Easter weekend

When I saw how late Easter was this year, I figured we'd have a warm (if not hot), sunny weekend. It's Sunday night, and we're on day 5? 6? of rain, and had a wild helping of thunderstorms and tornados Friday night. Despite the weather, we still had a good time; it was just indoor fun! (And on the plus side, I haven't gotten sick of watering my plants yet...)

We met the Easter Bunny at the grocery store. Thomas spent the entire shopping trip saying "Easter Bunny" and pointing, but then when we went in close for a picture, he got shy and clingy. This picture was our compromise: T was "safe" in the cart, but E.B. was still in the picture.

Niki came to visit Corey this weekend and they came over to hang out with us Saturday afternoon.

Saturday night we dyed Easter eggs. Thomas tried the little wire wands but decided his hands were more effective. His goal: to submerge as many eggs as possible at once.

The great thing about having a little kid dyeing eggs is that it completely eliminates the pressure to create "pretty" eggs. We let T handle all 12 and came up with a nice variety of bright eggs.

The drawback of the hands method...very dirty hands!
