Eva and Allison had a half day at school today. Because of this, Eva had a friend over to play. Their afternoon activity was to color Easter Eggs. Allison boiled up 2 dozen eggs for the kids to color. They had a great time and made some interesting designs. I’m not sure what happened with some of the eggs but mixing the blue and the pink caused them to speckle and do other strange things. The eggs looked cool but we had no idea why the eggs were doing what they were doing. Eva was hamming it up by wearing fake glasses that she got at the Bowling Alley and some Easter Bunny ears.
In other news we learned that the kids love hard boiled eggs. I can’t stomach them because of the smell but they really enjoy them.
Easter Sunday today and the kids were wonderful. They cooperated pretty well when we got them up early for Church. They behaved pretty well in Church (Andrew was a bit fussy and had to go outside a few times). After Church we went over to my parents for Easter Brunch and an Easter egg hunt inside the house and outside the house.
Last night Allison and I stuffed the eggs that we had with Hershey bunnies, Kisses, Reeses Peanut Butter cups and York Peppermint patties. We emptied all of the bags too. So we had a lot of eggs. We also set up the kids Easter baskets and a note from the Easter Bunny explaining that he hid the eggs at Mem and Grandfather’s because our “naughty kitties” would have moved the hidden eggs all night long.
While Eva drew pictures in the kitchen my Dad and I put out the eggs in the front yard. We pretty much littered the yard with them so that they were easy enough for Andrew to find. Continue reading Watch Your Eggs→
