Spring

I love spring. It has been so nice to get out of the house and enjoy the lovely weather. Last week we ventured out into the yard for the first time this season. Dad mowed the lawn, I raked up the grass, and Ellie moaned while she sat on a blanket close by. She just wanted to be more involved. She finally settled down for a bit when I gave her a rake, . She should enjoy her blanket while she still can. Soon enough we'll be using those little fingers as weed pickers in the flower beds.

With spring also comes Easter. I don't know why, but I love to dye eggs for Easter. I love to search the internet for new and fun ways to decorate them. Yesterday BriAnn and Isaac came over for the day and we colored some eggs in the afternoon. Dad got home a little early from school so he became the baby sitter

Our pretty Eggs
Daddy being a great sitter. His hitch hiker thumbs made for great pacifiers.
A cute idea I remember doing a hundred years ago with egg shells

    That looks so cute and fun! And I love Ellie's pants on her head! :) She's going to start a new trend!

    The egg shell bouquet is very cute, I might have to steal that idea :) How did you color the rice? Ellie is getting so big I love her pigtails!

    Megan, I just used the left over egg dye and dumped it in an empty baby food jar and shook it up then emptied it in on a paper towel to dry. I used straws for the stems, but I have seen them done with wire and it was really cute too.

    On a side note, I don't know if you have heard, but Tom Waldron is retiring after our June concert. There is going to be a big party/reception for him after that concert and you are invited. LeAnna said all past members are welcome to come and give appreciation to him. The concert is June 10th if you didn't know. LeAnna will be the new conductor and we are getting a new associate conductor.
