Today was the day that we dyed our Easter Eggs. With Ty being the crazy kid he is, I wanted to do it while Tom was home for the extra set of hands. That was a good idea on my part! Hahaha! He was not happy that he couldn't hold the cups of dye. There were a few tears, a mild hissy fit and a tug of war match over a cup of green dye, but he snapped out of it and joined Jack in the fun of it all. Jack did a great job decorating his eggs. I was actually really impressed. It's been awhile since I had our paints out, we'll be doing that next week. Ty really likes painting, hates crayons, but loves painting! Anyway, We had a great time dying our eggs. I'm excited to have an egg hunt tomorrow. It will have to be inside since the weather's a little crazy. One night this week we were awakened by the tornado sirens at midnight and they went off again today around dinner. Luckily we only saw the wall cloud and the the funnels happened past us. They are expecting another band of severe storms to come through the night again tonight, so we'll see. We're supposed to have these intense storms for the next 6 days. It's pretty crazy. For not seeing any lightning or hearing any thunder for over 2 years while we lived in California we're definitely in the right place for a big storm now. Tom and I are amazed with the clouds here, they're incredible to watch. But back to the eggs......I'm off to consult with the Easter Bunny on where to hide them all. Have a great Easter everyone!!!
The safety goggles were all Ty, he was wearing them most of the morning. But it's always good to put safety first! :-)
Here's the hissy fit over not being able to hold the cup and dunk his egg. (Notice all his new teeth!)
I can't believe how big Jack looks in this picture. (and please remember that I'm 39 weeks pregnant.....puffiness is my new look)
He's very serious about his art!
Once the crying was over, Ty did a great job painting his eggs.
Tom assisting the artist!
Jack made sure to use every color! Very festive!
His masterpiece!
After Ty managed to dunk his whole hand in the green dye he was done with the eggs. With that there was no more need for the safety goggles and he moved on to his 2nd choice for head gear....the iron man mask! Hahahah! For some reason every time he sees a super hero, Spider Man or Iron Man in particular he does the evil "Ah AH AH AH' laugh. Not sure why but it's so funny!
Here's a pic of the wall cloud we saw this afternoon... just for fun!

OK, what do I comment on first - there is so much...... Well the boys always come first in my eyes, so what a great job, Jack and Ty!!! Those eggs will be the Easter Bunny's favorites! Have fun hunting for eggs in the morning. Wish we could be there to help with the search. AND we are so proud of you, Ty!! Safety first is a great rule to live by. You never know when egg dye might splash in your eye and cause big issues. You were very smart wearing your googles. Pop Pop wears his googles when he is doing serious work too! Jack, your art work is by far beyond your years. You are one great egg painter!
Now for the weather - OMG what a scary sky that is! I would be having a fit of worry and will continue to worry till these storms come to an end. TAKE COVER QUICKLY and don't forget the dogs!
Happy Easter Tom, Nik, Jack, Ty, Sadie, Lola and Baby Boy #3. A hint on his name would be appreciated but I guess it won't be long till we know that big decision! Love to y'all.
