Dying The Eggs

We unfortunately had to miss our city's annual Easter Egg Hunt this year. Kate was pretty heartbroken, but Jason and I thought it was best to keep our two kids (one of which was throwing up, the other had croup) home away from other kids! I had decided that we could go to another egg hunt later in the week, since there are so many going on around town, but Kate has been sick ALL week, so we'll have to settle for a private hunt in our backyard.

In order to mend Kate's broken little heart, we decided to dye our eggs this last weekend. The kids had a blast. I was surprised at how little dye ended up on their hands and shirts!

Blake was really cute, trying hard to be soft with the eggs, but inevitably ended up dropping them pretty hard into the cups, causing quite a few cracked eggs!

Kate was pretty disgusted once we cracked an egg open and she caught a whiff of it!

Blake concentrating hard to get the sticker right where he wants it!

Showing off their favorite eggs, Kate's of course, was pink.

Fancy Nancy/Dino Party

Our library recently hosted a Fancy Nancy party for little girls and a Dinosaur party for little boys. Kate was super excited, she's been into Fancy Nancy since Grandma Brown sent her a Fancy Nancy book for Halloween!

The event started out with a tea party, including fruit juice in princess cups and bread cut into flower shapes topped with nutella or strawberry cream cheese. Kate went straight for the chocolate!

Next, they were read a Fancy Nancy story by a dance instructor from a local dance studio.

Then they learned a few moves themselves!

The party wrapped up with crafts (pipe cleaner rings, and tinsel head bands) and of course some dress up in FANCY clothes! Kate was in heaven!

The dino party was held in a room right next door...

They had pb and nutella sandwiches in the shapes of dinosaurs, and juice in a dino cup.

A dinosaur dig, and lots of other cute crafts and hands on items that Blake was somehow less than interested in, too young I guess.

In the end Blake made his way to all the pretty ladies, and enjoyed sitting right in the middle of all of them!
