Easter Eggs!

I LOVE dying the Easter eggs!!!  I don't know what it is but MAN is it fun!!!

 

Here are our little gems lined up and ready to go!  :)

 

One of them is a trick though..... can you guess which one?

 

 

Getting ready to start! 

 

 

 

 

I LOVE the picture below!!

 

 

 

 

 

I had some NEAT kits this year.  I'm going to have to find them again one of them is more like a paint but it dries shiny, it's cool!  Another one magically turns the eggs speckled!  SERIOUSLY  SPECKLED and then it gets a band across the middle of the egg in a different color!!  I have NO idea how it does that besides simply MAGIC..... I have got to find those again!!  They rocked!

 

 

Ahhhhh there's my trick egg again..... yup, right there!

 

 

So another year of eggies have been colored.... I wish that process actually took longer than it does...maybe I'll do 3 dozen next year, surely we can do something with that many eggs LOL!  I just can't seem to help myself.

 

So back to the trick egg.... well.... it's an ongoing tradition that my mom accidentally started many years ago, that one of the eggs isn't actually boiled, it's still raw...so when the unsuspecting person goes to break open the egg to eat it... instead of a solid whack/crunch/peel...it's more of a whack/splat/awww man kind of trick.... hee hee hee hee..... I just can't help myself.

 

So hopefully HE doesn't read this before figuring out my whack/splat trick of the season ;)

 

Seder Meal at school

I was able to attend Mikayla's Seder Meal at school.  It was very good and a wonderful way to bring all of the 2nd graders together.  Her school has four 2nd grades so there were over 80 children that participated.

 

They were set up in a "U" shape and all of the kids knew exactly what to do and when to do it and so forth.

 

 

As part of the readings/prayers the kids all had cards to read their lines from. Mikayla got to read two lines.

 

 

Each one stood up and read to everyone there.  They used the microphone, they're in the big time now!

 

 

The teachers all participated in the whole event as well.

 

 

 

 

They acted out some scenes as if they were there when it all originally took place.  They were washing their hands in the picture below.

 

 

It was a really neat experience.

Here is most of her class - they were wound up after the event!!  well....wound up....wild....out of control....hyper... any of those work.  :)

 

Pink Cadillac!!

This party was designed around little girls....I LOVED this place.  Mikayla has already requested her next party to be here. 

 

Anyway what they do, is get these little girls all dolled up, the hair, the make up, the nails, the stage!!!! THE AWESOMENESS!

Happy Birthday Rachel!!!

We went camping!!!

Well to a camping party anyway!  Katie threw the best party ever and converted her house/yard to a camp ground for Tyler's birthday party!  (some of the decor may or may not have been made during a rushed lunch hour, in our work clothes and heels, in the driveway - or maybe not hee hee)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mikayla loves helping the littles and helping with the games!   

 

 

 

There was rock painting, bracelet making, and stump painting stations.

 

 

 

Wagon rides! 

 

 

Tyler's Trail was an obstacle course complete with stump jump, a hollow tree, binoculars, and a balance bridge!

 

 

Stump puzzles
