We started off this week with a full table and ended up with an even fuller table!  Monday night was a big pot of white bean chili with some family and friends…

Later in the week, I was working on a dip-dyed project for the blog.  So, my sink was filled with pink dye!  It turned out really cute, I can’t wait to share with you guys.

I did some location scouting last week and found this little gem.  If I like the iPhone capture, I know it’s going to be off-the-hook-awesome with my real camera!

Brent had Friday morning off, so we started off the morning at Starling (LOVE this Long Beach breakfast spot), and then looked for an outfit for him to wear Easter morning.  Of course I have no photos of what he actually wore, but he told me he liked this mannequin look, so I snapped it for future reference.  Mixed prints for the win!

Speaking of Brent, have you notice how many skating pictures we’ve been posting!?  Our friends put a ramp in their backyard and Brent has been teaching the boys to skate.  It’s been fun and I’m secretly hoping this new hobby doesn’t end with any broken bones!

Saturday.  I was a little stressed to start the day.  I had a LOT to do.  Then, my friend asked me to go to boot camp on the beach.  I decided the to-do list could wait and I got my work out on instead.  Everything got accomplished and my legs felt like jello the next day!

We open Easter baskets on Saturday, because Sundays tend to be crazy busy around here.  My kids still get excited and the contents are super simple!  Usually everyone gets shoes, a new Easter outfit, a bathing suit, a movie and a TINY bit of candy.  This year I could find the big sand buckets, so everything got scrunched inside the small ones.

Saturday also involved making cinnamon rolls for the morning and arranging flowers for the tables.  So, here’s my dough hanging out with all those flowers.

Brent had to leave at 7:30am on Sunday and doesn’t get home until almost 1:00, so I had to enlist these three helpers to get me set up for all 21 (!!!) of us for lunch.  They were awesome and did everything from set the table to making lemonade for our guests.  And they’re exceptionally cute!!

I ended the week with a full heart.  I love my family and friends and it means a lot when we can all celebrate our risen Savior together!  Oh and if you want to hear Brent’s message from Sunday, it’s on the church website-  click here.
