Egg-cellent!

April 5, 2018

While down in Naples we decorated Easter eggs – but instead of dyeing them we made cool designs with markers using these Egg-mazing Egg Decorators!

My mom ordered them and they really were fantastic. We were decorating fake eggs and they worked great on those. Nate and Delaney used them the following week with real boiled eggs and reported that they worked even better with those.

The kids had a blast with them and made some of the coolest looking eggs I’ve seen!

It was WAY less mess than dyeing eggs – I hope this tradition sticks around!

Easter

April 4, 2018

Easter morning we woke up and were happy to see that the bunny had been by!

All kinds of goodies for my crew! and plenty of candy too! We then got dressed in our Easter finest to head down to Montgomery for the day. While I was helping the boys get ready, Samantha disappeared and then re-appeared crying “I sorry Mama! I sorry!”. When I saw her, I knew why she was sorry…

pen

Yep, that’s ink. She took apart an ink pen in Maxwell’s room and was covered head to toe. That was after she had drawn on the back of Maxwell’s chair. I guess my kids just have a thing for furniture art! Thankfully she didn’t get much at all on the carpet and, even more thankfully, she didn’t have her dress on yet!! He dress was super special because it was the same dress that I wore for Easter when I was 3!

We had a great day in Montgomery – lunch at the country club and then plenty of visiting and cousin play time at Lulu and Granddaddy’s house afterward. I also got a few more good group pictures….

A wonderful day, indeed!

Egg Hunt

April 3, 2018

I’m going to go backward and recap Easter before Spring break. On Saturday, we put on our best spring outfits and drove down to the annual Inscoe egg hunt. Everyone was looking very, very sharp! (in my opinion!)

I mean…the cutest.

We had a great time at the hunt. The weather could not have been more perfect and we saw lots of good friends and family. Samantha was a bit cranky when we first arrived and seemed to be attached to my leg, but she eventually warmed up and was chasing boys around and loving getting to play with baby Margaret!

Egg Hunt 2

March 30, 2018

After our church egg hunt, we had another egg hunt that afternoon with our awesome neighborhood! The rain was threatening all day but it held out and we all had the best time! Look at this cute crew…

The big kids hunted eggs across the street in front of the school while the little kids stuck to one of our yards. I didn’t take any pics – was too busy having fun!
