Painting Eggs

Truthseeker and Thumbody enjoyed painting their Easter eggs the night before Easter. We decided to try something new this year, and let the kids paint their eggs. This is actually the first year I didn't buy one of those egg coloring kits at the store. I used food coloring paste, a tsp. of vinegar, and 2 tbsp. of water. I stirred it up, and let the boys get creative. Of course, Skaterboy thought that he was too old to partake in this activity, so he was playing a game on the computer at this time. Sometimes he likes to do these activities, and sometimes he doesn't. We leave it up to him.

My Adorable Skaterboy

It's hard to believe sometimes that children do grow up, and fast. In so many ways he is still my little boy, but in so many ways he is already a young man. This picture shows such innocence. Not many more years of that, I'm afraid. Do they really have to grow up?

Easter Cancakes!

No it's not a typo, I did intend to type cancakes. This is what our kids have called pancakes for at least 5 years now. Scott is our breakfast maker, as I am not a morning person. Some of you know this. I would be content doing nothing but drinking my coffee, and not talking to anyone for the first hour of my day. Besides, Scott is the best breakfast maker in the whole world. For Easter breakfast, before church, he made bunny shaped cancakes, bacon, and eggs.

Easter Puzzles

Truthseeker and Thumbody love puzzles! They are both quite good at putting them together. Truthseeker is a pro at putting a 100 pc. puzzle together, Thumbody needed a little help from mom with the dinosaur puzzle. Grandma brought the boys 4 puzzles for Easter.

Look What The Easter Bunny Gave Me...

Thumbody was so fun to watch this year. He got all into the whole Easter Bunny thing. He even made him a picture. Because we are Christians, we don't focus too heavily on the EB, it's more focused on what Christ did for us, but we do allow EB to play a small role in our Easter tradition.

Ham Is Overrated!

Okay, so we had ham for Christmas this past year. I wanted something different, and asked for suggestions. Skaterboy, our oldest, suggested Cornish game hens. So without a thought, and at $1.99 ea. at Aldi, how could I refuse. They took about an hour to cook, and were delightfully wonderful. I threw them in the over right after church, and we were eating by 3 p.m.
