one of the fun things about easter is of course dying eggs and the easter egg hunting. we got a chance to do a little bit of both this week. we went over to our friends tonya and miss k's house to have some lunch and get the fun started. dying eggs with one 3 year old is fun....dying eggs with two 3 year olds is even more fun! they started off pretty good (we did this outside and put bathing suits on them), with each of them coloring 2 eggs at a time. little miss kept making blue ones and miss k just wouldnt leave hers in long enough. after about the first 6 eggs they started to loose interest and started to get a little silly. of course they didnt want to use a spoon to get the eggs out...they used their hands. then instead of using the spoon for getting the eggs out....they started drinking the dye. now its just vinegar and mostly some water and they dye is non toxic, but still....who wants to drink vinegar water? apparently they thought it was tasty...luckily we were able to put a stop to that pretty quickly and get them back on track, you know, just putting their hands in the colors. but that had fun and thats what matters most.
then on friday we had the easter bash! every easter the asymca (armed services ymca) puts on a shindig out at the barber's point stables that the kids love. not only do you get to hunt easter eggs and have lunch, but you get to ride some of the horses! sara did okay last year....after much coaxing. but this year she was ready to go! she has really been into horses this year so i think that helped. she got right up on that horse and was ready to go! his name was eragon and was very nice and gentle with the kids. she also got her face painted, and since we always seem to be talking about crocodiles and how they snap people when we pass any sorts of murky waters (there are crocodiles in there mama and they will snap you and eat you!)or even just pretending when we are on the couch....can you guess what she got painted.....yep. a crocodile.
