Fire, flowers, eggs and a card....

So today was rather crazy...There was a fire right outside my apartment...Like walk 10-15 steps and you get to the woods - fire.... Ben and James were outside and they saw what looked like a small flame...Ben ran over saw the fire and ran inside the apt. to get a bucket of water...by the time he took 2 buckets out it was HUGE!! He called the fire department right away...I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story...
So someone decided to throw this out their car window:
And it turned into this really quick:

And then it got bigger,
and bigger,

And even bigger!!

Yay!! The fire department came!!

Assessing the fire I guess..... :)
The fire was creeping up to the top of the trees so they brought out the big "guns":
Don't look so excited people!?! :)
Yes....fire is dangerous!!
Awww...pretty flowers!! I LOVE spring!! :)
So there you go...that was my crazy afternoon...All I can say is thank goodness Ben and James went outside when they did...There is acres of forest back there...it could have been one nasty fire!!

So moving on...Easter was fun...we did an Easter egg hunt on the Saturday before....It was pretty cold but the kids enjoyed themselves...So dang cute these two!! :)
She loved finding the eggs:
So did he...
We ate way too much candy!! :)

I also had a moment of creativity this week...Here is a card using the March kit from My Scrapbook Nook...
I also must add that if you are wanting to get the April kit order quick...its selling fast!! So there you go...That is all I got for today...I'll check you all later!! GOOD NIGHT!! :)
