Eggs made at home!

I forewarned you in the last blog that some more Easter egg decorating may be taking place. The kids wanted to make eggs at home,so last Thursday we got out all of the decorating goodies and made some more masterpieces. My mom, not knowing that the kids had decorated eggs on Thursday bought decorating kits to make more eggs at her house this last weekend. So not only did the kids get to make Easter eggs twice, they got to make them three times. Let me assure you there was no complaining on their part.

Easter Eggs!

This afternoon we headed out to Highland to decorate some Easter eggs. We met some friends and the kids had fun painting and using stickers to make some fancy eggs. I'm not sure those six eggs gave them their fill though so there may be a future post with more eggs to show. We followed up decorating with some yummy lunch. It was a great way to spend a cold and windy morning. I told my friend Stephanie there is something wrong with decorating your Easter eggs sitting next to a fire in the fireplace.

Yippie Ki-Yay!

This last few weeks Ella has been studying the Wild West at school. She is really loving it! She has been coming home talking about cowboys, cowgirls, Teddy Roosevelt, Davy Crocket, and many others. The title of this post was inspired by the fact that she has been going around the house singing, "Yippie ki-yay, ki-yay, Yippie ki-yo, ki-yo!" On Tuesday they had a chance to dress up like a cowboy or cowgirl for school. Luckily, our next door neighbor had been a cowboy for Halloween and let us borrow his costume. I think she made a pretty cute cowgirl!

Little Kicker!

Ella has entered the world of team sports. She is on her first soccer team. They had practice last Friday and then their first game on Saturday morning. She is enjoying herself being out there with the other girls and running around.

I think she only touched the ball once during the game but she was running around in the pack of kids that goes along with preschool soccer. She was upset when it was her turn to sit out she really wanted to be out there and a part of the action. Hopefully her enthusiasm keeps up throughout the season.
