I See Your True Colors


I wasn't quite sure how coloring eggs was going to go with Lily this year. With her, you just never know if she's going to dive right in, sit back and watch, or get fussy about any part of it.

Last year, she turned 9 months on Easter Day and this year she's 20 months, so there's definitely a mix of laid back and toddler drama.

Turns out she did all 3. ;)  Of course.



As I said, we waited until Easter morning when Reagan came back home before coloring, so after breakfast and baskets and once our dessert was baking, it was time!

Lily is one funny little person and this year was definitely fun to watch!
Hmmmmmm....what to do first, Bubby.
{she literally says "hmmmm?" when she puts her hand on her face like this}

Most definitely there was some tasting involved this year too.


We tried using the wire whisk method this year to keep it easy for Lily and although she did use it, she also used her hand and the spoons as well. At one point, she picked up an egg and literally threw it in the dye. You know, since 20 month old toddlers are always gentle.  That created a lot of laughter in the older two.





She was wayyyyy too fascinated with the egg dyeing to stop for pictures. :)

Easter egg coloring success and I think Lily is a big fan too ! Can't wait 'til next year!

The House the Kids Built

One last Christmas post....I think. :)

The kids were excited to do gingerbread houses this year and I found a score at Costco! One kit that had a house and a toy shop...for...$3.97.  YES!  One for each of them and less than four bucks for the enjoyment!

They asked how long, I told them until next year.


 Let the frosting begin!




 Apparently True Blood visited...

Decorate the house, eat a little, decorate, eat, decorate, eat...

Happy Gingerbread Housing!
