i brought my two littlest girls up to my parents for a short visit.
there was no school and it looked like it might rain again and after that LONG rainy spring break we just had i was done with that…so we packed up and left.
and today we had a girls day.
🙂
breakfast at Wheatfields.
biggest french toast i have ever seen.
wheatfields has tiles all over in beautiful colors made into a mural…so so pretty!
trying on glasses.
pretty dress for mommy that did come home with me.
rainboots that i REALLY wanted to come home with me…..badly….the zig zag ones.
but they stayed.
i tried to convince my girls to pick these earrings and they went with milk and cookies earrings instead.
a little shopping at Gap…40% off shirts and leggings!!
score.
visited my MOST favorite fabric shop!!!
sarah's fabrics has an unbelievible selection of all the beautiful fabrics you want to see in real life…not just online.
camera fabric?!
adorable.
lunch was Sylas & Maddy's…local ice cream shop.
ice cream for lunch is perfectly acceptable for girls day.
pretties at urban outfitters….also loved their rugs.
did not love getting asked "can i help you with something SIR?"
excuse me?
what?
never happened to me before….we had quite a laugh about it all evening.
so many comebacks i could've had.
my mom and i stopped by to see my grandmas.
one was doing great and one wasn't feeling too well.
my girls were quite entertained by the fish tank at the home.
home to my moms….my sister showed up with her girls….we sent the kids off to play and had grown up girls time.
my mom found this wine in south dakota…home of sturgis…..oh my.
yummy dinner and off to the park till it was dark.
so much better than stuck at the farm in the rain.
yep.
i hope you have a beautiful Easter weekend.
we'll probably dye eggs today.
then i will head back to the rest of my family today so we can have easter together.
with a starbucks midway home…there is ONE starbucks exactly middle of the road between me and my moms house.
we frequent it…every time.
happy easter.
HE IS RISEN.
remember this video?
i still love it.
sunday's coming.
Stephanie - I’m not sure how I stumbled onto your blog, but I’m so glad I did! I’ve been reading for a while now and, while I love your everyday posts, the Kansas-centric ones have my heart. I’m a Lawrence native who has now lived all over the world with my military husband and you give me a dose of mid-America just when I need it. And to see someone else’s view of my AWESOME hometown? Perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Alicia D - wow, what a great day! these photos are aMAZing!! im jealous of your camera… and your eye.
Mary - wow!

Sarah{Handbags*N*Pigtails} - Looks like a fun couple of days. Have a blessed Easter Sunday with the family tomorrow. Sunday’s comin!!!!! Praise God! 🙂
Heidi DeGroot - I found your blog about a year ago and have been keeping up ever since. I have never commented before, but it really surprised me to see South Dakota on here! I am from Brookings, SD originally and live in Aberdeen, SD currently. I have not tried Prairie Berry wine yet, but I do love the Schade` Vineyard wine. The vineyard is in Volga, SD where I went to high school. Their rhubarb wine is very good. Love all the neat stuff you find on your adventures:) Happy Easter!!
Amy - LOVE LOVE LOVE the pic of you, your Mom,and Grandma…so much joy. Happy Easter!
April R - oh I wish I had a sister and mom to visit with and all that – thanks for sharing!
so thankful that
Sunday is coming
Sunday is coming
Sunday is coming
Melia - I was going to ask if the wine was from Prairie Berry and then the next pic showed the label! I’ve never had that one, but I adore that winery. If you ever have the chance-go! Love “Gold Digger,” “Calamity Jane,” and “Red Ass Rhubarb.”
Long time lurker…love your blog 🙂
Melia
Kristy - Love the dress! Where is it from?

Kerry Wiebe - I have trained the girls well of course they picked milk and cookie earrings 🙂
Have a great Easter my sister!! See you in church!
Heather B - Oh gosh, I love Sarah’s Fabrics. That store is my grown up candy store! I love shopping on Massachusetts St! And you are so fortunate to get a picture inside Claire’s. My 13 year old daughter and I got thrown out of Claire’s for taking a picture of her wearing some of their glasses! The manager said we could have been stealing creative ideas! We just laughed and went somewhere else.
sullyj - Thank you for the video…a great reminder for us all. Hope you and your family have a great Easter! And I would LOVE to know where you saw those zig zag rainboots! Would love to get them as a birthday gift to myself 🙂
rae - haha, i’m cracking up at the sir. my husband got called ma’am once, and he has a buzz cut…and is 6’2″, and looks nothing like a woman! we still laugh about it!
Jennifer@beautyinbloom - He is Risen, Indeed!
Happy Easter!
Melissa - Thank you for sharing that video, I hadn’t seen it. What a wonderful reminder! Happy Easter to you and yours! It looks like you had a great time on your girls day – I have two kids, both girls and I can’t wait til they get old enough to have eating out/shopping/fun days with me. Right now they are still a bit young, my youngest is 18 months and the older just turned 6. She enjoys a good Mommy & Me day, but the younger one still doesn’t really enjoy leaving the house. Someday! 😉
shannon - Shopping, Ice Cream, Wine, Family, Park, Love your girls day, it sounds perfect!
Hope you and your family have an amazing Easter!
