Dying Eggs - Easter Fun Part 2

On Good Friday, the kiddos and I decided to dye Easter eggs. Logan remembered doing it from last year and was so excited to do it again this year. Lily is still a little too young to understand the concept and she kept trying to dump the colored water out.

Logan did really well dipping the eggs in the dye, letting them sit and then scooping them out with the spoon. He also helped me put egg wrappers on some of them and really enjoyed watching it happen. Every time an egg came out of the dye he would exclaim "look mama, it's beautiful!" I had so much fun doing this with him this year.

Lily wanted to participate but she didn't understand what was going on so her participation pretty much included trying to dump out the cups of dye and holding the Easter eggs and cracking them together. Oh well, so there were some cracked eggs in the bunch, it didn't bother them at all while they were hunting for them!


Mike is eating a lot of egg salad sandwiches this week but he can't complain because he got the recipe off of "The Splendid Table" it is actually really good.

Easter Fun

We were having such great weather recently it really motivated me to get out and do some fun springtime stuff. Of course, one of my favorite spring activities is to get the kiddos pictures taken with the Easter Bunny.

So, it was a balmy 75 degree day and I got the kids all dressed up in their cute Easter attire and headed to Ridgedale Mall. They always have great holiday set ups and their prices are pretty reasonable too! I thought it would be packed but we must have gone at the right time because there was absolutely no line! The kids were in a great mood so I got an adorable picture with them and the Easter Bunny. Unfortunately, I need to figure out how to hook up my scanner with this new photo editing software I am using so I can't post that picture on here yet.

After the Bunny pictures were done, we went and played at the indoor mall park. There were other kids there and Logan got a game of tag going. Lily really enjoyed going down all the slides and sitting in the cars and trucks. Mom even broke down and put in 75 cents so they could take a ride in the apple car. Well worth the cute pictures, I think!
We had an absolute blast and the kids were great the entire time! It makes me think that maybe we should go to the mall more often. They both walked beside me holding hands. They loved going on the glass elevator and on the escalator. It was a great day and I'm glad we got to have some Easter fun!
