Today we dyed Easter eggs with our neighbors - we have a really great community. The girls and I took some photos of the eggs during our lunch hour. Gotta document a little bit of this with the big camera. At one point, Holly stuck her egg under her dress and pretended to sit on it. And then she encouraged Greta to do the same, but Greta took her quite literally and got herself into a deep sumo squat to sit on her egg. We were all laughing!
This reminded me of a funny little story from my Mother's childhood. My mom's sisters are quite a bit older than she is. When she was little they put an egg in between the cushions on the couch and then they convinced my Mom that she had laid an egg! I love this story - what memories!
At lunch my daughters ate their hard boiled eggs like it was their job. I guess the trick is to let them dye their own!
I'm sure I'll have more Easter photos to share at the end of the weekend. Or hopefully. We don't do the Easter bunny in our home. Instead the girls will go on a little scavenger hunt and find a treat from Momma and Papa at the end of it (why should we give mystical creatures all the credit!?). I've tried to keep Easter small, but you know... it's hard. I love to give to my children.
Hoppy Easter!
