Yesterday was a trip to the big city of Billings...

Attended the Good Friday stations of the cross at Harvest Church...it was very good.

We have chickens, so have colored eggs! Mostly browns, peaches, and blues and greens. However, in honor of the season, we dyed Easter eggs this evening! We used: http://www.mccormick.com/Recipes/Other/Easter-Eggs, didn't have to buy a kit! yay!!!

No new goat babies! Bill and Bob have been gaining weight and getting more active.

Built a bookcase for ds's room. It is so nice to have that done! Six shelves, and there is tons of room leftover...so nice instead of piles of books! :) I thought I had enough backing for the whole bookcase...but I didn't... :( I will have to buy some more and pull it out and re-back it. Also, hoping to paint it-but it was going to sprinkle tonight, so instead of painting it and having it outside in the rain...we'll have to pull the bookcase out and paint it one of these nice days.

Also made homemade baked egg rolls. Tasted very good!
