Easter Weekend

What a beautiful weekend it turned out to be! Jordan got to hunt eggs Thursday, Saturday, AND Sunday... poor kid was hunting the same exact eggs over and over again but he didn't seem to notice.

Thursday was his Easter party at daycare. He LOVED it! Each kid got 10 eggs; we were told after the found their 10 that they couldn't hunt anymore. I'm tricky, though. After Jordan found all of his eggs, I let him keep going. He'd find one, put it in the basket, and I'd take one out. He'd find another, I'd take another out. It was a pretty good system!!

Eating snacks before the big hunt

"I'm SO ready, Mom!!"

EGGGGGGS!!

I am so happy right now!!

He was having such a great time! And then Mommy told him it was time to go back inside. What a fun killer. 

"I am SO not happy right now!!"

"I'm just gonna lay here, you can't make me go inside!"

We stayed home on Good Friday and just played and patiently waited for Ali to come home. He kept saying, "Where seester? Where seester?" I wish they could see each other more often. We had fun, though, and the only time it rained that day was when he was napping, so we spent almost the entire day outside! 

"I'm gonna jump, Mama, just watch..." 

Ali came home that night and the fun continued. They chased each other around the house for a long time (which is customary when she comes home!) and then, after Jordan went to bed, we all played Clue. Mom won both games; I'm pretty awesome like that. I really thought Fuzz was going to win the second one but I pulled through. Ali thought it was fun just accusing people and making the little figures move all over the board, it was super cute. It was her first time playing but I can guarantee she'll have it figured out and beating our tails pretty soon!!

Little princess was pretty tuckered out that night!

Saturday we had another egg hunt near our church. Again the kids had a blast! They got lots more eggs and a LOT more candy. I'm a happy mama. 

That night Ali and I dyed some boiled eggs. I'm no pro at egg-dying but I discovered that experimenting with different ways to color the eggs (i.e. kool-aid, shaving cream) was a stupid idea. Our "grape" eggs looked like mold. Our "marbled" eggs (done by rolling in dyed shaving cream) stayed white and smelled like a man. Our last two eggs, which were dyed the old fashioned way, turned out beautiful. We didn't take pictures of any of them, though. It was a sad looking little carton with only two pretty eggs. We also made cookies! We decorated them all pretty and they tasted AMAZING. I ate them before I thought about taking any pics, sorry!

Sunday morning I dressed the kids in their Easter clothes and forced them to take pictures. :) Ali had been BEGGING me to let her wear those shoes (high heels, of course) ever since I bought them. I kept saying, "Not until Easter, be patient." That morning she took a speedy bath and didn't even ask me to help her get dressed. She was so excited. Jordan could have cared less about his new shoes.

Frame worthy!!

Sunday afternoon they hunted eggs. AGAIN.

MONEY!!

It was such an awesome weekend! The weather turned out perfect :) Sadly... I didn't get any pictures of Fuzz and me. Maybe next year!
