Easter Eggs

We thought that Colin would have a lot of fun dying Easter eggs this year. We didn't even attempt last year and we thought we'd give it a try since he's 21 months old now. Plus, this would be a good trial-run for Brian and I seeings how it's been YEARS since we've done this ourselves.

We got Colin all set up with a grubby t-shirt and had the counter all covered with newspaper. The thing we didn't count on was Colin wanting to drink all of the dye that was in the cups and him wanting to eat the eggs that we set out to color. Oh well, at least the colors were non-toxic, we found out after we read the box very carefully :)

Yum, this yellow one tastes great!

Yum, this blue one tastes great, too!

Mommy making Colin laugh. He just loves laughing at different facial expressions that Brian and I make. So funny!

We sacrificed an Easter egg for a snack that morning.

Oh, and Brian got me some beautiful tulips for Easter. I LOVE TULIPS!

Jake is back at our house now that we have the house off the market. He hasn't been feeling well, being very fatigued and having no appetite. We took him to the vet and they said all of his blood work came back fine, just his cardiac markers were a bit elevated. They think he might have an enlarged heart, which could be causing some of his lethargy, but he is in no pain from that. Colin just ADORES Jake. Every morning he makes sure he has food & water and we let him outside. He will give him hugs and kisses and pet him whenever he is around. It's nice to see this caring side of Colin, because we can only hope he will be the same way when the new baby arrives.
