Easter Egg Time!

"It's time to decorate Easter Eggs!" Our kids look forward to this every year. The only thing I don't look forward to besides the mess is the smell of hardboiled eggs! (I have a very sensitive nose!) Brennen and Taylor are old enough that they were able to do most of this on their own. Parker needed a lot of help! As soon as I would help him get an egg in the dye, he'd grab the stick and try to get it out and say "nother one!". I finally got him busy putting stickers on his drying ones so that we could let a few soak a little longer! This was so much fun for us to do. We also went on our fist family bike ride of the season. We rode through a mini hail storm-lucky us! It didn't look like it was going to rain when we left the house-go figure!







I watched a few kids on Friday for my neighbor. I broke out the Easter crafts and the kids made bunny masks and water color painted. They had a lot of fun. Parker loved painting. It made me miss my preschool days a little! I am so glad I was able to have this time with Parker and a couple of his friends.

Our kids are so lucky to have two sets of grandparents who love them so much. They are spoiled a little I think!
The kids opened an Easter package from Grandma and Grandpa Heuseveldt the other day full of goodies along with a card for each of them with some money in it. It's so much fun to get a package in the mail!


Grandma Harris made each of her grandchildren these darling pillowcases. She gave them to the kids last week for Easter along with a bag full of candy. The kids were so excited! Now we have really cute pillowcases! (I think I might beg for her to make Shane and myself one as well!)

Happy Easter! I love this time of year. Spring is so fun. Wish I could go bike riding soon.

Great pictures, Kellie! We still need to decorate eggs, and Easter was YESTERDAY! Wow, I'm really running late on that one. Thanks for caring. . . Hope things are going well out there. And, I hope the snow melts, too.
