Easter

Kaisa, Keaton and Carter came to visit us for Easter.  We had a fun-filled weekend dying eggs using silk neck ties and natural ingredients like cabbage, turmeric and beets.  Quite the experiment and as you can tell by my expression below, we were shocked at how well the tie's pattern transferred onto the egg.

Here's Kaisa modeling her beautiful egg, wrapped expertly in cabbage leaves.  Notice her stylish belt made from cut up neck ties. Always the fashionista.  On the other hand, please disregard my humongous mu-mu t-shirt that I stole from Jeremy, and that I wear to bed.  Yes, Kaisa got dressed for the day and I did not.  Don't judge me.

Isn't that blue egg awesome? It looks like leaf imprints, but the pattern is from an ugly blue striped tie.  Apparently, the uglier the tie, the better the egg!

The boys displaying our creations.

I'm slightly obsessed with how cool these eggs are.  And the adorable chubby hand that's holding it.

The hunt is on.

Look at that face.  You would never guess what's in store from that sweet innocent look on Keaton's face.  But brace yourself for the next photo...

Ewwwww.  I tried to warn you.  Good thing his grandpa and uncle are dentists because he's going to need it. :)

I'm sorry about all the graphic pictures.  But we were working with FIVE boys...this was bound to happen.

Like I said, just keeping it real.

Carter and Hayden wanted to take pictures of us moms. We started out like this....

And then threw in a few super model poses.  Because we could.

It all went downhill from there...

Kaisa decided to dislodge her jaw for the sake of a fantastic photograph. What a giver.

 
  Love the little blue eyes peeking over Kaisa's shoulder.

Who are the drama queens here?  We told the boys to give us their best pouting faces and this is what results. Keaton and Carter are quietly sad and Hayden and Gannon are lamenting and wailing as if their toe nails are being pulled off.  What goofballs!
