Eggs and Bird Nests

Well, the eggs are dyed, the nests are made, and we've even done hair cuts for the boys so they don't have shaggy doo's for Easter tomorrow.

Possibilities...


I love the colors of coloring eggs. It's true. :)




The kids got fancy, not happy with dying the eggs one plain ol' boring ol' color. They mixed and swirled and combined in all sorts of ways. I loved watching them get excited about trying new combinations... creativity is so much fun!










So there you go... a glimpse at the masterpieces that were created this afternoon in our home. They had a great time! And one perk... as they are getting older, the mess is getting much much smaller.

After the clean-up, I thought I'd attempt our Easter sweet treats... the bird nests I showed you. They were SUPER EASY and rather tasty... especially the twigs!




Cute, aren't they?!

Besides eggs, and bird nests and hair cuts, we also made time to go to the movies this afternoon. We took the kids to see Rio. Cute movie. They loved it, of course. Can I just say the popcorn and drinks cost more than the tickets. That's silly. But we don't do it often. And it kept me from having to cook a big dinner, as no one was really hungry after all that snacking.

Well, we have church EARLY tomorrow... service starts at 8:15. That's early. So I'm off to bed. Happy Easter Eve! Have a wonderful holiday! And don't forget the reason we're celebrating!
