Easter

I love this time of year. And I love Easter. On Saturday we have fun doing Easter Egg hunts and things, and then on Sunday we can focus totally on our Savior. Scott was gone from Friday morning to Sunday evening, but the kids and I were still able to have a good time.

David and his friend did the city's Easter Egg Hunt together and had a good time. David was very happy about getting the eggs and immediately opening them to eat the candy inside. We actually tried the one at the theater a half hour before where they said no bags or baskets allowed, just what you could put in your shirt or pockets, but we got there 3 minutes after and their age group was already done. Anyway, that's why we ended up using a detachable pocket from our single stroller, and his friend used a baseball mitt. Sydney and her friend soaking up the sun. It was a beautiful day!After that I took the kids home and David and I made these really cool bird's nests with eggs. I found this in the Special Occasion section of a craft book for kids. It's crushed frosted mini wheat's mixed in melted chocolate and then formed in a muffin pan(on foil). Then you just add the candy eggs and peeps too if you want! David LOVED this. Funny Story:

This week was our turn to teach Gospel Doctrine in church and since Scott was gone I'd be doing it by myself. I got some friends in class to hold Sydney and entertain her, but during the opening prayer I heard David crying in the back of the class. I guess the Nursery sub saw that I was teaching and started leaving, but I asked someone to chase her down to tell her that I could hold him if I needed to(apparently he'd been crying for 20 min. cause he didn't know any of the subs). So there I am teaching with a 2 yr old on my hip. After a while he'd get down to sit at the piano(which is electric and can be turned off thankfully) but then he'd want up again. It definitely kept me on my toes and the class seemed torn between amusement and feeling sorry for me, but it really was OK. I'm used to multi tasking!

Some people in our ward asked us over for Easter dinner which was great seeing as how Scott had just barely gotten back. Thank you!

We had wanted to dye eggs with David but never got to it so we did it this morning. A little late, but still very fun! We especially loved shrinking the plastic covers over them with the blow dryer. So cool! =D

And yes, David's favorite color seems to be pink!
