We're covered in bunnies

This is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life.

A tale-tell sign that the kids really enjoy an activity is when they mention it in their evening prayers. By that token, I can tell that dying Easter eggs was a real hit. At the Hobbs house, we actually have a process for the kids to follow when dying Easter eggs. First, put the egg in the dye cup. Next, stir the water. This is the most important step. It basically keeps the kids busy so that they don't want to pull the egg out a million times to see if it's ready. Finally, after a long time stirring, the egg can come out. The kids try to use a spoon to do this, but unfortunately sometimes, they forget and end up also dying their hands and the kitchen floor. I think Grant's hand is still a little blue.

We're just getting started. Everyone is real excited to let the dying begin.


Cute Grant, stirring the egg.

After a while, regular colors were boring. So, the kids mixed all the colors together to guess what color it would make the eggs.


Notice the nasty grey egg in the corner. I wonder where that one came from.

All of the egg coloring, of course, happened yesterday. We woke up this morning "covered in bunnies" to quote Blake. The kids enjoyed their easter baskets as well as finding a trail of bunny footprints to three easter huge baskets sitting on our kitchen table.

The easter egg hunt was a hoot. With Hayden sitting on the ground shaking a couple of eggs he had found until one of them broke up and he started eating all the M&M's that fell out. Grant and Blake ran around like crazy men grabbing all the eggs that they could find. Me and Melanie were laughing trying to take pictures and point out where eggs were that they couldn't find.
