Happy Easter!

I know the kids enjoy coloring eggs. And we enjoy watching their fun. But neither of the kids eat hard boiled eggs, Josh likes deviled eggs ok, and I'm the only one who eats egg salad.

A dozen colored eggs makes a lot of egg salad. So, this year we did eggs two ways. With the vinegar and baking soda like years past, and this year I made like a play dough out of baking soda, hid some foam cut outs inside and shaped it like an egg.

She made that face every time the vinegar overflowed the bowl, and then got excited when the egg came back into view

Then the kids used droppers and cups and poured vinegar on them to watch them dissolve and collect the little shapes from inside. Still a dozen eggs worth of fun, but only a half dozen's worth of egg salad. Win/Win!


The Easter bunny came to our house and hid lots of eggs full of lots of candy all over. Both kids had fun hunting, and Luca was super good and didn't try to steal all the eggs before Tessa could find them. So proud =)

Emptying all the eggs while eating some of the candy!

Then we went over to mom's where the Easter bunny had also stopped by and found a whole bunch more eggs full of a whole bunch more candy. Poor Tessa had caught Luca's cold earlier in the week and still hadn't gotten rid of it, so she and I stayed behind while Luca and Josh went to his grandparents for even more Easter festivities. So much fun and family for one day!

Happy Easter!
