Twas the day before Easter...

... and we woke up in Houston.  Peter headed to Montgomery Saturday morning to help his mom get some things done.  We got ready to go to an egg hunt at Hosanna.  Our kids were each in a different age group and there were not that many kids altogether. To say the least, they came home with quite a load of candy.

 

It was a great egg hunt and a good start to the day.  It is so nice at my parents house because the kids can run in and out and ride bikes and not need someone to stand in the street to run interference for traffic. They love it and so do I.  Campbell mastered the 2 wheel bike this weekend. She loves it! She was close over spring break, but this past weekend, she totally got it. Now, how do we get Conleigh to be willing to try?

 That night after everyone was in bed, I got to work on a craft I've completely procrastinated on getting done.  The story of my crafty life. I buy all the supplies and then don't do the project. I had taken all of these supplies to Houston back during spring break and didn't do it, so I packed it up and took it there again. 

Here are the supplies:

Styrofoam cone.  I've had this in a cabinet.  I painted it long ago for another project that 

never came to be.

Styrofoam eggs from the Dollar Tree. I had 3 dozen and used all but a couple.

I also used some moss from Dollar Tree and my rarely used glue gun.

Here is my cute Easter egg tree.

 

It is so cute. I think I was the most impressed at the lunch table on Easter, but I really like it. I found it on another blog, but I do not know where.

On Easter morning, the kids woke up at 6:30 because Alex fell out of bed and hit his face on the bedside table. Plus, he fell right onto Conleigh who was sleeping on the floor beside him. They didn't even think about looking to see if the bunny came to the grandparents house. I had made each of them a little photo album of some pictures from Disney. They were happy with that. While Alex and I were looking at his, I nonchalantly wondered out loud about the Easter bunny. He looked out the window and saw an egg.  Instantly he was telling his sisters, and they all took off outside to collect the loot.

Good stuff. More Easter pictures tomorrow.
