Easter 2013

 Adam and Riley had a campout Friday night, so Elli and Amy got to go shopping with me.  They each picked out an outfit within the budget and were so excited to wear them on Easter Sunday.  They sure aren't little girls anymore!  Gosh!  Oh, and Elli got glasses a few weeks ago.  She and Amy look very similar from a distance.
 Trying to get a picture of Adam is worse than pulling teeth!  He is so afraid of the camera.  So here is his blur.  You can kind of see his face, but he had already changed out of his church clothes.

Coloring Eggs


After church while the boys took naps, the girls colored eggs.  Amy and I were in a hurry at the store when we bought the dye and it turns out it was not the dip kind, but the dab and color kind.  It was different, but fun.
 Elli didn't mind getting messy.  She rubbed and swirled and mixed.  She tried about 7 different styles.  I think I like this one the best.
 She could have done more if I had boiled more eggs.  I need to keep her creating, she is pretty good!
 It was fun to sit and relax and take our minds off of work and school.  More art, more art!

Amy's Eggs

Amy did not want to look at any pictures for ideas.  
She knew what she wanted to do.  She colored 3 eggs and was done. 
 She worked fast and clean and even ate one that cracked.
 These are actually Elli's eggs, but I think they both had fun!
