Eve of Easter

The morning started out cold on the sideline of Carters first soccer game. He was really good! His team only made one goal and he passed the ball to his teammate and he made the goal. It was good to see him working hard and trying really intently to get the ball. I was proud of him and he really likes it a lot. So yippee! I don't love going to games every Saturday, but it is good for him to be out there working with a team and getting some heart pumping exercise. We only had a one week break between Braydens basketball season and soccer season.



It's bright out here!

Later in the afternoon was the annual Easter egg coloring! We all had fun doing this. I don't think Ellie has ever gotten to color eggs before so she was excited to learn all about it!


Waiting for the show to begin!

We all had fun and I even taught Taft a new easter egg trick that he had never done. You cut out shapes out of tape and stick them onto the egg and color it and after you color it you peel the tape off and it is still white underneath, so wahlah, designer eggs!


Look closely!


It is fun to see how differently every kid and parent likes to do their eggs. I guess it goes to show that no two Easter eggs are alike!


Ellie was a little rough on the eggs... she was having so much fun that she started to crack her eggs. Hmmmm. So the kids got to eat some of the eggs for a snack! Yeah for Ellie being two!


Can you see the cracks? Oops!

We have church at 9 in the morning, so we are going to wait for the big hunt after church. It doesn't help that it snowed a little bit this evening. Doesn't make for a fun early morning Easter egg hunt! Hopefully it will be dried out in the afternoon.


Happy Easter Eve!

Hey, we have matching blogs! I love the Easter stuff. I miss little ones to color eggs and put in cute dresses. Now they just want the dresses and don't let me pick them out!

The one of Ellie at the end of the table is my favorite, so cute!
