Easter Part Three: The Holiday That Never Ends!

Because we were so busy with our egg hunt and splashing in the pool on Sunday, we didn't get a chance to color eggs or have our usual Easter dinner.  So, yesterday while Riley napped, Leighton and I had a chance to dye the  eggs.  I had boiled them the day before, so they were all ready to go.  The little kit I bought wasn't as good as the one we used last year (note to self, instead of spending $1 at the dollar store, splurge at Target or Michaels and go for the $3 kit instead!).  The magic crayon didn't work and the colors didn't want to stay on the eggs.  But we had fun, and that's what matters! 

After the eggs were finished, Leighton decided that they each represented a different part of 'space'.  The yellow was the sun, the green was Earth, the blue was the sky, and although I've heard him explain this about 10 times in the last day and a half, I will admit I am unsure of the three pink/purple ones.  I think he was just calling them 'space' ... but I could be completely wrong.  I have a vague recollection of another planet.  I will have to ask him tomorrow.  And I can already tell you how the conversation will go.  I will show him the picture and he will give a big sigh and repeat it to me in a tone that say,s "Don't you ever listen to me?"  A tone that he learned from me on such occasions when he has to ask me to repeat something I KNOW I've already told him a hundred million times already  :)

These beautiful eggies accompanied us to Douniazed's for a play date today.  We always end up there for lunch so I thought it was time I contribute.  And I knew Leighton was excited me to make the deviled egg chickies that I made last year at Easter.  I didn't get a picture of them today, but you can just trust me that they didn't look too different than these ones from last year!

While we were there today, the kids also had a chance to smash open some confetti Easter eggs that she had purchased for Sunday and got forgotten in the fun (and mojitos!). 

The clean up crew was extremely impressive.  I might say that they enjoyed the clean up more than the smashing!

And, finally, tonight, I made scalloped potatoes, ham, and green beans for dinner.  Mmmmmmmmmmm Easter!   

I think that about does it for this multi-event holiday, so I think I will just treat myself to a Mini Egg or two and call it a night!
