Saturday: Easter activities

The day between Good Friday and Easter...such an odd day.  Relief that the pain of the cross is done, but the joy of the Risen Savior isn't here yet.

So we did some of the secular, but very fun, Easter activities today.  First we set up an Easter egg hunt for Isaac.  This was my favorite hiding place...Isaac had put the clothes pin on the light switch yesterday.

Isaac with his finder (the finger).  He did a much better job this year than last year.

Amazingly, he also did a wonderful job sharing.  There was an M&M in each egg...but instead of eating all of them he shared equally with Ben and me.  Joshua got to enjoy some empty eggs.

Isaac made a hunt for us.  Several of the eggs were in the same spot that we put them and several eggs were all together.

Since he had done such a good job sharing, we put another M&M in all the eggs and hid them again.  Jerusalem helped.

Isaac's last attempt at hiding eggs.  They were all in plain sight on the floor.  We hid them one more time with coins ($1.38 to be exact) and then ended up playing with the money for longer than I expected.

We also dyed some eggs.  We found a white crayon, but it didn't work well on the eggs.  So we just dyed them a solid color.  Next year I'll know we need different supplies.  But it was still fun.  The yellow and green eggs turned out the best.
