Two Days with the McGirls

The week before Easter, Tater and I spent the first three days with J and B and did Easter activities with them.  The last two days of the week, the McGirls came to our house and hung out with us. 

Tater was so excited to see them and he and Jill quickly got to work playing with his tool bench.



Since it was a little yucky outside and we had a coupon, we went and played at a local bounce house.  (It was my attempt to wear them all out.  Just being honest.)

After bouncing the morning away, we came home and had Easter bunny pancakes. 

Not only did Tater take a nap that afternoon, but the bouncing wore out poor Molly, too.

The next day, we egged 3 houses.  Don't worry.  We didn't use real eggs.  We stuffed 3 dozen eggs first.  At each house, we tried our best to be quiet and hide 12 eggs in their yard.  We left an empty egg carton and a note telling them that they had been egged.  We'd ring their doorbell and make a mad dash to the car.  This was soo much fun for them and me and I loved that we were doing something for someone else.  Later that day, we got a knock on the door and realized that we had been egged in return.  The girls were so excited.  I didn't take any pictures of this because it's hard to dash to the car with a toddler and a 5 year old.  :)

We made coffee filter eggs like the ones we'd made with J and B. 

We made some really cool eggs with shaving cream art.  This was what the shaving cream and food coloring looked like when we were mixing it. 

Our finished eggs.

 We made cute Easter bunny garland, one for their home and one for ours. 

 We went bowling.

 Chloe had fun playing with Tater's new tinkertoys. 

 We dyed some eggs with koolaid, an idea I had seen on Pinterest. 

Tater had so much fun with the girls those two days.
