egg hunt

 

 

 

 

lego's

 

that light up...pretty cool in his book

the bunny visited....

she found her's by accident, inside the dryer under my sweater...
surprised she found her's first since she never looks in the dryer....

her basket was tucked inside the egg chair and she was pretty excited to have found it...

it didn't take her too long to discover her basket under all the blankets the daycare kids use

inside the reading nook was where his basket was...he was quiet proud of himself for finding it all by himself.

he had to wait until after church to find his basket apparently hiding it behind the tv was just a tough one this year.

coloring eggs...

 

 

 

 

 

boiling eggs...

in the oven?
why did I not know about this years ago????
350 degrees 28 minutes and hard cooked eggs
simple...oh I love simple.
found this idea on Pinterest!

 

Nature Box

first discovered this when a friend on facebook like their page...

Easter treats....

 

a bit of crafting happened the night before the kids' last day of school before easter break...
these went out the door the next morning for teachers and important people in my kids life.

happy mail....

with a happy message included...

finding spring...

when the calendar says it's spring and the view outside your window still looks way too much like winter it becomes my mission to find spring...and this year I found spring at walmart.
These plants just called to me and soon one made it's way into my cart, the kids have enjoyed watching the tulips bloom, and the little burst of color has certainly perked up my days...

Merry go round ...
