Until today.
The kids have been begging to dye Easter eggs, so we did that first....
This little gem below is actually what was attached to the side of one of our eggs after we fished it out of the boiling water...
Man, we had a blast with that thing! Who'd of thought that you could kill 20 minutes by pretending to sneeze it out, pick it out, cough it up, or dig it out of your ear. My two kids who are all about boogers and snot had a field day with this tiny piece of egg.
Have I mentioned how classy we are?
Below is a pic of the kids dying Easter eggs. While Noah DID participate, he's not in any of the pictures. Everytime I stepped back to take a picture, he tried to drink the egg dye.
"Baby, don't drink the kool-aid!".
Then we decided to do what every good Baptist family does on Easter weekend... paint crosses and decorate them with buttons and sparkles!
"We put the GOD in gaudy!"
Actually, I don't know of many people who do that, but I saw them at First Monday in Canton and my aunt did one, so I thought it would be a good little craft to do with the kids and I could turn it into a lesson on the true meaning of Easter.
This is the first craft that the kids have ever done by themselves. I'm so proud. I actually resisted the urge to do it for them... okay, okay, Noah did have help.. but the other two did it all on their own.
Take a look!
Painting the crosses
Picking out the buttons and jewels
The finished result?
Noah's Cross
Nice and simple
Eli's Cross
Why yes, that is a dinosaur you see!
True, it doesn't take away the fact that he glued a pteranodon on his cross, but still...
Nandi's Cross
Which confirms my suspicion that she might actually grow up to be a Vegas Showgirl.
It's a coin toss.
Happy Easter weekend, ya'll!
