Friday was spent getting ready for Easter. I wanted to fold the napkins into bunny ears like I had mentioned in my Thinking Out Loud post on Thursday. Oh.My.Goodness -- I'm definitely not as good as Martha Stewart! We had six people for Easter dinner and it took me an hour to fold the napkins. I resorted to finding a You Tube video for a visual. Jeez! If I'd had more people coming for dinner I would have had to start folding the napkins on Valentine's Day to have them done! But, the good news is I did get them folded and they looked adorable. Is it sad that my biggest accomplishment for the day was folding napkins?!?
My parents arrived bright and early on Saturday morning and we headed to Soulard Market. The sights and sounds of this farmer's market are so enjoyable. I really need to visit this place more often. Such a great experience. There was vegetables, fruits, flowers and plants. My favorite purchase of the morning -- Bar-B-Que Pork Rinds!
We were in a neighborhood close to Crown Candy Kitchen so we thought ice cream was in order. It was the usual 40 minutes wait -- but oh so worth it. We all enjoyed milkshakes before getting on with the rest of our day.
Sunday was much more mellow. We had a great meal (if I must say to myself) and more card playing. Great weekend.

Eric and I capped off the evening by watching the Cardinals playing the Cubs. Really Cubs fans, must you boo as the Cardinals are being introduced?!? So proud to be a Cardinal fan! Congrats on winning your season opener.
Our weekend was wonderful -- hope yours was too! I'm so grateful warmer weather is in store for us this week. It just seems like I get more done when it's warmer and stays light longer. Let's see how much I can get done this week! Join me back here on Tuesday for a refreshing fruit salad recipe. Have a great Monday!
Check out what others were up to this weekend.
Hats off to you Penny for sticking to the napkin folding. They look adorable. I would have given up after the second one. Your table was very pretty and I like the chocolate bunny touch on the plates. Sounds like everyone had a fun weekend. Looking forward to that fruit salad recipe. See you then.
