Easter Fun 2012

The Easter Bunny came to our house a day early.  All the kids are leaving early in the morning & I have to work tonight so we celebrated Easter one day early.

The Easter Bunny left lots of goodies

Haylee traded her other candy and ended up with all the chocolate bunnies

The kids helped Bobby clean up the yard.  They worked hard to move all the old lumber out of the yard.

After getting the yard cleaned up we filled it with Easter Eggs for the kids to hunt.

Good Friday

Today we are starting our Easter Celebration at the house. I fixed the kids some special deviled eggs for supper. I found the idea on here on Pinterest.  They were VERY easy to make & the kids are dying to eat them...but they will have to wait until supper time.

Here is how I made them.  I boiled 18 eggs for 15 minutes.  Then I drained the hot water & let them sit in cold water for about 20 minutes until they were good and cold.  Then I cut the eggs in half & removed the yolk.  I filled glasses half full of water & added food coloring to get the desired colors I wanted.  I let the eggs soak in the glasses for one hour.

Then I took the eggs out & laid them on a paper towel to dry completely.

While the eggs were drying I missed the yolks to create the filling.  I used miracle whip until they were mixed to my taste. Then I separated them into two separate bowls; one with pickles & one without. 

Once the eggs were completely dry I added the filling.

The kids have already stated what color eggs they are eating for supper.

We have other surprises for the kids this weekend.  We will be dying eggs, hunting eggs & maybe, just maybe the Easter Bunny will make an early appearance at our house.  

What are your Easter plans?

Easter Weekend

Friday was Spencer's Easter egg hunt at school.  This was the first year Morgan didn't get to hunt eggs at school :(  My little girl is growing up & I do not like it.  She did get to hide eggs for Spencer's class, so that made her excited.

Ready...Set...GO...

The Easter Bunny came to the house...this is what was waiting for the kids when we got home Sunday.

The kids went to stay with their daddy Sunday night.  We had another night of storms.  It seems like it has stormed every night for the last week.  Here is my letter to the storms:

Dear storms,
You are interfering with my sleep a lot here lately. I don't like being woke up by thunder & lightening. I don't like you at all, but if you must come around I would prefer it be during the day.
Sincerely, me

2 weeks from today is FINALS!!!!!!!!!  Still got lots of things to do.  I think I need to make a checklist so I don't forget anything...LOL
 
Morgan had dance & gymnastics this afternoon.  Today was picture day.

After dance we went to eat supper with Missy & her girls at Pizza Hut.  After we got finished eating Missy & I were talking...this is what the girls decided to do with their time.  They were practicing their dance.  Miss Jessica would be VERY PROUD :)

Hopefully the storms will stay away tonight :0  Spencer is suppose to have a ballgame tomorrow night...we will see if the rain holds off or not.
