Egg Dyeing Time

A few nights before Easter, Skylar and Claudia stayed the night.  We had a fun evening of dyeing eggs.

After we had finished our egg activity, they decided it would be fun to mix all of the dyes and taste them.

Asa wasn't impressed.

Claudia wasn't impressed either but found it funny.

Trisha who really masterminded this plan really wasn't impressed.

Half of their finished creations.

And so every does not freak out about them drinking the dye, here is the method we chose to use. 

It smelled so much nicer than traditional methods and you just have to mix with water.

RIF Day at School

The kids were allowed to dress up as pirates and the story that was read to them was "Shiver Me Letters" A Pirate ABC" by June Sobel.  It is a very cute book and the kids really enjoyed it.

The kids then walked the plank on an adventure to find pirate treasure.

Here Asa is crossing over to the treasure chest to find his treasure!

Looking for what treasures they would like to take home.

Loving the Spring Weather

Mid-March and warm enough to go outside in our pajamas!  Can't believe I admitted that.  Asa is getting pretty good at peddling and I'm thinking he is definitely ready for a big boy bike!

Eli getting a little too brave and venturing out of the yard.  He did get in some trouble for this, as they are supposed to stay in the yard unless mom or dad are with them.  He was on his way back in these images.

Then we have my favorite visitors.  These feathered friends bring a serenity to my life.  It is hard to explain but they do me good.

RIF Family Night 2012

Asa's school had a family reading night, a perfect event for my book loving little men!

The theme this year was pirates!  Here they are making telescopes!

Next we headed over to the map making station, always a fun thing to do!

We then stopped by the game playing room.  Chris and Asa enjoyed a rousing game of UNO!

Then our last stop of the night was to make "Pirate Booty Snack Bags."

A super fun night for the family!

Kindergarten Info Night 2012

At last year's Kindergarten info night, they allowed the kid's to experience what getting lunch at school would be like.  The boy's enjoyed their meal as you can clearly see.

Critters

I love when I am able to feed the critters!
