I love garage sales, Lindsey......wish I lived close enough to come!!!! I think that Jaci's having a garage sale next weekend!!
I spent last week cleaning my house and getting ready for Easter. My Mom has just realized that her house is just not big enough to host family things so pretty much everything will be here, I think, from now on. But she still brought plenty of food.....potato salad, chocolate and lemon pie.....my favorite!!! I made grilled hamburgers and the girls all brought salads and stuff to go with it. A meal that's simple and not too much work. I've decided that we don't have a have a HUGE meal every time we get together.
My brother was planning on going somewhere but I heard about an incident at his home with my neice so I let Mom know that he wasn't invited. I'm tired of all the drama that always goes with him. He's back on drugs.......because he's got a new girlfriend with the same problem. Not a good combination!!!
I did have on of my brother's daughter's come with her little son. Natasha is expecting another baby and has been so very sick but she decided to come. I've become much better friends with her since we've both been on FB. She's had a really hard life and she lived with us for a while when she was just a couple of years old. We also tried to get custody of her when my brother divorced his nice wife (who wasn't Natasha's mother) because we knew that my brother wasn't a good parent (nor was her real mother) to raise her.
Anyway, after we ate my daughters and daughter-in-law went out and hid the Easter candy then the kids all went out and found it. The little ones got to go first to make it more fair and the oldest girls were thrilled to be able to still be able to find the candy!!!
They also played volleyball in the front yard and Amy brought her Wii and we played with a dance studio game. It's where you follow the dance moves. I even did it.....as well as my Mom and Glen!!!! It was fun but was a work out!!!!
After that everyone pretty much went home. It was a great day but I was so tired.
On Saturday we had a Easter Picnic with Glen's family. I don't usually go but this one was planned at Glen's brother's house right close to us. We usually go out in the country somewhere but we had a 80% chance of rain.....which we didn't get. I find that I just really struggle with Glen's aunts that are Althea's sisters. I think it's because they all think just like she did. Anyway it was nice to visit with some of the cousins and see the grandkids!! And the weather was beautiful!!!!
