Easter

I didn't quite read the directions on how to dye the eggs. The tablets didn't dissolve and Malaya's hands had more color on them than the eggs. Jolie cried the whole time because she said "no" to putting her hands in the cups. And if you check out Malaya's hand, you can see it in the cup. It was a disaster.


Easter morning

This is the girl's discovering their baskets on Easter morning. The funny thing is, they are not labeled and we did not tell them which one belonged to who. Malaya takes the lead by assuming the pink one is for her and quickly points out Jolie's basket to Jolie. (She was right, the pink one is for her). But, watch as Malaya decides to take the pig stuffed animal even though the bunny rabbit was with her basket. Jolie may not notice these things now, but one day she will :) Sean and I were also laughing because a fly decided to intrude and it lands right on Jolie's head. Gross!

Planting




in the nude



It was so hot and humid on Easter! The girls were excited to use their gardening bags, so outside we went at 8:30am. I figured they could garden in their pajamas because I didn't want them to get their Easter clothes dirty (although they didn't end up wearing them anyway because it was so hot). The girls got so hot and dirty, that they ended up taking their pajamas off. It's a good thing our neighbors can't see us!

Malaya helping Jolie

Malaya and Jolie got gardening bags for Easter. It was the perfect day to do some planting too. But, as every gardener knows, first you must put on your gloves. Malaya was trying to be a great big sister, and desperately tried to help Jolie put on her gloves. Those little fingers just didn't want to go in the right spots.

Egg hunts

It was such a beautiful day for an egg hunt. The girls found all of the eggs in no time. Luckily Jolie's nap was right after the hunt. So, by the time she woke up in the afternoon she forgot that there was candy in her eggs. I took it all out and she never knew any different. :)


Ma hid talking eggs. If you listen carefully, you can hear them calling the girls. They were delighted. We played this game a few times.

It was a nice day to fly a kite.

cute

It has been a long time since I added anything! I realized the other day that I haven't taken many picures or videos of the kids lately. Jolie always tries to grab the camera, so that doesn't help. I did manage to get this video last week.
