Weekend Wrap-up

The Boyett's had an overall good weekend.
Friday night, Mimi and PopPop grilled burgers and dogs for the March Birthday Bunch; Adam, Carrie and myself. We had a good time visiting with the family.
Saturday we were scheduled to have a "work day" at the Meridianville Park baseball/softball fields. Matt, Mattie and I showed up around 9:30 and could not find any of our teammates, or anyone we knew for that matter. So, we headed for Lowe's. Matt and I always get so excited when we go to Lowe's. We were telling Mattie how that was our most favorite store of all. And within an instant, I had a flashback to childhood. I remembered how much I hated going to any kind of store or stores that didn't directly involve me getting anything, spoiled, yes I was, and still am. At that moment I saw the look on Mattie's face that I remember having on my face as a child. The look of, "why in the world would this be your most favorite store?". But, she was a good sport and hung in there while be bought new shutters for the house. She does get a little restless, but who can blame her given the circumstances. So, the rest of Saturday was "work day" at The Boyett's house. Nathan was at Mimi & PopPop's so, Mattie got to run around outside and not have to chase after her brother, which I think she enjoyed.
Sunday was a great day too. Easter Sunday it was, and a very cold one at that. This is the day your expect to break out the sleeveless dresses, and sandals. Why do we think that this year may be different? It is never really warm enough for that, but year after year we still don't get it. Ah, who knows, maybe next year it will be warmer.
So after Church, we dinned at a local resturant and headed home for the annual Easter Egg hunt. But again it was slightly chilly. Of course my idea of having the hunt inside was a no go with head decision maker, Mattie Grace Boyett. So, outside Matt and PopPop went to hide 17 eggs. Mattie of course had on shorts and flip flops. It was a fun and speedy egg hunt, thank goodness. Nathan found a couple and put them in Mattie's basket. Mattie was satisfied and had enough hunting herself, until next year that is. My OCD kicked in and I had all Easter decorations, baskets, bunnies etc. in the attic before we sat down that afternoon.
That was the weekend, boy they sure do go fast. So here I am working and wishing for the next weekend to be here already. This week we will have 2 nights of T-ball practice and Church night. We have plans to see the Doodlebops this Friday night (Mattie doesn't know yet....it's a surprise). Not sure if she will have a game this Saturday or not. I will keep you all posted and I will post Easter pictures when I get them off the camera.
