It is that time of year when we start thinking of Easter egg hunts, dying easter eggs and candy. More candy!
The weekend started off with Lillian and her Girl Scout Troop participating in Spring Clean up for the city of Leavenworth. The city had over 1,300 volunteers this year and it was their biggest turn out ever! Lillian had 25 people from her Girl Scout Troop volunteer (troop members, sisters and parents). We picked out grid and went to work picking up trash! The girls did a great job and I was amazed we made it for two hours in 34 degree weather! That is right TX friends....you are swimming and we are still wearing ski jackets, gloves, scarves, hats and mittens! The girls pushed through until we were numb!
Lillian then changed her clothes (she was muddy from clean up since it had rained for two days prior) and headed out to an Easter egg hunt with her friend, Annalise. It was so nice of her family to think of Lillian. Lydia needed to nap considering she was up at 5:50am and barely made it through Spring Clean Up! Lillian had a blast and like she said, "I got a 100 eggs mom!"
Today we finally got around to dying some Easter eggs. We had our awesome friends over too- Mandi, Brian, Abbie and Cody. The four kiddos enjoyed dying the Easter eggs and we went through 72 eggs in about 7 minutes! HA! I needed some for my Girl Scout Easter party tomorrow too, so watch out Troop 5400! Egg races coming your way!
Lydia was even a little thirsty and thought it would be a good idea to drink the blue dye! YUCK! I look away for one minute and her face is blue and she now has blue teeth! Good grief!
Love you all!
