we had a great easter weekend. but, didn't take as many pictures as i would have liked. oh well!
we have been having little egg hunts all month long to entertain the boys. so when i heard iona (my little town) holds an easter egg hunt i thought it would be great to take the boys. we have never been to a "real" egg hunt before so i thought we should try it at least once. kevin had to work saturday so i was on my own.
we arrived at the egg hunt just as they were getting started so i ran the boys in as fast as a could. owen was beside himself at all the egg and all the kids frantically grabbing that he didn't even manage to pick a single egg up. i was helping wesley and we did get one egg picked up which held a coupon. and then...it was over.
i was sick, owen was UPSET, and wesley was bored! i think we do much better just doing family egg hunts. no offense to anyone! we just don't have it in us.
we went straight to my mom's house and she made it all better by hiding eggs for the boys. and they really enjoyed their hunt.
that afternoon, once kevin was home, we painted our eggs. last year we dyed them and owen did not enjoy that process at all so when i found a paint kit i thought we could try that. we all enjoyed painting our eggs.
owen always favoring blue

kevin getting all creative.
owen and wesley. we only had one paint brush so we had to take turns. the boys were so cute as they waited. they kept telling each other "good job! good job!"

My kids love dying, but I think painting some would be fun too. I'll have to watch out for that kind of kit next year.
Oh how fun!!! I'm sorry your easter egg hunt didn't go so well. We definitely enjoy the family hunts more too!
Painting eggs is a good idea. We did the same thing except I bought some special q-tips that had dye in them. Next year we'll just paint them! It would be a lot easier!
You're such a fun mom! BTW, I'm in love with Owen's green dinosaur shirt. And dino pj's. They don't make clothes with dinosaurs on them for adults.
