Spring Break

We had a wonderful and relaxing spring break.  We didn't get to go on our trip as planned and that really stinks but we made the most of our week together!

The bunny was tricky this year and it took the kids a LONG time to find their baskets.
Even though we couldn't go away we did get to spend Easter at Aunt Diane's like the old days. 
The kids loved doing the annual easter egg hunt!

After a lovely Easter we had a whole week to work on the cottage!  The weather was gorgeous and my helpers were amazing!  Since I am apparently painting everything white, I needed some help. And the kids were excellent helpers.
So we primed and primed and primed.
The kids had a blast exploring!
The weather was unbelievable and we made sure to take some breaks from painting and enjoy the beach.
Oliver couldn't wait to get back to fishing!
We called in some extra helpers and got a ton of stuff done!
Then we primed some more stuff.
Then I bought 97 paint samples to try to find the perfect wall color.  I am color blind so picking out paint colors is really tough for me.  I struggle to explain what I want because I see color so differently than everyone else.  There are a rare few that can help me and understand me.  But I am getting closer to a decision lol!
The weather was so gorgeous that I even busted out the homemade cold brew and it tasted like summer!  To say that we are excited for summer is an understatement!  We cannot wait to finish up the cottage and spend our days at the beach!
