Easter

The lineup

How cruel did they think the Easter bunny was...or maybe they just wanted to do some dumpster diving

Trace perusing his empty plastic eggs - he ate as he went

Ty couldn't wait to be the one to swing the pinata. He loved his precarious perch..

Tian and Abbie carefully passing the egg. Tian and Abbie hit it off right away. They have agreed to email and even played tic tac toe ( well tic tac toe for 3 year olds) As we were leaving Abbie said, "Thanks for your friendship." They were meant to be friends

A new and improved hat...well at least it is different

Trace is ready to fill his basket

We are set to close on Lot 5 this week - Hurray!! We hope to sell a few more before the year is out. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

We had a fun Easter. Our good friends, the Germaines, invited us to join them for an egg hunt and dinner. It was wild and wonderful! They even provided an Easter pinata. Trace thought that was great - well anything involving baseball equipment is great in his book. As soon as Corwin got the blindfold on Tian, she started swinging. She couldn't wait for the fun. Luckily he still has both eyes and his teeth.

The older boys got in on the fun and managed to search wildly for some hidden eggs just for them. Tian and Trace joined the Ritzman kids and filled their baskets to the brim. Trace was a pro and emptied each egg as he found it. I am a little worried about his expertise at taking "jelly bean shots"...

Dyeing the eggs was such a hair-raising experience I think we missed taking any pics... Somehow our carpet is still off white ( what was I thinking?!?!?) , the counters are a little stained and Trace's lips will be blue forever. Actually, he just has two blue dots reminiscent of Star Wars' Queen Amadala. He thought that the little dye pellet might be yummy and tried a taste. He doesn't recommend it. In fact the experience was worthy of a full sentence, " That's very yucky." Trace is very thrifty with his words
