Happy Easter 2015

Not an Easter Picture, but we had a fun week on spring break.  We went to SkyZone Trampoline Park with our best friends, Jack, Charlie, and Andy.  

Reading about the resurrection eggs

Very excited to hunt some eggs!!

Luke and Finn hunting for eggs.  We did one hunt indoors and then another one outside (all before 8:00 am).

Finn figured out what to do pretty quickly

It was chilly outside!

Finn LOVED the jelly beans

Easter 2015

Walking into church

We had a fun-filled week with Spring Break and Easter.  Luke and Liam were off school all week so we did lots of fun things and enjoyed not having to do homework and get ready for school each morning.  We went swimming, went on a trip to SkyZone with our friends, played a pick up hockey game, went to a movie, and enjoyed some of our favorite restaurants.  I can't say the weather was all that spring-like.  It wasn't snowing so that's a bonus, but it wasn't exactly park weather either.  We had a day or two of somewhat warmer temps, but mostly it was cold and often quite windy.  Luke asked me if they had another break before summer so I think that is a good sign that they had a fun week!

Our week was topped off with a very nice Easter.  The boys were super excited about finding the eggs and eating any and all candy they could manage to get into their mouths as quickly as possible.  Finn caught on very quickly and loved the jelly beans although I am sure he would have eaten anything we gave him.  He went crazy over the candy!

My pictures above would normally include several pictures of us dying eggs.  I do have pictures to prove we attempted to dye eggs, but I don't have any actual eggs.  We tried something a little different this year.  Aiden has an egg allergy and last year he had an allergic reaction while handling some of the eggs we were dying and decorating.  So, we attempted to use some "egg alternatives" that Target makes, but they were a total flop.  They are made for decorating and dying, but they would not hold the dye color at all and they floated so it was tricky to get them under water.  On the bright side, you could decorate them, drop them, or whatever you please since they didn't crack or break easily.  I am, however, a little bitter at Target for selling these "eggs" that really didn't work at all.  I will have a new plan for next year and may have to test it out in advance this time.
