Monday March 29th Mommy & Me= EASTER!

Mommy & me this week was awesome! I was tasked with trying to come up with fun "easter" things to do that we haven't already done or will be doing in a group setting. We've already had one easter egg hunt and aiden will have 2 more both at his school and church. We've already had an easter brunch and thursday at school they will be having an easter bunny breakfast. We've already made one easter craft (the frame) and there will be crafts both at his school and at church this coming weekend so what to do, what to do?? I personally am a little tired of making cupcakes and decorating cookies, etc. I wanted to try something new soooooo having said all of that here's what I came up with for mommy & me celebrating easter!!!

Aiden went on a HUNT in the grass but for PEEPS! And the grass was easter grass that I filled the bathtub with!

Aiden had to find all the "hidden" bunnies and chicks in the grass.

He LOVED playing in the bathtub full of easter grass. So much fun.

Of course some of the little guys met this fate...

And this too... It's a snack AND an activity!!!! BUT most came out of the hunt still alive! Aiden and I then sorted them all out by colors (we are trying to work on our colors!) and took them to the kitchen to make a special easter PEEP craft!

Aiden's ready! I was very shocked by how much he really liked the craft. Usually he will only do a craft for a few minutes and then I end up finishing it but he really liked this one!

We were making a PEEP wreath!

And Aiden was such a BIG help!

Cutest little boy and peep wreath I've ever seen!!!

Our completed craft. I think it turned out pretty cute!

And then of course, you have to dye easter eggs for easter right?!?! The little 99 cent kit I bought came with a magic crayon that you color on the eggs first and then when you dye them whatever you colored or wrote shines through so here's aiden coloring the eggs!

And the dyeing! I was also suprised by how much he loved to dye the eggs. The only problem was that he would pull the eggs out of the dye with his hands and say "ooh cute!" and then...

PLOP them back down into a different colored bowl...so we have some cracked eggs and some just tie dyed eggs

Aiden and Mommy eggs!

All done with the dyeing, now time for STICKERS!!!

And all done! We came away with 6 eggs that aren't too badly broken. We started with 8 and you can tell a couple of them are tie dyed and a couple of them are a little cracked but other than that they are PERFECT! Plus it's the experience that matters anyways right??? and we had a BLAST!
