Bingo dobbers for N:
Art Projects
She picked cherry blossoms from the ground outside and then glued them to a tree I drew. I still don't understand why she glued them all to the trunk of it rather than the branches?! I even showed her a tree outside with blossoms on it but she had to do it her own way. :)

Sponge painted bunnies
Used a bath sponge to paint an Easter egg. She loved mixing the colors all up!

In the Kitchen
Birds Nests
We crushed up shredded wheat biscuits and then mixed them with melted chocolate & peanut butter. Then added Whopper eggs in the nests.

Bunny rabbit pancakes
Easter S'mores!
Mmmm, they were tasty but oh so very sweet!
Easter Activities
The neighborhood had an Easter egg hunt so we attended since the weather decided to be nice and hold off on the rain. The kids are SO fast at getting those eggs, I think it lasted all of 10-15 minutes for 3 yards worth of eggs.


And of course we had to dye eggs! Actually this year we did 2 rounds of it, 1 at home and 1 at Uncle Chad's house. Megan was very patient in waiting for them to be done but she was very impatient always wanting to check on the color every 5 seconds.

These are at home:



At Chad & Rachel's:



Apparently there was a raw one in there?!

So pretty!
