My two oldest Grandchildren (of 6) are shown here a few years ago when my tulips were in full bloom and I could hide the eggs under the flowers. These two nice children are only three months apart and are best friends...they are on the same hockey team with their Dad's as the coaches. Easter is early this year so Now there are NO flowers and it is pretty bare out there in my large backyard. But I wanted to have some fun and show what a nice memory this would make in a story quilt. Do you remember a special Easter and something you received? A basket, a stuffed animal, a stomach ache? I remember Easter as a lovely holiday of great brunches and hams and great potatoes, super salads, fresh aspargus and the first strawberries of the season. How about you?
Also, I had to share this cartoon for my husband's sake...I grab all of the covers and I can't help myself. Our bed gets kind of messy with him trying to fight for any covers he can grab. My daughter the perfectionist used to make her husband get up in the middle of night so she could remake their messy bed. He complained about it to us and we all told him he needed to learn to ignore her like we do. :0)

What a beautiful pic with all the flowers in bloom. I wish I could grow flowers! We don't hide eggs here, just the baskets. But we leave clues that take them to the next clue and so on till they find the basket.
As for the covers, my hubby is the thief so I keep an extra blanket folded at the bottom of the bed so in the middle of the night I can pull it up and have my own covers!
Cute grandkids you've got there! And the flowers are gorgeous!
Very sweet pictures. It will be warm here in Northern Ohio for Easter, but I have only seen one stray daffodil when stopped at a red light. Happy Easter. ((( )))
ha ha ha, great cartoon! I steal all the covers too. But a girl's got to keep warm!
I have to show that cartoon to my husband. Not only does he complain about not getting any covers but also about his (self-perceived...I might add!) 10" allotment of the bed surface! And I can never get into an unmade bed. On the very rare occasion our bed does not get made, I have to make it properly only seconds before undoing it to climb in and go to sleep! Enjoy Easter with your family!
I can totally relate to that cartoon. My husband says I hog the covers and the bed. He is so warm I know I am moving toward him all night in the winter--summer not so much. I think men must have heaters. Love the tulips. I'm still waiting for mine to start coming up. Too cold here.
Happy Easter.
that's a great idea with the eggs Mary Lou, I love the plaid one :)
cute cartoon, I think I'm the one that gets the shaft with the covers in my marriage. My husband is such a cover puller that more than once he's woken up and been under the fitted sheet. Don't ask, cause I really don't know.
What lovely photos of the children and tulips! So colourful! Regards, Nessie
Mom, I haven't made Mark get out of bed to remake it for years, but I should. He is still a crazy sleeper!
