Just a morning pillow fort while the big kids get ready for school.

Fairly shortly after we moved into this house, we knew we would eventually replace all the doorknobs. None of them matched and very few were actually in working order. We have tried to fix old doorknobs in the past and it is almost impossible to get the necessary parts. We replaced all the doorknobs in Barrington with replica vintage knobs and loved them. Wade began searching for the same vintage knobs on eBay and various places. Over the last few years we have acquired about half of what we needed as people sold a few at a time. (I assume leftover from projects, etc.)
Over the last few weeks, Wade bought the remains knobs we needed and got to work on replacing all the doorknobs. First he had to remove the old ones, fill in the door with a block of wood, then redrill for the new knob. Now we have wonderful new knobs and a bunch of doors that need a few extra holes filled and painting this summer.
The big boys were all frowns this morning so I asked for smiles or some attitude. The little kids delivered big time and I did get smiles out of the big boys.
With a lot of convincing, we arrived at our church with all four kids. The older kids were not quite excited to be up earlier than they wanted on a Saturday morning. Once at the church and around their friends, they had a great time. The big kids helped hide the eggs in the classrooms (the weather made this an indoor egg hunt) and the little kids couldn’t wait to go looking.
Easter breakfast and egg hunt at the church this morning.
