Saturday: waiting day

Today always feels like a waiting day for me.  We remembered that Jesus died yesterday, and we know that we will celebrate that he rises from the dead tomorrow, but today we're just in a holding pattern.

So we did some egg activities.  We tried dying eggs with cool whip.  They're still in the fridge and we'll see how they turn out tomorrow.

Joshua was not really that excited.  This is about one of two times that he was actually participating and not screaming.

Isaac enjoyed it though!

Then we did an egg hunt.  Joshua figured out very quickly what he was supposed to do and really enjoyed it.

Isaac got right to work finding his eggs.  He ended up finishing about the same time as Joshua, although received significantly less help.

And there was candy inside!  I only put one smartie in each egg, so we did two rounds.

Then Isaac hid the eggs for Ben and me.  His hiding skills have improved significantly in the last month, let alone since last year!!  It took Ben and I about fifteen minutes to find all but two of them, and we needed a lot of help.  There are still two missing, and Isaac can't remember where he put them. :)  Then we had Isaac make an easy hunt for us...and it was much easier.  He definitely understood the difference.
