I hope that everyone enjoyed their Easter weekend! Easter has always been a favorite holiday of mine. I love all the new life sightings as the season enfolds, the warmer weather and the show of colours from spring flowers starting to embrace the light. What perfect way to celebrate it then with family. Having children to relive traditions of egg hunts, chocolate, bunnies, and an introduction to biblical tales is a joy. We kicked off our celebrations with some hard boiled egg decorating on Friday. Both girls loved dipping them into different colours and then used the left over food dye to make pastel painting and had lots of fun creating a great big mess in the kitchen :). A friend of mine posted her Easter egg making fun this week and used the eggs in baggies with the dye. I think I will do this next year. Quelle pagaille! :) Of coarse, there were no newspapers on hand when I went to set up so that didn't help.

I was going to post these Easter pics on Monday but less then 10 minutes into my children's quiet time I happened to hear a clink of metal above me, coming from the bathroom. My heart raced. My daughter Abby has been taking an interest in scissors this past week, cutting Easter photos out of flyers for crafts with our assistance, so hair was the first thing that came to my mind. Sure enough, as I neared the foot of the stairs this is what I found. She also knew I had an appointment at the salon on Tuesday so hair must have been on her mind.
Oh boy! I could handle one, but both my girls!!
Sigh...I know it is only hair and it grows back and it will be one of many stories we will laugh at in the future. They got a time out in their room while I called around to family to help me calm my nerves. I was so upset at the time :(. I got over it quickly and initially was going to run out and get it fixed for them but with the advice of my Mother-in-Law, I decided to let them, Abby specifically, live with it for awhile. It is a good thing that she doesn't seem to mind it and is too young to be aware of herself appearance yet. She still thinks it is funny but told me she was sorry and won't do it again (fingers crossed). For the next few months they will both be sporting hair clips and headbands until it grows back.
