easter

Thank you for all of your encouraging comments in the last post.  I am dealing with it all fairly well - the most noticeable change to me is that I'm not eating as well or exercising as much, which is unfortunate because those things would probably help me feel better.  I felt like I wasn't blogging much because there were so many things going on that I hadn't shared here yet that were the biggest parts of my life.  We are enjoying a nice relaxing Easter weekend at home which is really helping.  Here's some of what we've done.

I tried the electrical tape method from the latest MS Living magazine, but it didn't turn out quite as neat as hers did.  I also tried punching out some shapes, but they just fell off the eggs.  Did anyone else try this?

 The boys did a little coloring with crayons on their eggs, but mostly just wanted to get another one in the dye as soon as one egg was finished.

I made two bowling bunnies - finished them very late last night and slipped one in each easter basket.  I have enough to make a full set embroidered and cut out.  I hope to finish them today.

 And orange rolls (although I use the Refrigerator Roll recipe instead of the Dinner Roll on).  This is more of a General Conference tradition for us than an Easter one.  There's no better day to listen to conference than Easter - I'm grateful to be home enjoying the day, learning about the Savior, and watching the boys hide their eggs and then go searching for them again.  Happy Easter everyone!

Happy Easter! I love the bowling bunnies and orange rolls are so delicious. We only had fresh bread. =)

I always "think" I am going to try those fancy egg things, but really I never do.

Those bowling bunnies are fabulous! You always have the best ideas for all the holidays. I hope you get some sun soon!
