Have you recovered from your egg hangover yet? We enjoyed an entire protein filled blood pressure raising week of Easterness. It’s really quite lame to enjoy any holiday for just a day, when the fun can be drawn out until you never want to do it again…
It was warm outside at the beginning of the week. That calls for an outdoor Easter egg hunt with friends from the ward 5 days before Easter! Woohoo!
Nice work! Hey Binnie, turn around I see another one. Hurry quick before Drew beats you to it!
Even if it was just mommy that hid these eggs, finding candy is still fun no matter what. To avoid confusion (and allergic reactions) all the eggs at the park came with a “personal touch.”
Hey this one has my name on it too!
I think Rowan is hiding eggs in her cheeks.
Enough of this fake plastic stuff. Easter can be so superficial. Let’s get down and dirty with the real deal. Rowan was pretty excited when she thought she could get her hands on the egg dye.
Curses, Mommy has foiled my evil plot! I’m laughing in agony!
Permission to dunk: Granted. 5…4…3…2…1…
Wow this egg dippin’ thing is totally wicked! Totally.
You dip them in the color water and the color stays on them! It works every time!
At first we had quite the variety of colors. This is a blue egg…for now.
We got out the paintbrushes and things got intense. Sometimes egg decorating can be a challenge…
Awaaaha ha ahaha ha! Rookie!
Drew’s blue egg is now a psychedelic egg.
The finished product. No green, yellow, or red eggs to speak of. Just a whole bunch of purplish brown ones. I guess we let them take the whole egg dying/painting a little too far.
The real reward is the black eyes, bloody noses, and dyed fingers. Egg decorating is a contact sport!
On Easter Eve Drew & Brinley made sure to set out a nice big carrot. Why? D&B said that the Easter Bunny doesn’t have a sled like Santa, or wings like the Tooth Fairy, so hopping to all the kids houses would make him tired. Sounds good to me! The Furry Home Invader left plenty of stuff to remind the kids of the true meaning of Easter, plus more candy.
Easter morning looks to be a success!
It wasn’t over yet. We sped up north to see baby cousin Logan be blessed, and spent the afternoon and evening enjoying great company and a fantastic Easter dinner at Aunt Marsha’s house. Unfortunately I forgot my camera, so that portion of the day remains undocumented. It’s a shame. Better luck next get-together!
I love to read your posts! You are hysterical! And your pictures are awesome, as always! We would love, love to get together with you guys! I am sure that Allie and Brinley would be great little friends 🙂 I have sooo been wanting to ask you to take pics of my kids – but I didn’t know if you were booking any???
Love the pics of Rowan watching it all! Looks like you guys had a great time!
Thanks for the nice comment on my blog. You are such a cute mom. I love the activities during Conference. You are so creative.
I love your touch of the true meaning of Easter, sadly I have never thought to put stuff like that in their baskets, thanks for the good ideas! And as always Brinley and her many faces…. adorable!
What fun! Thanks for letting me in on your Easter Bunny-ness – it was so fun, we’ll have to come up with a reason to get out without the kids again soon.
oh my goodness. you had so much fun I wish I could have been there. your kids are so fortunate to have such a hands on mom. They will never be afraid to tackle anything! Good job. You are making me look like a pathetic loser of a mom! We did fun stuff but not like you are doing! Love you
I love all the great stuff you put in the kids easter basket. I think it is so funny how they dipped their eggs and then painted them too! So I have attempted to do alot of the same crafts as you, and I feel like I am following my kids around cleaning up. Besides being super creative you must have a ton of patience!
