I feel like I am cheating...

I am blessed to have a friend who is raising chickens so she and her girls can enjoy fresh eggs. She has shared the wealth and I am forever grateful. Well, I wanted to dye eggs this year (first time for the kids) and I didn't want to use our wonderful organic cage-free delicious eggs because even though they will be boiled, I am not sure how much time they will spend out of the fridge being played with on Sunday. So, the likelihood of the dyed eggs being consumed is pretty low. So, I bought eggs. I bought white non-organic eggs. (GASP! THE HORROR!!)

G thought this whole process was beneath her (or she got tired of Mama saying she had to wait while Mama took some photos).

B thought it was really fun, but he was able to get closer to the dye.

I guess it wasn't a total bust.

Egg Hunts - one week ago

As an almost 4 year old, B is very into holiday celebrations and Easter is no exception. We spent last Wednesday morning hunting eggs first with his preschool class then onto play group, where a local shopping center was sponsoring a merchant egg hunt. The rain held off so we got to enjoy a couple hours of walking in the fresh air. 

Waiting for the teachers to lead them to the play ground. 

Walking over to the hunting ground.

Gathering eggs. They were instructed to collect 7 eggs. Within 30 seconds, B was back to me showing off his stash..

While the play group moms gathered in the background, I asked the kids to line up and prepare to move from the grocery store to the next merchant. Can you tell all of these 3-4 year olds are now in school?? I asked them to line up and they did! The younger siblings weren't as cooperative, but still had a nice time.
