Church Egg Hunt

One of my favorite things about spring is the Easter Egg Hunt. Every year our church hosts an Easter Egg hunt. Last year it was cancelled due to rain, this year the weather was PERFECT. Everyone enjoys lunch and games before the hunt. This year it was pizza and lots of goodies. I made some basket cupcakes that I found on Pinterest. Madison cracked me up because the girl has such a sweet tooth. She figured out there was candy in some of the eggs, so she would crack them open shove the candy in mouth and move on. She did this until her mouth was stuffed full of candy. Logan on the other hand was interested in the whistle, so we always knew where he was.

Bunny Lunch

It has been a tradition the past few years to attend the Lunch with the Easter Bunny. The kids enjoy crafts, face painting and an Easter egg hunt along with lunch. At least this year it wasn't raining, even if it was a tad bit cold. 

The 4 and 5 year olds were serious about their egg hunting

Wordless Wednesday- You've got to wonder what she is thinking!

Egg Coloring Take Two

Of course Logan would not be left out of the egg dying, so the following weekend, I did it with him. He was so funny because he kept saying that he didn't remember how to do it. Well it must be like riding a bike because he caught on quickly! We had a busy day, filled with the Bunny lunch, seeing the movie The Lorax, and dying eggs.

Also I would like for everyone to keep Logan in your prayers. He had another seizure a few weeks ago. They think they have discovered the problem and are now treating it. He has some follow up appointments in a few weeks to see if everything is working properly. We are relieved to have a diagnosis but the future is still unclear.

Thank you for entering my 300th post giveaway, I wish I could give all of you a gift card, but my teacher budget doesn't really allow for that. So, the winner is comment #4 Sara! I am so happy for Sara,as she has had a rough Easter weekend with two sick little ones. Maybe this will bring a little sunshine your way. Sara, I will get in touch with you so I can send your gift card to you.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend, I have enjoyed reading a lot of the holiday posts. Our weekend was busy but good, I will slowly be recapping it. I wanted to start the Easter posts with Madison dying Easter eggs. We did this a few weeks before Easter and Madison had so much fun. This was her first year to do eggs and she did so well. Thanks to Pinterest for the wonderful idea of using the wire wish to dip the eggs in.

Happy Easter

My little bunnies would like to wish you a Happy Easter! Enjoy all the fun things this weekend brings as well as remembering the true meaning of the joyous season.

300th Post Celebration and Character Visit

Wow this is my 300th post. I would have never believed when I started this blog 3 years ago that I would meet so many wonderful friends and have so much fun. In honor is this event, I am going to host a giveaway.  Up for grabs is a Subway gift card. Since I can't have lunch with each one of you (which I would love), you can have lunch on me! All you need to do is leave a comment on this post and I will select a winner on Monday, April 9th.

Now for the character event. I heard about this event last year but didn't get to go. When I heard it was happening this year, I knew I had to score some tickets for Madison and I to go. Well it was a total blessing, that the church was giving away 2 free tickets to the teachers in our school district. So we dug out the dress and headed to meet some Disney characters.  Madison was so excited in the days prior to the event that she kept calling me asking if I was taking her to see the princess. I am pretty sure she jumped from one car to the other when I went to pick her up. She was not afraid of any of the characters. The event was made even more special because a lot of the characters were co-workers or former students so they knew Madison by name and she thought that was so cool. I let her pick one special treat off the table where they were selling things and she chose the dollar wand.  So overall, the day cost me a dollar and the memories are priceless.
