Kicking off Easter festivities

Brian had off work for Good Friday so we kept Connor home from school to have a family day. It started off with his 4 year doctor's appt which was great... except for the shot he had to get. :( Still, he recovered quickly and we moved on to Easter fun.

We did the traditional egg dyeing of course

Followed by the not-so-traditional volcano egg dyeing. Mix food coloring with baking soda and water, paint eggs...

Then drop vinegar onto the eggs and watch the colorful magic happen!

Connor made this cool birds nest at school, so we displayed some of his favorite eggs in it

Then that night something I'd been planning on for a while - a glow-in-the-dark Easter egg hunt! Mini battery-powered lights in the eggs, with treats of course.

This is an attempt to show you what they looked like in the yard. It really doesn't do it justice. Once it was dark, this was SO cool!
