Easter '08

Happy Easter Everyone!

Friday we dyed Easter Eggs since daddy was off. From last year I already know that this was going to be a blast for N. He made such a mess last year, but had fun! So this year I laid down wax paper all over my new table, and then put a towel over N's chair(good thing too, cuz he ended up spilling some). He had a blast like I thought. I had gotten this roller dying set along w/a regular set. The roller set we will not get again it dyed through the eggs, and was a HUGE mess.

You can sort of tell in the picture, N dropped this egg pretty hard in the cup that it made a huge splash The eggs all done! Can you pick out the 3 that daddy and I did?!

This morning we got to spent a little time w/daddy before he had to go to work. It was nice the kids opened their Easter baskets. N loved his, M liked hers but like everything, she was more interested in N's.

N is trying to tell M to look at her basket.

She's still sleeping, she's like her Mommy and Daddy, not a morning person.

After baskets, N found eggs, he was so cute cuz when he found one he would point at it and say "egg!" then he would wait for us to say "well, go get it". Like he had to make sure it was ok.

Then we had eggs for breakfast(well, the kids and me, hubby doesn't really like plain hard boiled eggs). Apparently N is like his daddy and doesn't like them either, he spit it out, which for him is totally out of character. M only liked the yolks. O'well the rest will be made into either deviled eggs or egg salad.

The rest of the day was laided back, N and I went outside for a little while and he got "dressed up". That is in khakis and a polo shirt. He looked so cute I tried to get a picture of him, but he wasn't having it O'well. Then we watched a movie and he helped me practice one making a crown for M's birthday cupcakes.


After M's morning nap(really the only one the girl had today) I put her in her dress just cuz, and got some really good pictures of her. Then of course she got a hold of a chocolate egg and the dress was done for the day. That and the fact the the poor thing couldn't crawl in it, she keep trying, and it wasn't working for her, though it was cute to watch.

I hope everyone had a great Easter and I'll leave you w/some of the pictures I got of M.

Her cute smile

Being silly! She keep playing w/the skirt

The best of them all
