The Horrible Fate of the Bunny that was Chocolate

It was almost too pretty to eat!!!

... almost, but not quite.

Easter Eggs

Easter Eggs! Since I had play practice all day Saturday and we went to Easter Vigil, we did not dye eggs until Easter Sunday. Here are some pictures!


We had lots of fun deciding what to put on the eggs! We used a clear wax crayon to draw on them.

The dyes.

A bowl of delicious eggs!

While I was cleaning up the dyes, I noticed this headline from the paper used to cover the table. I thought it was a neat coincidence! (It was about NASCAR, but who cares? The headline fits.)

The three eggs I decorated.

Ben's "egghead".

Maria Pomeranke (sp?) made this beautiful hollow egg, which she sold to help her siblings go to their Oddessy of the Mind meeting thing. I thought it was beautiful.

Happy Easter

Hello! Why, you ask, am I on the computer on Easter? We are not going to visit anyone today, Ben, Will, Nick, and Adelynn are in a rousing four player game that seems to require lots of screaming, and Mom and Dad are going to play Ticket to Ride or Carcassone. And Marcus is nearly asleep. Also, I was not on the computer on Good Friday and Holy Saturday, so I am catching up on two whole days of not being on the computer. :-) Of course, I have missed very little. ;-) Here are some pictures from this morning- Mom was our photographer.

Will. There is a story behind that hat and jacket- he wore them all the time (as in all the time all the time) and he gave up wearing them for Lent.

Nick looking at his holy card of the patron saint of Boy Scouts. I forget who it was.

Adelynn holding up her necklace with the Miraculas Medal and little heart charms.

Marcus got a tool! A tape measure that it is OK if he destroys!

Not all of us had gotten dressed yet so I will save you from having to see pictures of me and Ben in PJs. :-)

Easter egg hunting:




I was utterly oblivious while Easter egg hunting- my eggs were blue. The Easter Bunny hid one in a empty blue outlet thingie- and I did not see it at all!!! Ben found an egg hidden behind a row of VHS tapes, and he found it pretty quickly, too! William took a long time finding his eggs- he was more oblivious than I was- and he spent quite awhile searching. When he found his last egg, I began playing "Alleluia" from Handel's Messiah. :-) That was pretty funny.
Adelynn told me today that she gave up playing her dollhouse for Lent. That's a pretty tough thing for a five year old! She decided to do it all by herself, and actually did it. She said she wanted to tell Jesus how much she loved him. Isn't she sweet?
So, of course, this morning I had to play dollhouse with her. Bad guys came and blew up the house, knocking all the furniture over (she has brothers- can you tell?) and the dollhouse people had to save the princess. They caught the bad guys and the princess gave a party and gave new dresses to all the dollhouse girls. I thought it was an interesting way of playing dollhouse.

Last night we went to Easter Vigil Mass. It was beautiful. Benjamin Wegner was baptized and recieved his first Holy Communion.

A rainbow! Very fitting, on Easter.

I'll post pictures from yesterday's dress rehersal later.
