Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!  We actually managed to celebrate Easter on the day we were supposed to!  Here's what the Easter bunny dropped off for the kids!

I think Kayda must've seen part of her dress in it's hiding spot because this is our conversation from last night. 

Mom:  We need to go to sleep for the Easter bunny to come.

Kayda:  Bunny bring beautiful dress?

Mom:  Maybe, I don't know what the bunny will bring.

Kayda:  Bring Beautiful dress with polk-a-dots.

Mom:  Polk-a-dots?  What color pok-a-dots?

Kayda:  Green and blue polk-a-dots on beautiful dress.

Notice the dress has green and purple polk-a-dots.  Now Grandma H also came by with a dress for Kayda that had polk-a-dots so I'm not positive she was referring to her Easter dress.  I guess we'll never know for sure. 

This morning we all shuffled out to see if the Easter bunny had come.  The first thing the kids noticed were the guns.  Then Kayda noticed the chocolate.  She was very excited about that, once she pointed it out Dillon noticed and then he was very excited about that as well. 

We managed to pull them away for the Easter egg hunt, they did quite well of course we provided generous hints for some of them.  They'll figure it out as they get older!

Then it was back to the guns!

Check out Dillon, "stick 'em up!"

And that was the longest we could keep Kayda from her "beautiful dress".  We dragged them outside for a few pictures (we knew it would be only a few because it's chilly out there)

I am in LOVE with this picture.  Kayda tried to give Dillon a kiss and this was his reaction!  Such a little boy!

Kayda decided it was too cold, Dillon didn't mind (granted boys wear more clothes than girls) and he was going to check out those plants.

 We rushed back inside and took some more pictures.  Unfortunately you can't see their outfits because they're sitting down but I must say I have two goregous children!

Easter Prep... on time for once!

After lunch today we decorated Easter eggs.  Grandma H came over for the fun before she had to run off to the store.  We stuck the kids in towels (we used clothes pins to hold them on) so we didn't have to worry about staining their clothes, I thought their togas were charming.  We tried putting the eggs in whisks to help prevent broken eggs and such.  It worked wonderfully for Kayda but Dillon decided to was great fun to just keep putting the whisk in and out of the dye, thus splashing it all over the place.  They had a good time but they definitely weren't ready to be done when we ran out of hard boiled eggs.  Kayda is very excited for the Easter bunny to come and hide her eggs, Dillon doesn't understand the concept quite as well. 

When we were finished coloring the eggs we took a break for them to dry so we could do stickers on the eggs.  During that time Dillon took a nap and we ran over to Grandma and Grandpa G's for their strawberries.  Kayda was bundled up real good in her jacket, hood up, hands in pockets..and she tripped.  Poor girl, her hands were stuck so she ended up scraping up her chin, lips and nose real good. 

Finally we were able to put the stickers on the eggs.  They didn't want to stay on but the kids had fun anyway.  They ended up sticking more of them on themselves than the eggs.

He loves to show off!

She tried so hard to smile for us... but you can tell it hurt.
