Just A Little Bit More Easter...










We usually have an Easter Egg hunt for my grandaughters every year...and yes they're not little bitty girls anymore...but if I would still like to go hunting for eggs...and I would...I think that just maybe they will too. (I did ask Jennifer if they still wanted to...just to be sure :) ) Anyway,
last week's egg hunt was cancelled because of several things...so the annual egg hunt will be this Sunday in my backyard. Let's hope that we don't have tornadoes, 100 degree heat or snow on that day. Let's face it...we live in the Chicago area...and in April we could any of those or several other mixed versions of weather. Here are three photos of one chilly Easter egg hunt about two years ago: One shows you what the well dressed egg hunter (Andrea) wears in the snow. Another shows a wooden Easter Bunny on a sled in the middle of the yard full of snow. And one more shows me...uh...gracefully hanging eggs on the crabapple tree in my backyard. I was trying not to make too many footprints in the fresh snow. (Didn't want to ruin the photo opportunities)

Coloring Eggs...and Other Easter Stuff...


We're waiting for the doctor to call back...Jim is allergic to the meds he was given. You know how long it takes for anyone to call back from a doctor's office while you're waiting? It feels like forever. So while I'm not-so-patiently waiting....I'm going to color Easter Eggs. (I've already cleaned the bathrooms and the kitchen floor...I've got a little nervous energy.)

Coloring eggs has lost some of it's appeal to me with no little kids to help...but I like the bright colors...it's a fun mess to make...and I can always make egg salad out of the result.
