Eggstra Eggstra Hear All About It

We dyed our Easter eggs on Wednesday while Derek was at school. It was raining, and I was feeling couped up, so we had a party. I had the Tinkerbell movie playing while I boiled the eggs and got the dye ready. I thought I would be the only person to enjoy dying the eggs, but Eden and Kael had a blast! Kael put the eggs in the dye and then went and watched his show while they sat for a while, then he came and picked them out to dry. Then, dumped more in the dye. Repeat. He LOVED it. Eden was a little jealous because I wouldn't let her do that part. Then, when they were dry I got out some stickers and let both kids put stickers all over the eggs and box. They had a blast. I had Eden on my lap and she wanted to grab the eggs so bad! She snatched one as I was helping Kael for just a half a second and of course that was the one egg I had crack. This will definately be a yearly tradition until the kids outgrow it. I loved doing this with them and it was fun that Kael was old enough to help too!

How an egg becomes an Easter egg

Kael was being so cheasy. It took about 20 shots of Kael say cheese and look at mom to get one shot. Somedays he is just a nut. He couldn't stop laughing for about 10 minutes!

I Love Blogging: Things That Made Me Happy Today!

I think I love being outside just as much as Kael and Eden do. A little bit of sunshine does a lot of good in our family. I love seeing these two loving life outside. Eden rides bikes and plays in toy cars and tries so hard to be a big kid. Kael does the exact same thing. I don't know what I will do when they actually are big kids. The older kids in our courtyard love to climb this tree. Kael thinks it is the coolest! So, today I helped him into the tree. Not a smart idea. He didn't want to come down. I mean he really didn't want down. He started trying to climb higher once he was up there. There were branches really close together so he could have. I literally had to pull him kicking and screaming down. I felt bad. Real bad. Maybe in a year I'll be ready for this. I know Kael sure is. :) I LOVE OUTSIDE TIME!

Kael's awesome photo skills make me happy. After we came in from playing outside, I started some dishes. When I got my head out of the sink this is what I find Kael doing! However, this might have been from yesterday?... I wonder how many times he has grabbed my camera without my knowing. There were a lot of photos I had to delete. There were several in focus though which was really quite funny and made me laugh. He is too silly.

Spring is in the air. Oh this made my heart swell! Leaves budding and flowers blooming! Summer will soon be around the corner. I couldn't help but snap a few photos of spring.
