled for him to come outside and join me. He had already changed into his "pajamas" (which are actually just his underwear) so he said he couldn't....but I said...."come on....it is pitch black out here, no one will even see you! Just turn off the light inside and come out for just a minute"......so he did. He came out and before I could say "oh wait!" he had shut the door behind him. My eyes got wide as I turned the handle and it was......LOCKED!!! Joel was locked out on our back porch....in his underwear.
We just looked at each other for a second and then we laughed and hugged and I started laughing harder and harder and he started thinking it wasn't quite as funny. We had no cell phone, no credit card to break in, I had bare feet, but luckily had actual pajamas on...I ran around to the front door, locked. I ran back around to tell him the news and started laughing some more. I ran across the parking lot, through the grass and up the stairs to the Freeman's house, knocked on the door. When they opened I tried to tell them what was going on but could only squeak out a few words in between my laughing. I was on the floor laughing so hard I was crying, Hilary started crying too. I somehow got out enough words to tell them what had happened. Cameron smartly grabbed Joel some shorts and a T-shirt and got us a credit card....hopefully it works! I ran out the door, still laughing, and down the stairs, thinking I was on the last step, stepped down off the 2nd and........sprained my foot.......awesome.
So I limped my way back home, gave him the clothes. He busted us in with the credit card. And all was good! Except my foot.... :(

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!

I wore green....Joel forgot, so I pinched him a lot until he finally found a tiny speck of green on the tag of his T-shirt...I don't think that counts....
We ate some green food.....
and a little leprechaun came and left little gold coins all over our house!
