Easter Weekend

Easter Weekend we decided to go to visit Alexander in WV.   Alexander's parents were doing his bedroom into a sports theme.  We bought him a bookcase and I got a great deal on a slightly damaged cubbie for his toys at pottery barn (grandpa was able to fix it).  My sister-in-law made his sports curtains so we went to help him put the finishing touches on his room. It turned out really cute.

They made the football headboard





On Saturday we went to watch Alex at his baseball practice.  He did well although he is a little leery when the ball comes at him.  He got hit in the head again with the ball so that is not helping. 



Alex and Grandpa put together one the the projects from Lowes.  These kits are really nice and Alex really likes doing them with his grandpa.

Saturday night Alex painted Easter eggs.




Sunday his parents wrote some clues for him to find the eggs outside around the house.



Nice family picture

While we were there Greg showed Bobby how to change out some of the lights around their house.  Greg is very good at working with the kids to teach them how to do things around the house. (I guess that's why he makes a good teacher)  Bobby was a little nervous working with the electricity.  Greg did one light and then had Bobby do the rest.  He did very well and I'm proud of him.

They look really nice

It was nice to visit since we hadn't seen Alex since Christmas.  Greg had spring vacation the following week so we didn't have to rush.  We always have a nice time visiting with them and the weather was great.  I can't believe how grown up Alex is becoming they just grow up too fast.   We went home Monday morning.  We stopped at my favorite grocery store  Wegmans in Fredericksburg,Virginia  http://www.wegmans.com   to pick up a few things.  I like their paper goods so I always stock up and they have the best prices on chicken and ground beef.  I take a cooler when I know I'm traveling that way and stock up on my way home.

Till next time.....
