Trying to eat the freshly colored egg!!!




Ethan wanted a very dark egg and it wasn't happening, he mixed all the colors, and came up with this...






Darkish purplish pinkish...and a smile!!!








Orange, she really enjoyed mixing colors, and remixing, and remixing, she colored each egg a few times.










Orange matched her apron, she has one of the best 5 smiles in the world!!!







PINK makes her happy!!!







lots of COLOR'S, Wilson preferred his fingers, not the spoon!!!







Nate loves stuff like this.






So do the boys!!!







We also went to Primm, so we could take advantage of free rides, Sam was a good sport hanging out.

Spring Break, Thursday!!!





We had huge plans for today that have been postponed due to double Dr. appointments this morning, Nate fell hiking yesterday, he has great war wounds, look at his ankle, and knee, he cannot walk or put any sort of pressure on his leg, so he, Ethan and Wilson went to the urgent care this morning to get his MRI and Ortho, referrals, while the girl's and I went to the pediatrician's office with Sam, who has double ear infections and junk in his lungs, poor boys, we have spent the day playing at home and making Easter cookies!!! not a bad day...for me anyway!!!
