Easter Eggs, I’m Done

I’ve done my part of eating from the fridge and I can do no more.

So far this week I have eaten 4 egg salad sandwiches, 2 salads with hard boiled eggs in them, and 1 hard boiled egg by itself.

I can’t eat anymore Easter eggs.

My  cholesterol is probably 485.

I’m going to eat something from the pantry.

Teacher Appreciation Ideas

Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up next week for Caroline’s preschool so I thought I would share a few cute ideas I’ve seen around blogland.

Easter Weekend 2013 Recap

First up on the fun filled weekend was Caroline’s preschool Easter egg hunt.

We were asked to fill up the eggs with things other than candy.

I thought that meant stickers and silly bands.

Others thought it meant money.

Next up was the Mary Poppins show – Caroline’s first big broadway show to attend!

Immediately after sitting with her in the theater and explaining how only big girls are able to go to the theater a couple walked by with a 1 yr old. And believe me she noticed.

Easter egg dying at home was next!

Then off to the neighborhood Easter egg party and egg hunt with grandpa.

We woke up Easter morning to hollowing winds and tornado warnings. After spending some time in the closet we came out to our fence down in the neighbors yard.

After things had calmed down a bit we had an Easter egg hunt. Thank goodness the Easter bunny had the foresight to hide the eggs in the house.

Fun fact: Caroline is wearing her great grandmother Caroline’s pearls. And yes, shoes are totally optional on Easter.

Hope everyone’s Easter was wonderful!
