Easter 2015

The pics we got Easter weekend...

Finished products

Eggs are complete.

One child had a red/blue pattern.
One wanted the colors of the rainbow.
One was whimsical and went wherever the wind blew. Including tie dye.

Can you guess which belongs to each child?

Ah, Easter egg time..

Look at the picture of the kids having fun.  A great family moment.

What you don't see....

*I told the kids I want them to wear something that could get dye on it and be ok.

Sarah came down with a long sleeved white shirt.

Passive aggressive?? You don't like that one, huh?

* This was taken moments before Caroline spilled green dye all over herself, the barstool, the cabinets, and floor.

* That incident happened just before Jack knocked over the orange dye.

*The above prompted me to ask things like "Are you serious?!!" and "What is wrong with you??"

I think I even called this "disastrous".

I'm a tad dramatic at times.
;)

* The back of Caroline's leg is still green. And she still smells like vinegar.

* A bath in the middle of our eggstravaganza is not what I had in mind.

But I pulled it together. I explained my frustration but conceded that, ultimately, everything is good. It all worked out.

"Finished products" pic to come.

I wanted to post this as a reminder that every pic is a snapshot of a day. And usually represents a highlight of the day.

It's not always reflective of real life.

Happy Easter

Our traditional tripod pics.  It always takes a few tries to get it right.  (or at least "good enough".)

This year we opted for the fireplace as our backdrop rather than the stairs. 

We're wild and crazy like that.

Take 1-

I didn't want to step on the dog.  Instead I look like I'm a foot away from Jack.

 

Take 2-

Not sure what Caroline is doing.

 



 

Take 3-

Good enough.

 

Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday we went to our church's annual Easter Eggstravaganza.

Everyone had a blast!  Sarah wasn't there because she had a sleepover, and we hadn't picked her up yet.

Dad and I were taking tons of pics so here are part of the results of our combined efforts.... (In other words, get ready for picture overload.)

 

 

 

 

 THE HUNT... They divided the kids into age groups.  Caroline and Kate were in the 3s and 4s.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Caroline was all business and surprisingly aggressive. Not mean.  Just get out of her way. ;)

 

 

 

 

Kindergarten, First, and Second grades.... Alex and Jack were up.  Unlike Caroline, Jack's in it for the fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Checking out the loot...

 

 

There were lots of other fun things to do too---
