Bentley's aunt was styling his hair

We've started a new tradition of Family Game Night. This week we played Scrabble and ate popcorn. (I've had the game since I was little, it was still at my parents so I brought it home to enjoy.) My son is only 3 so he just watched and it helps him learn the alphabet.(Cheap family fun/homeschool = win/win!!)

I'm not going to the grocery store this week. I'm trying to eat up some odds and ends in the pantry. 

I plan on staying home most of the week to save on gas. 

I bought a floor stand up fan. It was 20$ but I believe during the day when my husband isn't home I can keep from turning on the a.c. and just run the fan in the living room. We spend most of our day in this one room. I won't have to cool the whole house until it gets hot!

I attended a baby shower hosted by a friend and she sent home a bunch of leftover food with me. It was very yummy.

Printed coupons for items I use.

Easter

Easter!!

I am so grateful for our Savior who suffered and died for us so that we may be saved!

We celebrated Easter at both set of grandparents. Bentley and Harper both enjoyed their baskets, even though Harper didn't like her movie or clothes! She wanted Bentley's toys.

We don't really stress the "Easter Bunny" thing but when Bentley and I were discussing the Easter story and I told him that Jesus loves him very much, he said, "Yeah! The Easter Bunny loves me!"  Not exactly right.. but ok.. I actually said the Easter Bunny is just a game but that went right over his head.

I didn't put in any chocolate ( My husband was appalled that Bentley didn't get a chocolate bunny!)  Just a few Starburst. A new movie, clothes, etc.
