We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Since the kids were out of school, we spent Good Friday coloring Easter eggs. They really have come a long way with egg coloring systems. I went for the "no spill" coloring cups this year. $3.89 why not. They actually worked fairly good. There was a little bit of spillage but no where near the mess that would have been made if I had let them drop the egg in a cup and try to use that little octagon spoon to get it out.
Then we used these little color filled Qtips to draw designs on our colored eggs. Just snap the tip and the color drains down to the other end ready to paint.
They turned out pretty good! And I didn't have to help them at all!
On Easter, we went to church and then had lunch at our house with our neighbors Will and Patty. Ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, and homemade mac n cheese. Yum. Then the guys hid Easter eggs for the kids at the playground and the hunt began.
You know when you have cute little Easter outfits planned for the kids and then something goes wrong right before church and the whole outfit is ruined? We do. Asher had a plaid shirt that was very similar to Emery's dress and some cute little red chino pants. Unfortunately, he was climbing on something he was not supposed to be climbing on in the house and when he got in trouble, he pee'd his whole outfit as payback. Its a good thing he can look cute in pretty much anything.
Today was truly a blessing. We played family baseball, enjoyed fellowship with friends, and had a nice family golf cart ride around the neighborhood in the evening to observe wildlife and Gods great beauty.
