Since our daycare was off for the Good Friday holiday, I got to stay home with my two little munchkins. It was so nice to sleep in till 7 (ha ha ha...I find it funny that 7 is now sleeping in for me!)
We were lazy-heady-daisys for a good part of the day. We (okay I) didn't get out of my jimmer jammers until 2 pm! After Audrey woke up from her nap, we headed outside and I worked on cleaning out my flower gardens. As much as I love my flower gardens, I hate cleaning them out in the spring. Maybe I would be more enthusiastic if our wheel barrow didn't always have a flat tire. But that is beside the point!
Next, we went out to our new land to stake out the shed that we will be having built soon. (That is a whole nother story that will be coming in an future post.) Then we went up to the little grocery store in town to pick up some eggs to color.
After dinner, we got our egg coloring production all set up and ready to go. There were 6 food coloring tablets so each kid got to drop in 3 tablets.
Due to me over estimating a 2 year olds ability to follow directions, we ended up with 3 tablets in one cup so I had to quickly rescue them and try to get them into their own separate cups. Needless to say our yellow was no longer 'yellow' but more yellowish-greenish-orangeish. The look of guilt on Audrey's face says it all.
After the little misunderstanding, we were off and running with the egg coloring.
Grant held the title of the official egg-scooper-outer.
And Audrey was busy watching in wonder and making super cheezy faces every time I told her to look at me and smile.
I mean, seriously! This is what I got every time I said, 'Audrey, look at me and smile.'
This one was even worse...instead of smiling she started snorting! Lovely.
This was the first time that I had put more than 2 piggies in Tootie's hair and I just couldn't get enough of taking pictures of the extreme cuteness.
Once all of the eggs were dipped and colored we had to wait for them to dry so they could paint, sticker and glitter them. Audrey was trying to blow on them to get them to dry faster!
And on to even more decorating. The kids really had a blast having so much freedom to decorate how they pleased.
We will be spending Easter Day with Duke's family up at the lake and hopefully the weather will be nice enough so we can have an outside Easter Egg hunt. Wishing all a very blessed Easter.
