Easter egg fun

When it comes to Easter crafts and decorating……

Coloring eggs is exactly about all I do.

It’s not that I don’t want to decorate.

I can visualize it in my head.

I’ve seen some fantastic ideas on other blogs.

But when it comes to shopping and picking stuff out…

I always leave empty handed.

Maybe next year. 

But hey, at least we have eggs we probably won’t eat.

And a happy child.

Having eggs you probably won't eat is more than I've got. Maybe I'll just dye some bacon.

I have never decorated eggs with my boys. LOL! It is just not my thing, and they'd probably rot before we ever ate them. :) So, that's one for you! :)

When I was a kid and we would color Easter eggs I would take them and squish them in my hands....

Your eggs are beautiful and to your daughter they are the best!

Coloring Easter eggs with your kids means more than you think... about 3 months ago I smelt something foul in my 12 year old son's room. I looked for 3 days for the cause. Finally on the 4th day I open his night stand drawer and found a rotted Easter Egg. He loved the color so much he wanted to save it so he kept it next to his bed. I still can't believe it lasted 9 months before it started to smell rotten!

Cheers,
Dawn

Oh these pictures made me smile. I miss dying eggs with my boys. The eggs are lovely and I love the bunny hat and that beautiful smile.

That smile is totally worth having eggs that you probably won't eat!

I love decorating eggs with my kids. This year at the kids program I run we decorated 20 dozen. There were about 12 kids. Now, that alot of eggs to decorate.

When I was a kid we only got to do a few. After all, when you have 6 kids how many eggs are you going to make?

So, now I still am getting it out of my system. ")

We met you in May of 2004 at the Humane Society. You were the only dog who could have cared less that there were humans walking around.  While all the other dogs barked and barked at us, you lay on the floor curled up and awake, yet quiet and uninterested.  We almost passed you by but after mentioning you to one of the employees they said you were a good boy and that we should take you out for a walk.  Once outside you perked right up and wanted to sniff everything and explore and didn't seem at all like the dog you were inside.  We were hooked. We agreed to take you home and took care of the necessary arrangements.  Your name was Champ because the Humane Society had picked you up on the side of the road, very injured in what they assumed was a fight with another dog.  We were told you were maybe two years old at most.  The Humane Society fixed you up and you healed like a, well, like a champ.  We decided to rename you Baxter. We brought you h...

I’m more than just a stay at home mom.  I read. (see, the stack has grown since last time I showed this picture) I watch television. I exercise. I floss every day.  I go out with girlfriends. I spend time with my husband. I pay attention to current events.  I enjoy cooking. I enjoy drinking wine. I enjoy cooking while drinking wine.  I love trivia games. And Boggle. I make sure most of the food we have in our house is healthy. I love music. I am silly. I am serious. I DON’T like to be scared (meaning that my husband really needs to let me know when he comes home unannounced in the middle of the day and just lets me come downstairs to find him standing there staring at me like a criminal because for a split second I was sure he had just broken in  and that is the ONLY reason I screamed bloody murder and about lost my lunch before realizing who it really was). I am anxious. I am focused. I like schedules and routines. ...

Except Death and Taxes and School Pick Up Problems

Dear you, Hi there! We haven't met so I thought I would introduce myself.  I am a mom of two, a fifth and a third grader, at the school our kids attend.  You might recognize my car, as you drive by it nearly every day when you pass me (and plenty other parents) 10 minutes before school gets out to park at the very front of the pick up line. In a spot that is not a spot. Genius!  I mean why should you get to school early like many of us other parents do and park appropriately in the pick up lane when you can just come nearly at the last minute, go around a line of 30 vehicles, and park in a spot that is not a spot? Why didn't I think of that? You probably have special circumstances.  I'm sure you think that NOBODY else in the pick up lane,  many of whom have been sitting there waiting for 30-45 minutes have ANYTHING better that they could be doing with their time. I especially loved the day that you were parked there and ran over to grab your child and...
