ARTFULLY AVOIDING THE LANDFILL (& driving my husband crazy) ONE PIECE OF JUNK AT A TIME

Family Follies

Easter Eve we had some entertaining overnight guests...


Miss Marlee and her brother, Nolan, stayed with us while their Mommy and Daddy attended a wedding reception. 

Don't tell Sarah's Dad, but Marlee actually sat on Grandpa Glen's lap!  She generally snubs all men, especially Grandpas.


Easter morning, the Easter Bunny stopped by... fortunately while everyone was still fast asleep!

Nolan was most pleased with the tennis racket and balls, but he couldn't find anyone to play tennis with him so early in the morning!   He amused himself with another goofy ball he thought was cool.



Marlee was not overly impressed with anything, until Grandpa found some m&m's hiding inside an Easter egg.


The weather was very nice (finally!) and Marlee enjoyed her first Easter egg hunt.


Ethan was a great help to the little ones.




And, of course, Chandler had to strike a pose, just 'cause he knew all the cameras were clicking like crazy.


After the big hunt, everybody had to check out the funny animals on our farm (or is that check out the animals at our Funny Farm??)

This is what you look like after a baby bull licks your hand:


"Ewwwwwwwwww!"

T-Bone quickly moved away, hoping Marlee would like his tongue better than Kristen did!



Morgan wasn't in the least intimidated by T-Bone


And T-Bone was just loving all the attention!

I sure would like to know what brother-in-law, Larry, was telling the Llamas because he sure had their full attention!


Before we knew it, it was time for everyone to say goodbye.


Here's hoping you all had as wonderful an Easter as we did!

  2. I think Marlee has a new friend in Grandpa. It looks like he won her over. :) The pictures of the kids look like they had a lot of fun at grandma and grandpa's house, especially hunting Easter eggs. T-bone is cute as a button. Love his name.

    Easter looks like fantastic fun on your Funny Farm!
    T-bone is a hilarious name for a calf... is that his name, 'cause you're psyching yourself out ---you know to EAT HIM? or just a cute name?
    And...you've told me about the cows, and chickens, ...I don't remember anything about Llamas---Since I'm learning here, what do you raise them for? Wool, meat, fertilizer...or fun (on the funny farm)?
    And lastly--- How big is your parrot (that you never mentioned)?
    or do you keep an ostrich in that bird cage? It's huge!
    I'm loving the easter pictures around your farm. I want to come to your house and play! ~ Pat
    PS. What's growing in the kitchen sink?
