whobunny is ready for Easter?

  (the note that Lola wrote for the Easter Bunny...)

translation:from Lola to Easter Bunny... We are on vacation

Well...the Easter preparations have been underway at our house this week.... of course, we have been reading all of the Easter stories out of the children's Bibles...and discussing what Easter is really all about... BUT we have also been doing the kids' FAVORITE thing... coloring Easter eggs.  First I need to explain the note above. Lola wrote this and wants to tape it on our door...because we are going to Iowa City overnight for Easter, and she is worried that the Easter Bunny will not be able to find us.  My idea is to set out our baskets tonight (Friday) and maybe that bunny will come a day early! :)

So...I wanted to post the pictures from the kids coloring their eggs. They really LOVE to do this...and they actually like to eat the boiled eggs too (the whites anyway).  I first had Keaton and Lola color theirs while Crash...I mean Nash was napping.  THEN when he woke up...he had help...and wouldn't mess anyone else's up.  I tried the muffin tin for the dye (pinterest idea)...Not so crazy about it... couldn't tell which color was which...and not quite deep enough to get whole egg colored...

 look at Keaton's face....

and lastly...a picture from Lola to Grandpa and Grandma Tractor. 

It says.... from Lola to you guys...

Happy Easter!
