Count 'Em Boys

Issac pops up each morning with, "Is today Easter?". Sadly the answer is no and he asks how many more days. Life wouldn't be the same if we didn't have an Issac. A boy who for a month before a holiday starts asking daily about its impending arrival. This weekend marked our official countdown calender.

On Saturday we boiled, colored, and dyed Easter Eggs. It was the first for so many things. It was our first time dying sans Travis but he was on Boy Scout Campout, it was the first time we stayed fully dressed to do the dying, and it was the first time there were no major spills. Oh how I love my growing children and their reduced mess making tendencies.On Sunday we had this year's annual Baron's Ridge Easter Egg. After several beautiful weather days we were hoping the hunt would be free from the weather disasters that have plagued us in previous years, but it was not to be. The air was cold, the wind blew blustering, and minutes after cleaning up the party the rain came down. The kids were cold and ready to go home which left us with less time for girl chat, but it was still fun and lucky for me we are planning another night for New Moon viewing so girl time is just around the corner.
And so of course Monday morning came and Issac popped up and asked "Is today Easter, yet". Still the answer was no but at least six days seems manageable. Hooray for holidays and innocent childhood excitement.

Oh that is so cute Mary! I also LOVE your neighborhood and how neighborly everyone is. What a fun place to live!

I agree with Sommer; what an awesome community you live in. Maybe when our community fills out some more it will be equally as cool.

Doesn't he know once Easter comes the festivities are over? Looks like a great weekend.
