Tonight we dyed Easter eggs. Makenzie fell asleep just a few minutes before we started, so she missed all the picture fun. After Easter Sunday I will post a blog just on her in her cute Easter dress. I am going to attempt to put sponge rollers in her hair for the event, since she must have curly hair for Easter, but we'll see how far I get with that. Today was the first day she let me do her hair, so there are high hopes for this weekend!
So Jake LOVED dyeing the eggs. He talked about it all day. It was hard to keep his little hands out of the dye, so we finally gave up and let him get colored too. He wanted to put each egg in each different color, so we experimented and ended up with some pretty cool colors. He can't wait for Easter Sunday and the egg hunt with cousin Ty. Jake has to speed it up this year, because last year Ty had all the eggs before Jake had even two! We might have to practice with him before Sunday! After the hunt last year, they proceeded to smash each egg to very small pieces. So this year we are hiding only plastic eggs from Costco(my favorite store always comes through - plastic eggs, decorated cute on the outside with candy already in them!). Hopefully Kenzie and cousin Lincoln will want to participate. I can't wait to see her carrying her Easter basket and picking up eggs. The best part is the weather is supposed to be warm, about 60. For those of you who think that is still cold, for us it feels like summer! HAPPY EASTER!

My favorite things about your post:
1. you change your background every time you post :) I love it. My changes continuously too. Probably more than yours.
2. You are letting Jake dye easter eggs in white sleeves. I don't even buy clothes with white in them for my kids. What's your trick?
3. You have very cute colorful cups to hold the dye. I think we will be using random hot chocolate mugs. Again. I'm such a boring mom.
We are dyeing eggs today I think. Aaron and I are placing bets on how many eggs get dropped on the floor. Good thing I bought three dozen eggs!
Oh, and PS. I'm so jealous about your weather. It's supposed to snow here tomorrow. Snow on easter is just not right.
When did Jake grow up?? He looks like such little boy.....no more baby!! I love listening to that song when I look at your pictures
I love you
Mom
