Oops..we forgot the vinegar!

Last night we pulled out the Easter Egg Dye Kit that we bought at Target the other day and decided to make some pretty eggs! We boiled and cooled them and then began to dissolve the tablets in the water. As Mitch was reading the directions he said "Do we have any distilled vinegar?". Hmmm...."I don't think so, do we need it?". "Only if we want bright eggs" he said. We thought no problem, we'll just have pastels! Well, turns out the only colors that work without the vinegar are the pink and purple! Good thing we have a girl! ;)



So excited to dye some eggs!

Watching the color tablets dissolve. I was pretty sure she

was going to be purple before this was over!
"BLUE"!!!!!
Making the holders with Daddy!
"Where is my egg? I can't see it!"
Carefully dropping the eggs in!
Time to decorate!

The Greatest Show on Earth!!






A few weeks ago we went to the circus with some friends in Bowling Green. We were lucky and got box seats at a discounted rate. It was nice because the kids didn't have to sit still in their sit the whole time, they could run around and be silly!

I have to admit that I wasn't really looking forward to the circus. I remembered going as a child and it was fun but, it didn't really sound too thrilling to me at this age! Mitch wasn't thrilled either but, we knew Annie would love it! It turns out we were wrong!! We all three enjoyed it!! They had the elephants, lions, and other animal shows that they kids thought were fun AND they had magic shows that really left us adults wondering "How in the world did they do that?"!! It was such a fun experience and I'm sure we will do it all over again in a couple of years!
