Another fun filled weekend!
This weekend we had our first non-family member babysit the kids. A teenager from the neighborhood came over on Sunday afternoon for a few hours to meet the kids and see how everyone got along while Bryan and I went to lunch! It went great, the kids had a blast now we just have to see if we can get her back again!
Later that afternoon we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house to dye eggs. All of the kids had a great time playing together and dying eggs, it is amazing how quickly they were able to dye 4 dozen eggs!
Joseph and Mom watching the kids dye eggs

Eileen had to use the egg holder not the spoon once she saw the "proper tool"

The most amazing part is Olivia's sweatshirt was still white after the egg coloring, check out Grandma's table not so lucky!

Brenden had the best technique of the group and even managed to create a tri-colored egg!

Uncle Carl, brave enough to sit down with the kids to help with the coloring process

Nathan showing off his R2-D2 tee-shirt, his uncles were so pleased

After the egg coloring and pizza (Dad's favorite part) Grandma and Grandpa had hidden Easter treats for the kids to find. The kids got coloring books and crayons and markers, and of course candy! The kids are having a blast with their "color wonder" markers, it is giving me enough time to post the pictures!
Eileen, thrilled to find so many wonderful treats!

Olivia, trying her best to get into the plastic egg

Joseph, trying his best to get into (somebody's) egg
Still trying...
There was also some money in their bags, Bryan asked her if he could have some money to which she quickly replied "No.", but turned around and gave one of her dollars to Uncle Eric, she didn't need that much money.
Olivia showing Dad George Washington, I guess she didn't give all her money away!
