Egg-cellent Weekend

Either there is noithing exciting going on during the week, or we're too busy blog about it.
Here's another weekend round up from our home to yours.

Friday-  I decided to be crafty on my day off of school & make an Easter Topiary.
After dinner the kids and I made Hidden Surprise Easter Egg Treats. These were lots of fun!  They were excited to give Dad one Saturday morning.  When you shake them, you can hear candies rattle around.
In the evening the kiddos go out old plastic easter eggs, and started playing with them.  On this night, they were spinning them on the tile floor to see if one would crash into the other.  They had a blast!


Saturday-  We went to Griffin's Soccer game.  It was windy, cool, and sprinkled a little.
The kids spent the day playing with their plastic eggs.  They did egg hunts around the house many times over.  They had some very clever hidding places.  They even hid them for us.  They got really excited when we were hunting for the eggs.  Later in the evening they started working on their Egg city in the boys room.  Complete with stores and a pool for the eggs, and even a basket elevator.  They used stuff from our recycle bin to make most of the city.


Sunday- We went to Church.  Later in the afternoon I had a Scout meeting.  While I was gone Griffin worked on his Jupiter ptoject.  After I got back it was time for a family movie night.  We bought the newest Narnia movie, Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  We love the Narnia books and movies, so we were all excited to see this one.  I made popcorn and chocolate chip cookies to enjoy with the movie.  After the movie the boys broke out their balloon animal kits they had bought.  We had a fun time learning how to make balloon animals.  Turns out Patrick has a secret talent.  Dogs and Giraffes were the hit!


We hope you had a great weekend too!
