Eggs

Image
By
Each year we do an Easter Egg hunt. Usually, though, we do an egg hunt with our plastic eggs filled with items that represent a part of the Easter Story. Then, I number the eggs and we read the scriptures that correspond with each egg.

This year, however, we were invited to participate in an egg hunt on the Saturday before Easter with our friends. So, I made hard boiled eggs and the children painted them because I don't do the dyeing thing.


I don't know which activity they enjoyed more, the painting or the hunting. I only made two eggs for each of the children, and every one of them asked for more when they were done painting their two. Kate even painted her's twice!

I didn't have the presence of mind to take pictures while Kate and Adam were painting their eggs so I only have pictures of Eliza and Andrew. And, for some reason I couldn't find Adam very well during the hunt. Oh well, next year I'll get pictures of "our" egg hunt.

Looks like so much fun! Though I would love to know what you put in your Easter Story eggs. We tried making Easter more meaningful this year but MaKell is still not getting the idea.

I always seem to take more pictures of one kid than another when I'm snapping photos. I always have to end up using some of one kids photos (with the other in the background) for the one I forgot to snap. It's what happens when you have more than two of them running around. (So what's my excuse?) Looks like they had fun though. I like the painting eggs idea, I hate dying eggs too. Maybe I'll try it next year.

The painting eggs idea is so fun. We totally dyed eggs. In fact, Adam fell asleep while dying the eggs. That is how much we love it. I didn't get very many easter pics this year either. Oh well! The digital paper pack is darling.

Blogiversary

By
Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

By
(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
