dying Easter eggs

We had a great time dying Easter eggs last week. I put one in Emmie's lunch box everyday for the rest of the week and she thought it was the coolest thing ever.  Emmie enjoyed it so much I bought another box of dye on clearance to pull out for special occasions...or maybe I'll just keep it for next Easter... who knows! 
 




Confession: I love hard boiled eggs....sandwiches...salads...solo...yum!

Booby Trap

Around the chair...
Down the hall way...
Into the master bedroom...

But first around the handle...

 And finally all around the dresser knobs....

HA! Now Matt will never be able to get to his clothes...

The Culprit: Emmie Grace


Our conversation when I woke up and saw her by the dresser:
Me: Good Morning Emmie Grace.
Emmie: Oh! Just close your eyes and go back to sleep
Me: What are you doing Emmie Grace?
Emmie: Shhh...be quiet. don't touch anything.
Me: Why?
Emmie: Emmie's working
Me: Oh...I see...(I put on my glasses) hummm...did you get into my thread?
Emmie: Shhh...I working
Me: hummm....looks like you've been working hard. Where's daddy?
Emmie:...uh...I don't know really
Me: Are you booby trapping Daddy's dresser?
Emmie: Uh-hu...I'm so tricky!

That girl...I swear.  Matt thought he left her in good hands in front of the Saturday morning cartoons and let me sleep in (bless him) while he was helping Prime...Can't leave that girl alone for a second. She used the entire spool...well worth it I'm sure she would tell you!

Grandma's Rose

This little, pathetic rose bush came with our house.  It's always been kind of awkward and funny but yesterday when I got back from my morning run I noticed that we have a few blossoms! They are beautiful.  They remind me of my Grandma Tenney.  She always loved roses - especially the peach ones. 

Birthday Cake


What's a birthday without cake? Prime loved his little veggie cake.  Okay...call me weird - whatever...but I just couldn't do the big regular cake thing knowing that he'd be eating it right before bed time. So - solution...veggie muffin's made in mini cake pans.  He just ate 4 servings of fruits and vegetable! yeah! And he loved every bite!  I got the recipe here.  It's awesome. even Emmie loves them -and that's saying a lot! Happy Birthday Prime!
