Easter Eggs

Time to dye Easter eggs!

Reagan patiently waiting to begin
Writing with the invisible crayon
Cooper just dives right in!
Of course he needs to get the other hand yellow too!
Having too much fun!
Making sure the entire egg (and hand) gets colored
He dropped the egg in and it made a big splash!
Reagan waiting for her egg to turn pink
Cooper loves this activity


Not too happy when you take the dye away from him

How pitiful is he?
Reagan's turn to use the blue
The (almost) finished products
Let's go take a bath!

Good Friday

Reagan and Cooper were out of school today to celebrate Good Friday, so I took off work to stay home with them. Little did we know that Greg was also taking off work today to stay home with the family ~ such a treat for Reagan and Cooper. We spent all day playing and just being happy that we were all home together. We're especially thankful for what this holiday means to us as Christians.

At 35, I've got my first stitches (I had a mole removed yesterday)
Reagan could not wait to use her new Easter cookie cutters
Washing hands at the sink ~ it must be time to bake
Look at these cute socks from Mamaw and Papaw ~ she wore them all day (and even to bed tonight)
Cooper wanted to make cookies too!
She's very serious about her baking
All ready for the oven
Cooper really wants to help (look at the grin on his face)
Cooper and daddy supervising
One last cookie to go
To pass the time while the cookies bake, they wanted Greg to "do tricks" with them
Cooper first...
Now it's Reagan's turn
yummy, yummy
Cooper approves too!

Clean Up Crew

Greg mowed the grass today because the weather men are calling for rain this afternoon and all day tomorrow. Reagan and Cooper love to watch him work.

Every time he would pass by the window they would yell, "daddy, daddy, daddy" as loud as they could
Cooper thought he would help with the leaf blower
Reagan sporting the latest trend in clean up accessories~ notice the necklace, bracelet and striped Hello Kitty socks
Anyone coming after me?
She loves to help her daddy
After all their hard work, a wagon ride was in order!

Cooper's Easter Box from Mamaw & Papaw

Cooper had a special package on our doorstep this week from Mamaw & Papaw. It was full of Easter goodies.

What is this stuff?
I don't know, but I bet I could make a big mess with it!An Easter book
Donald Duck Pez dispenser
Easter soap
He put everything except Donald back in his box!

Reagan's Easter Box from Mamaw & Papaw

Reagan received a special delivery this week from Mamaw and Papaw ~ a box full of Easter gifts.

Opening the box ~ can't wait to see what's inside!
Jelly Beans ~ she discovered a love for jelly beans at school this week! Trying to open the jelly beans so she can eat them now!
She would have been satisfied if jelly beans were the only thing in her box
Hello Kitty sleeping socks
Easter cookie cutters ~ looks like we'll be baking again this weekend!
Easter soap
Easter sticky pads
Kleenex ~ something else for her purse
A purple bracelet
Ponytail holders
More sleeping socks
An egg stamp!
Thank You Mamaw & Papaw!

Picking Up Cooper

Since I had my camera at school, I thought I would get a few pictures of Cooper playing with his friends. When he saw me and Reagan, he was ready to go home!

Driving his car
So cute!
Once we got home, Cooper took a little time to read the Good Book
