We had a busy, fun-filled Easter weekend here!
The fun started on Friday afternoon when we had a few friends over to help dye Easter eggs. It was a gorgeous day (highs close to 80!) and so we set up the egg dying station out in the backyard. We actually had bets as to how quickly it was going to turn disasterous and when the dye would start being spilled, knocked over, or drank. Much to our surprise all nine cups of dye remained upright and all five kids had a BLAST coloring eggs! They were upset that I hadn't hard boiled more! (Note to self: hard boil at least three dozen eggs next year, as this kept the children well occupied!)

And apparently after coloring eggs it makes five hungry children devour a five pound bowl of fruit in minutes!
Saturday morning Ken and I loaded the boys up in the car and headed to Ocean City for the day.
Sunday morning we woke up and the boys hunted for eggs around the house (no pictures...Mommy was still half asleep!) and checked out the loot in their baskets. Erik loved his Buzz Lightyear basket, while Nicholas was thrilled with his Star Wars basket. We quickly got ready and headed to church and then to Ken's parents for brunch and another egg hunt with their cousin. All the boys had fun and ended up with more loot! It was definitely a fun-filled weekend!

Looks like you all had such a good time!! We use those same red plastic cups when dying our eggs!!
Those peeps shirts are great! I love them. We dyed eggs outside too :)
Love the shirts! The boys are getting so big and even more adorable, amazingly.
Looks like you all had a blast! Love the egg hunt at the shore! So funny and might have to see if ours (Avalon & Seaisle) has anything going on. So neat!
Happy belated Easter!
