Can pictures go bad?

We know the eggs did.  As I am throwing away the eggs my boys and I decorated for the Easter Bunny it occurred to me that I never posted about Easter (oops)

So here goes.....

 Happy Belated Easter!

The boys and I dyed some eggs the way we did when I was a kid.  Good ole PAAS die kits, stinky vinegar, and a white crayon. Now they even come with egg shaped color coordinated plastic cups.  I know not crafty enough but way fun.


They boys made sure that they each got to decorate eggs and complained when the other got to dye more.  That's the difference between Bug (who is a little OCD) and Bear (whose a little ADD) oh well.

They did this one for Nana and Nonno with whom we spend Easter dinner with.

Dinner was lovely.  There was tons of food, no electronics and well behaved boys.  Say it with me "ahhhh"

Anywhoo getting ahead of myself again.
Back to dying

Bear loved the crayon and made one "O for Oliber" after another.  I love the way they came out:


Not to be outdone Bug decided to show me how well he can now write a P in cursive!


The boys had a blast and showed off all there dying skills:




At 7pm on good Friday Bug informed me that the Easter Bunny refills our baskets, looks at our pretty eggs, eats a carrot and then hides PLASTIC eggs filled with candy. 

At 745 on Good Friday this mama was at Hanniford's buying the last bag of plastic eggs and Robin's Eggs to fill them with.

All in all it was a great Easter.
And keeping with my theme of being a "Regular Catholic"  we didn't go to church.  (oopsie)

Hope everyone had a lovely holiday whether you celebrated Easter, Passover, nothing or your thing
