Easter Photos

Madelyn and home school friends painted eggs at our Easter co-op gathering on Friday. The girls carefully poked holes in both ends of raw eggs, blew the egg out, and then painted the shells with acrylic paints.

Our neighbors had the girls over to dye eggs yesterday morning. Heads together, Gwen and Sophie work together on their masterpieces.

Caleb wasn't especially impressed by the package of wet wipes he found in his helmet-turned-Easter basket, but he was pretty pleased with the edible items.
Seth serves up jelly beans on a utensil of Twizzlers. My neighbor had a friend of hers bring us both Easter candy from Target to use for our kids' baskets.
Madelyn and Gwen reading books they found in their Easter baskets. Have you read any Kevin Henkes books? Not Easter themed, but these books are really clever and so funny! Gwen's school recently started to offer the Scholastic book orders, so I was able to buy this bundle of six Henkes paperbacks.
The silly face Easter picture of the Liptak girls...
... and the nice picture!
Madelyn's baptism after our Easter service this afternoon... she was baptized along with a dozen other children and five adults. What a special time! Check her blog (Imagine That, in my side bar) in a day or two for her take on it and some more pictures.
