The coloring of the eggs...

We colored our Easter eggs on Saturday. What a strange day it was. We were supposed to go to the big Easter egg hunt on the bluff in St. Joseph, but b/c of all the bizarre winter weather we received on Friday, that was a no-go. Amelia still is not feeling tip top, so she took a very long nap, and woke up in probably worse shape than she went to sleep. So we went ahead and colored the eggs. Didn't have as many as we would have liked, but it was a fun process.
Our eggs. 3/4's of them were cracked from the kids fighting over which color they were going to put them in, but they did have a good time...that's what it's all about right?! :)

Harry claiming all of these eggs.
Amelia was really funny. She was in her delicate mood, and she was doing really funny things. She was guarding her color cups that were in front of her. At first she didn't want any eggs in them, screaming "NO, MY COLORS!". Then once we were able to put eggs in them, she didn't want to take them out. Finally at the end she got the hang of the whole process.
I picked up these eggs to hang from our chandelier. I just thought they were too cute.
Amelia's general look the whole time. :)


The kids playing downstairs on their chalkboard. We have some furniture downstairs (thank you mema & papa), so we have been able to spend more time down there...the kids love it.
