Dying Easter Eggs

Dying eggs is something we enjoy doing together at Easter time. I actually cringe when we do this activity, because the dye is so messy, but it is always so much fun. This year, we bought the classic egg dying kit. They weren't real fancy, so we thought it would be fun to add our own special touches. Lilly wanted to make bunnies out of hers, so we made ears and added buttons to them. These eggs became "pets" so to speak. In no time, they were talking to each other. Bunny number one and bunny number two had a lot of work to do in order to be ready for Easter morning. A little creativity goes a long way and can make for some very "hoppy" kids.

All I Want for Easter...

Two days before Easter, your front tooth wiggled loose. You had lost the first one about a month before that, but to have two missing front teeth right before Easter was perfect. Instead of asking Santa for your two front teeth, you asked the Easter Bunny. You thought it felt so weird being able to stick your tongue through the hole...and eating is another story. A lot more crumbs have appeared on the sides of your cheeks, since that is where you are now biting. This hole has made it very easy for you whistle and spurt water. I just love to see your toothless grin.

The tooth fairy heard you lost your tooth,

Do you know what she did?

She made a map to visit you,

Cause you're a special kid.

You were very excited to find money under your pillow! Thank you Tooth Fairy!!!

Birthday Girls

There is always a good reason to go out with your girlfriends...and tonight it was to celebrate birthdays. (Both Denell and Jill have March birthdays!) We went to the mall (not to visit the Easter Bunny exactly), but to check out the latest and greatest spring lines. We had a nice dinner at the Olive Garden and then went to play bingo at the Emporium. Unfortunately, none of us were lucky winners, but we all had a lot of fun!
