Happy Easter

I hope everyone had as Happy an Easter as we did! We started off by going to church and afterwards had an egg hunt at church.


We got a couple pictures all dressed up. I am so using this for my#3 of 52 weeks post for Forever In Blue Jeans because let's face it, it takes work to get a picture of mommy each week. And yes, my kiddos are going to be horror stricken when they are grown and look back at pictures from Easters past because yes indeed that is in fact a boobie about to pop out of the dress (of course daddy didn't tell mommy, because he liked it too much!).

After church Granny, Papa, Aunt Britt, and Cody came over. We dyed Eggs, went on an egg hunt (the kiddos even got a chance to hide the eggs once), played the fun games from the Easter Basket, and had a wonderful dinner!

In our baskets we got a new Bible to share, a set of 4 mommy made bean bags, and mommy a made game, and 5 eggs with some candy.

The games are from and idea inspired from Mind Games. I took a shower curtain liner ($2) and cut it in half. Then I traced circles with a bowl (just bigger than a cd). For Aidman's I wrote an alphabet letter in each, there were 55 circles so upper and lower of each plus extra lower of a, e, i. For Lyssy's I wrote a number in each, 0-9. This game can be played like twister, or with bean bags tossed on the letters/numbers, or my jumping on them. I like it because the difficulty can be increased with the progress of the child. Right now we are working on recognition, later we can use it to spell words or do addition/subtraction/multiplication (actually, today Aidman tossed a bean bag on each letter of his name in order, so he's already using it for spelling).
