Easter fun

Happy Easter! We have been celebrating all week. We went to the Easter Pageant earlier this week. We sat closer than we'd ever been before. As always it was awesome. Me and the kiddos were going to sign up for it this year, but somehow missed the audition dates. Hopefully next year we can do it. We decorated Easter eggs today (Friday) since there is no school. Thankfully no die spills on my kitchen counter, and thankfully Seth took a little nap while all this fun was going on and woke up just in time to get in the picture.
Here's the loot. I had to take a picture of the eggs so they could always remember them after I had mentioned to the kids that we'd be eating some of them. That is such a hard thing for me every year. We mess up our kitchen making the eggs, then we either have to eat them or throw them away in a few days. I still do it, but I stopped feeling guilty about trying to get everyone to eat them before they go bad. Now I figure I bought them on sale, and I'd pay WAY more than that price NOT to have to eat them! I like an occasional deviled egg and a small serving of potato salad, but enough is enough.

I gave Seth one of the eggs that wasn't died...straight to the mouth it goes. At least its not covered in die and glue and glitter!

(FYI) before I get tons of questions about it, yes that is a patch on Grant's eye. He has to wear one for a whole MONTH in hopes that it will make his weak eye stronger. Yesterday he came in crying because some of the neighbor kids were calling him a pirate. Next week he starts wearing it all day at school. Wish us luck, it may be a LONNNNGGGGG month. poor kid.
