Easter Stuff

This Easter was the first Easter I was able to do some egg decorating with my 2 1/2 year old. Last year, she wasn't ready yet, so I was very egg-cited (hehe) to get our hands dirty this time.

We kept it simple, I purchased some Kool-aid in various colors to dye the eggs in, and I had her use crayons to draw on the eggs whatever she wanted. She did mostly scribbles, but I made swirly and zigzag patterns. They came out pretty cool. My friend had given me a dozen eggs she collected from her chickens, but I was not about to use those super duper fresh eggs for this project. I'd much rather fry them. Fried eggs are the best, but oh so bad for you.


On Good Friday, we picked up my MIL and headed to the mall to take some photos with the Easter Bunny, my kids apparently love the Easter Bunny, because both are smiling in the official photos. Raffy gave him a hug and did not want to leave. When we got home, so told me in a concerned voice "mommy I forgot to ask the Easter bunny for princesses" (she loves the Disney princess and had been eyeing the mini Tiana and Cinderella dolls at Target). Well we'll just have to wait until Easter to see what the Easter bunny brings.
