All the families came into town Wednesday afternoon and the festivities began!
The number one thing on The Pirate's list was for me to fix his b"LANK"et. "Lank" is the baby blanket his Aunt "Chick Who Flew the Coop" made for him when he was born. I had to resew the entire thing BUT I became a heroine!
The grandkids were so happy to see each other, what a great reunion! They were pleased with themselves Thursday morning when they confided in me that Sadie Lou came up with the idea - if they got their pjs on and were in bed when the parents came to tell them it was bedtime, they could all sleep in the same bed just like they have always done! (It worked!)
The carnival from last summer must have been a real hit with them, because they spent all Thursday afternoon planning another one. They added a chalk drawing contest and "The Crack Game" - rolling a ball up a crack in the driveway marked with points at certain spots where the participant hopes the ball will stop.
We dyed eggs with silk from old ties and decided that this would become a yearly activity. We also decided that these eggs were for looks only and not to be eaten. Next year all kiddos will be allowed to make them - the process was that easy. We will also try to use hollow eggs, I've never had much luck with this but it's worth a try. So thank you Martha Stewart for this project!
The three younger kiddos dyed eggs outside, what a beautiful day!
This year the kiddos boundary was expanded to, "If you can see the house you're ok" and they were so excited to be able to visit the neighbor's horses!
The girls wore their sweaters and dresses for Easter and looked very sweet.
