Eggstravaganza!

I have several blogs that I need to get posted, but just haven't had the time. So I will just take it slow and start with one at a time, and go in chronological order, just so you don't get confused. :)

This blog starts the weekend before Easter, when our church holds their annual egg hunt. Like last year, the day dawned gray and rainy, so the festivities were held indoors. At this point, I wonder what it's like to have them outdoors - indoors seems to work so well! We tried to make the best of a gray morning at home, by making fresh cinammon rolls for breakfast. Hayden (as well as the rest of us) thought they were delicious.

There might have been some other 'bunny' business as we got ready for the egg hunt.

Eliza got to be in the 1-2 year old egg hunt and she did great! Given our recent practice egg hunts, she was well primed and picked up lots of eggs! She could have been a little more efficient, since she continued to exclaim over almost every egg she picked up - but I'll take enthusiasm over efficiency while she's little. :)

Even Molly got her own egg, but she wasn't sure what to do with it.

Hayden was in the 3-5 year old egg hunt and had a great time flying around the youth room looking for eggs. I couldn't even get a good picture, because there were so many people in there and she was so busy. But she found plenty of eggs and had fun doing it!

After egg hunts, we headed upstairs to see what other fun things we could find to do. Both girls got their faces painted - can you tell what each one picked?
Then we went into the fellowship hall to get some food. We enjoyed the hot dogs and drinks, the girls decorated sugar cookies for dessert. All in all, a very fun Egg-stravaganza! (by the way, how would you define extravaganza? Hayden was asking and I think I said something about a really big event with lots going on. Not a word I use very often!)

Checking out their haul on the way home.

Then, since an egg-stravaganza just wasn't enough excitement, after naptime, the girls made some new friends that Jason found while mowing the lawn.

Can you guess what's in the bucket?!

Toads!

The humidity made the toads happy and really helped Eliza have a good hair day!

They bonded over the toad examination.

Oh and Molly also developed pink eye that weekend. We got to go into the doctor on Sunday morning. Yay! (don't worry, she's all better.)

Can you see the pink eye coming? I'll spare you the pictures I took of it up close and personal.
