I follow this blog, and one of the features on it is {pretty, happy, funny, real}. The idea is to show an example of each on your blog and then link back to hers. So I thought I'd try it out...here is my {pretty, happy, funny, real}!



{pretty}






Not much prettier to me than my little girl in her Easter dress hunting for eggs. Each kid had 40 eggs and this year I took a tip from someone and labled each egg with the kids' names so that the finding would be more fair. It was also easier to hide them because of this.



{funny}





Oh yes, if you know Eric, this is very funny! The look of shock of a bit of yellow pollen on his favorite "flat-brim" hat is very genuine!

{happy}




Dennis and I couldn't be more happy with how our new front patio/deck turned out! We had this project in mind for a couple of years now and finally turned it into reality. It as a full weekend to dig out for the footers, lay and level the hanging joists, back fill with gravel for drainage and then put on the decking, but it really opens up the front of the house and gives us a nice place to sit and watch the kids as they play in the front yard. It is also a very happy place to sit with my coffee in the morning if I happen to get up before everyone else!


{real}


Really, this is the state of each of our rooms as I tackle the big seasonal wardrobe changeover. Doing all of the laundry, packing away the winter clothes, getting out the tubs of clothes for spring/summer and sorting, folding, putting away and storing. It is quite a process and I will be glad once I'm done!

Love the deck! Now all you need are a couple rocking chairs and a glass of lemonade.

Oh yes, the rocking chairs are in the wings, waiting for a fresh coat of paint and they will soon join the front deck with us!

What a beautiful Easter dress - and basket! And the deck looks great. That's going to be such a blessing
in the summer!

thanks for linking up!
