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.

Why didn't I look at this yesterday?!?
That whisk idea is genius.
Happy Easter to you all.
Also, congrats Brian on the new title and you Megan on the new stay at home schedule! You'll love it (most of the time at least :) )
