The kids had a good time coloring Easter eggs in preparation for the big day. Abby created a fun game to play with the finished eggs...a contest to see who could keep their egg in one piece for a whole week. They kept them in their rooms and were allowed to play with them as much as they wanted. The winner would be awarded a box of 'Peeps.' Needless to say, most of the eggs didn't last too long. (Thankfully they were broken within the first 24 hours...not too stinky.) Spencer's met it's demise first during a dispute with his sister. (I love natural consequences!) Heather's was the next to go during a game of catch with Lizzy. Abby took really good care of her eggie. She made it a soft bed, carried it around in a pouch she made with a hankie. She earned those Peeps!
Grandma and PapPap came for a short visit. Sheldon, Spencer and PapPap were eager to break out the fishing poles for opening day. They each caught 5 good sized brown trout. (Sheldon forgot to take pictures of the big catch!) Grandma brought a cool assortment of seeds to share with us. Some really crazy varieties of pumpkins and gourds. They also brought us a BUNCH of fresh eggs. Yum!
