Easter

Family Easter Party

The Family Easter party at Aunt Eileen's ranch was amazing. Kids had fun, adults had more fun. We ate too much of really good food and consumed even more candy. Great memories!

Here is the entire group

It was a challenge to walk through the tall grass. Ethan did a better job at finding the eggs that I did! Maybe because he was closer to the ground and could see them better. He was very excited!

The kids scoured the field looking for every last egg. They wanted to make sure we didn't leave any behind.

And when they discovered all the candy inside, it was like little kid heaven!

We played a few games.

destroyed a pinata and had a whole lot of fun!

Easter Egg Dying

It is amazing how messy a simple project can be. Luckily we were prepared and stripped down the kids before we even started. It was a good thing to, because there were plenty of spills.

But of course, the kids loved it.

School Time

Sorting biggest to smallest. We used these before when we learned about N for nest. (yes, Ellie is dressed like a fairy. We had the dress up clothes out for the week, so there was a lot of costumes and pretend playing going on.)

Patterns (you can tell by Ethan's face that he didn't quite get the concept yet.)

Numbers (Brielle liked this, but it would have been fun if it was more of a puzzle. All the cut outs were the same. It would be fun to re-create making it a self-correcting game that you have to match the right number to have egg fit together.)

'Eggsercise' scavenger hunt. We used these action cards. (Each egg had a paper inside with an action to do like a bunny. Hop, wiggle your nose, munch a carrot, etc. )
