Easter

This was a big Easter for Zander. We went to an Easter egg hunt at church then we had an easter egg hunt at Granny's farm with his classmates. On Saturday, we went to the flea market and Zander saw his first puppy and petted a baby duck and a baby turkey. Of course he wanted to bring them all home with him, but I have already been there and done that. Ducks are meant for a farm not in the living room.
The easter bunny came this morning. It was very lucky for me however that Zander forgot he was coming because apparently he forgot to come until Zander had been up for quite some time. He was a very smart bunny because he knew that Zander did not need candy or chocolate. He brought garden tools, firemen, and other small toys. He really only looked at his toys for a few minutes and then decided to help his daddy with the remodeling of the bathroom. This afternoon we will go to Uncle Steve's to watch the UNC game in the NCAA tournament and then to dinner. I will swing by and see Granny at some point today also. This is the first year in my life that we have not all been together for a holiday. Tracy and I decided that we would do our own thing this year. I guess it is time to start my family traditions. Mom and Dad are usually in Texas, so it looks like this is the way it will be from now on.
Zander and I dyed eggs this morning. It was so much easier than the old way. With this kit, you drop the hard boiled egg in a plastic bag and put in a few drops of color. Then he simply rubbed the egg around in the bag and presto! tye dyed egg. Then you put white sparkly glitter on it and let it dry. They were really pretty and it made absolutely no mess and we were done in just a few minutes. Now we will see if all of the color comes off on your hands when you try to eat one.
Happy Easter to you all!
