Getting the "Easter" Shot!!

 (I think James was just done taking pictures at this point, but those ties were too cute!)

Happy Easter!

As usual, we hosted the big family meal and good food was had by all.  Then we moved downstairs to find easter baskets and eggs.  

 James's basket was in plain sight.

No picture - but Rose's was in the dryer - hehe!

 John's toy was in the middle of the floor!

 Dessert - yum!

Burn off those sugar calories...

Who is that cute baby?

I wanna play with him!!!

The Eggs

The bright, tie-dye looking ones were from the shaving cream.  The others were from the natural dyes (onion skins, carrot tops, beets, etc in boiling water with vinegar).

Easter Egg Dying

 We did some natural dyes this year...they turned out ok.

 Then we got messy with shaving cream and food dye!  The kids thought it was more fun playing with it than trying to dye the eggs. 

 And I'm not sure I had the technique down since they didn't come out very colored in the end.  Oh well, maybe we'll do something different next year!

John vs Food

I'm thinking the yogurt won that round?

What does this do?

John has been really inquisitive now that he is roaming on his own.  This vending machine at James' tae kwon do class held his interest for oh, five minutes (that is a long time on John's clock!)

Rose's Spring Revue

Every once in a while, we get to go into class and watch how a typical class goes.  Rose has really improved and looks like a real little ballerina these days.  Can't wait to see her recital in June!

Fun food for St Pats

Ice Cream at Costco

 Look at me I am so cute...feed me some of your ice cream :)

 Hmm, not sure if I like it.

 Definitely thinking not.

WHY!!?

Wash, rinse, repeat. About 10 times before I gave up.
