Easter

The day before Easter Sunday we made Easter treats...
 As usual it got messy...

We used natural dyes on our boiled eggs again this year...
I'm not gonna lie, I thought they came out awesome...


The next day the boys awoke to a little surprise waiting for them...

Then it was the morning egg hunt...

Inside each egg were some chocs and a little friend...

Isaac feels like he scored big this year...

The chicks were not impressed by their new surroundings one little bit...



Even when played with...

I can't imagine why?


We also gave them dinosaur eggs. Because those are so easy to come by...

You put the eggs in water...

And wait for them to dissolve to reveal your new dinosaurs...

They loved them so much, it seemed like the perfect present...
So I don't want to talk about the fact within a day we had lost most of the parts for both dinosaurs. We have a head from one and a tiny arm from the other *sigh*.At least they are still enjoying their colouring books...
Man my windows are dirty.Then we were off to visit Tim's parents and later my parents too.
