Professional Egg Hunters…

I think the boys may soon become professional egg hunters. Especially Luke. Luke had an Easter Egg Hunt Birthday party on Saturday and then the church Easter egg hunt Sunday.

Here are the boys and some of their church friends ready to hunt some eggs.

The kids were way into running around and grabbing eggs, so only a back view of Luke and I couldn’t even catch up to Daniel.

Showing off his loot:

The only picture I got of Daniel was in the car on the way home. He was much too busy playing with friends and hunting eggs to be bothered any earlier.

Next up for Luke: the school Easter Egg Hunt. And lets not forget actual Easter. I think we might have a steady stream of candy for a while!

Wonderful Easter Weekend and the Camera Challenge…

We had a wonderful Easter weekend! The temperature was wonderful and we stayed busy!

I, however, don’t have the best selection of pictures. I was quite camera challenged this weekend.

Saturday we ran a few errand and finally dyed Easter Eggs.

Luke dyed his eggs using a whisk. I got that great idea from Family Fun. It keeps his fingers- or whole hand- from getting in the dye. I just put the egg inside the whisk and he put it in the cup himself.

Saturday night Daniel went to a Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt.

I forgot my camera that night! I really wanted to get some pictures, because it was such a cute, fun egg hunt. The kids played and ate dinner and when it got dark out, the adults hid the eggs and then the kids went out to hunt the eggs with their flashlights.

It was the most peaceful egg hunt I’ve ever seen! The kids had a ball.

I continued with the trend of bad pictures on Easter Sunday as well. I didn’t take any before pictures of the Easter baskets…

only the aftermath.

Then there was the pressure of the family picture… I’m not sure how I got talked into that one.

There is the ‘sun is way too bright’ version:

And the ‘one member of the family crying because Mommy got onto him for constantly making faces because the sun is too bright’ version:

Then we tried to get pictures of the boys together.

Daniel picked out his clothes this year for Easter. The boy loves to dress up.

We went to a great morning of worship and then headed back home for an Easter lunch. There was also a mega nap thrown in there too. Can’t beat that kind of day…or weekend!

Sunday Scripture

 

Easter Egg Hunting 101…

By: Luke

Step One:   Refer to the preschool Easter Egg Hunt as the Bear Hunt.

Step Two:   Refuse to look at your mother for all Easter Egg Hunting pictures.

 

Step Three:        When the Easter Egg Hunt begins, grab your basket and run to find 
                                eggs.

Step Four:           Pick up an egg and shake it.  If it rattles, go to step six. 
                                 If it does not rattle, go to step five.

Step Five:            Throw down the egg that doesn’t rattle and repeat step four.

Step Six:               Place the egg in your basket.

Step Seven:        Bust open your eggs and ingest entirely too much sugar rapidly…

 

while refusing to look at your mother.

 

Cute Easter Desserts…

I love a good seasonal dessert, who am I kidding?  I love all desserts.  So I thought I would share a few cute Easter desserts.

A couple of years ago, I made this for the kid’s Easter dessert:

I’m not sure how Eastery this dessert is, but all kids love a dirt cake! This is actually dirt pudding. I bought a new little pail and shovel and put chocolate pudding inside of it and then crushed Oreos on top of the pudding and stuck the shovel inside. The kids seemed to enjoy this treat!

Last year, I found a recipe for a rainbow cake and it was wonderful! It was so fun, yummy, and this recipe was low fat to boot!

A teacher at my school brought these super cute treats in the other day:

She left out the coconut, but it’s cute with it as well.

I found another version that I think I might have to try.


These brownies look yummy and I’m sure you could dress up cookies to look similar.


And I can’t forget the Easter basket cupcake. These are cute and easy and I’ve made them with groups of kiddos a few times. I’ve never used the coconut, just green icing. You could get all domestic and pipe green icing on to look like grass if you wanted.

I’m still not sure what Easter dessert we’ll have around here this year. Decisions, decisions…
