This morning Mason and Carissa had fun in our neighborhood visiting with their friends, checking out the Easter Bunny and hunting for some yummy Candy Filled Eggs. This was the first Year that no one was afraid of the bunny and the kids had a great time...They had some fun prizes at the end...Mason of course picked a foam sword and Carissa picked a cute stuffed bunny rabbit that she named: Mr. Rabbit. Can't wait for a nice Easter morning with the family tomorrow!!!
This morning we got a chance to take some pretty pictures down by our neighborhood pond while waiting for the Annual Easter Egg hunt to begin. My kids always love visiting the pond and we were happy to get out for a little bit while the rain stopped. Happy Easter 2011!!!
This past Friday it was raining pretty hard but we still had lots of fun with our friends: Ford, Sydney and Kenneth at the Winget Rec Center Easter Egg Hunt. They had some cute art projects, games and a fun egg hunt to partake it.....Mason really just couldn't wait to find eggs. Funny enough both kids wanted to open each egg as they went along instead of collecting a bunch and then opening them all:) This was a really fun time and so glad we got to spend a day of spring break with some good friends of ours....we then headed to McDonalds for some lunch afterwards:)
This year the kids had a blast picking strawberries with their friends and hunting for bugs amongst the patches.....Mason did great finding the nice red strawberries until he spotted his first yellow ladybug then from there on his mission was to find as many bugs as possible hiding in the plants. Carissa loved finding berries until she too discovered that they were better to eat and so our 2nd round of picking consisted of nothing but green stems in our basket:) They had such fun and we hope to maybe get in another round of picking but since the crops were damaged from the hail storm the day of Mason's 5th Birthday Party...the picking may not be here long!!!
This morning the kids and I set out to color some easter eggs....and it wouldn't quite be that time of year without me calling GaGa for the hundredth time to figure out how to boil an egg...I should remember or could just right it down but then how would I otherwise make her feel needed:)!!! Then Cari and I forgot the white vinegar so off to the store we went....got home just in time for the eggs to cool and to mix up all the colors.....man do all those tablets look the same...hard to tell which need just water and what colors needed the vinegar but Geez....just some eggs and I am sure my kids will triple dip and turn them all brown anyways so what did it really matter:)
Mason and Carissa were lucky enough this year to have some fun pictures taken with some real bunnies. The kids were so excited to take pictures with them by our neighborhood pond and they did pretty well holding these fluffy little bunnies. Looking forward to celebrating Easter and relaxing during spring break!!!
