Easter
April 4, 2010
For Easter this year we headed out to my parents house. As usual we waited until after Ian's nap to commence in the Easter activities. Ian loved looking for the Easter egg's hidden around the house and was happy to find a basket full of play-doh toys.
After a snack for lunch and just before naptime we colored Easter Eggs. It was not exactly the best activity with a very independent boy but we still had fun. He loved putting the eggs in the bowls, trying to help stir, and putting stickers everywhere. We later discovered that crayons color on egg shells really well, so we had fun coloring pictures too.
Ian trying to be patient and let mommy help him.
Ian helping dunk the eggs. He looks like he is being soft but he just drops it from there and stirs a little too fast.
Ian putting the stickers on his nose.
Another Easter tradition is we each have a color of yarn and another person strings it all over the house. At the end of the string is your Easter gift. I am not sure why we still do this we are not exactly loving -we tend to try and make the path as difficult to accomplish as possible. This year we did not even do gifts at the end of the string because we put them out with Ian's. Ian however loved running through the string. He would go over it, then under it, and occasionally try and run straight through it. I am sure we'll do it again next year!
