Easter Recap

Here's a quick recap of Easter.  As a reminder to myself since I'm a little behind, Easter was on April 8th this year.

We started the weekend off by decorating some Easter eggs.

First round of dipping into the colors resulted in pretty pastel colored eggs.

But then they wanted to keep dipping....

and dipping.....

and dipping....

Until our pretty pastel eggs turned into not so pretty green eggs.  :-)

Later in the afternoon we had an Easter egg hunt in the yard.

 

Will helped his little bro' out by making sure he had an equal number of eggs in his basket.

We had bought Will this hat but Jack decided he liked it more and took it as his own.  He loves this hat because Judu has the same hat.  

Easter morning the boys woke up and went on the hunt for their baskets.  

Jack hammed it up for the camera again only this time he wore Judu's hat.

Then we had a nice Easter brunch and snapped a few pictures after the meal.

My Little Jack

"The wildest colts make the best horses." -Plutarch, Greek Essayist (46-120 A.D.)

The next time your child acts like a bucking bronco, be encouraged that his spirit is strong. That’s a good thing. He will be less likely to follow the crowd or to get lost in the shuffle. Be heartened that he will make waves in this world instead of drowning in anonymity. I’m a firm believer that being strong-willed is not a bad thing. It takes a pretty strong will to make it in this world. Trust me. If you want your child to grow up and be a leader, a person of influence, you want her to be strong-willed.

Cookie Order

I just finished my first official cookie order.  I made cookies for a bridal shower for one of my friends brother.  While fun to make, these darn things took me 5 nights..and I don't even know how many hours.  But I was happy with the results and we'll see if this means there will be more cookie making in my future.
