Easter

Easter morning pose

We had breakfast at church Easter morning. It was a little crazy as Chelsea is not used to waiting until 9:00 to eat. She was very hungry and couldn't quite understand why she wasn't getting any food while we were waiting in line. Thinking since she was so hungry that she would eat anything I tried to feed her some eggs but of course she had eyes only for the coffee cake! How does she know so young what tastes that cake is better than eggs! In order that everyone else could enjoy their breakfast (without listening to a screaming child) I pretty much just let her eat whatever she wanted. Well, that and that fact that she was just way too cute to disagree with. (This has been one of our battles lately. She doesn't want to eat stuff that is good for you and she's a little young to understand my reasoning! For instance last night at supper I think she ate 4 french fries but wouldn't touch her green beans or egg salad!)

On one of our nice sunny days that we had last week we took our egg decorating outside. Casey and Audrey decoated eggs while I spent most of my time adding the tatoos. They aren't quite old enough to make eggs that are very detailed. Casey's favorite thing to do is to dump all the colors together and see how ugly of a color he can make! After dumping about 4 together he made a beautiful shade of gray! Chelsea was thrilled with the egg that the kids made for her as it had a puppy and kitty on it. After playing with it for about 2 minutes though it was broken and she had food coloring all over her hands. This was my confirmation that projects like this are best done when she is sleeping!
