Saturday night we colored Easter Eggs! This is our tradition--Saturday night we color the eggs adn on Sunday we all take turns hiding the eggs for everyone else to find. the kids really enjoy it! Its so funny when they hide the eggs becasue they will put like 5 eggs altogether in one spot making it even EASIER to find! They get all giddy when we make a big deal over finding them! I forgot to take pictures of our hunt this year!
I had to make Candice sit with her hands soaking in Dawn for about 30minutes to take the color out! She thought she was getting a manicure! LOL! We don't color very many eggs since neither Jacob nor I can eat them. This year we did have a few plastic eggs to hide with the real ones. They kids were disappointed that they couldn't color more, but if you know me-you know how i am about wasting food!!! :) After the kids are in bed, i put their Easter baskets together-chalk, candy, a book to share, bubbles and a little toy for Cameron!On Wednesday we took a ride to Concord, NC. There is a big outlet mall there. We weren't in the market to buy anything, just browsing around. We of course stopped at JARED, Galleria of Jewelry! We love that store-especially Jacob! and we also made a stop at Build-a-Bear. We thought the kids should do something fun! and they did have a good time!
Here they are choosing their bears! We gently guided them to the $10.00 bears and then told them they had to pick from these 3. It worked out perfect because there are 3 $10 bears, eacha different shade of brown!
On Friday, we left early to head down to Greenville, SC where Jacob's Uncle and Aunt live. They kept the kids over night so Jacob and I could go enjoy some time together. I will make another post aboutthe weekend--It was also filled with lots of new experiences and excitement! I tink for now, "Staycations" are definately getting my vote! (wow-we did more than i even listed-i am tired just from sharing it all with you!)
