Easter

I figured that the girls would come running downstairs in search of Easter eggs but somehow the living room littered with eggs didn't even spark the memory that it was Easter. We cuddled in bed for a while then ate a leisurely breakfast when I started dropping hints about Easter. Kaitlyn said she couldn't remember when Easter was and I told her that it was Easter morning. She looked into the living room and said "I see something fishy out there, what is that red thing on the piano". Once they figured it out the hunt was on. I'm also a slacker and I did things a little backwards this year. Later that day we finally got around to decorating some eggs. I didn't want to deal with the mess and stains of egg dye so I wanted to try something new. I let the kids (the parents ended up joining in too) color on the hot eggs with crayons which melts the crayons so it is like painting. The experience ended up lasting a lot longer and we got some great works of art.
