easter

this easter was the first time we dyed eggs:) audrey was all over it while the boys, well, sammy couldn't have cared less and jack was only interested once he saw the colored water:) the kids each had six eggs and jack dumped three into the blue dye:) audrey very carefully selected her colors and then very impatiently waited for them to dry. she even made me set the timer so she would know when she could put stickers on them:) we also, as usual, had a cake, because we told the kids that easter was a time to celebrate the savior coming back to visit us. the kids that this was just great and said we needed cake to "make him happy":) we didn't have an easter egg hunt- our kids are already too good at hiding things and making things disappear for weeks at a time:) jack did carry around his favorite egg- "ohhh, baby egg so cute"- for about three hours before it started peeling and stinking. then we had to find it, which was not so fun:)

coating the egg with dye- she really liked this part:)

waiting for the eggs to be finished

this was jack cuddling his "baby egg":)

sammy was more interested in toys than the eggs
