Eggsellent Easter preparation

We've learned over the last two years that when a child enters school her world suddenly changes into a perpetual countdown to the next holiday. Perhaps this would have happened before school but I'm not much of a holiday person. I go crazy over birthdays but can barely muster the energy to put a Christmas wreath on the door. Fortunately, the kids have grandparents, great-grandparents and aunts who keep the holiday ball rolling in our house.

After using a ream of paper to make Easter drawings, comparing loot from school Easter parties, and counting the days until Easter for the last two weeks, we finally got to the real work of Easter: egg dyeing. This year Grandma and Grandpa sent us a kit. It was full of stickers and glitter pens and all things fun for dyeing Easter eggs. They were our project yesterday.
Of course, they all loved it. And I even got to play too! I was responsible for the boys' eggs since Mark was at work and the boys were napping.Today was sugar cookie day. We made Easter cookies to take along with us to Arizona tomorrow. We are going to have some cousin fun, if only for 24 hours. Happy Easter to all and from me, good night!
