Last night we dyed Easter Eggs. The kids had so much fun. The first thing you need to dye Easter eggs is the proper attire. Next you need lots of color options. Maybe some helpers. Crayons to make designs. And little break with your big cousin. Always so much fun decorating eggs!
I other day I took some Boomerang videos of the kids. John loved it. And he immediately started coming up with ideas of how to make the best videos.

After that every squirrel we saw was Bushy, the squirrel. Tonight when Gillian and I pulled into John’s school, Gillian saw a squirrel.… Continue reading Bushy, the squirrel
