Easter Bunny came!

Hey all.  Jake here.  Last night the Easter Bunny came to see me! He was much cooler this year than last. I was so excited to see him that I fell asleep early last night and I decided to give Momma and Daddy a Easter present too.  I let them sleep in until 6:30!  And then Daddy gave Momma an Easter present too, she got to sleep until 8:30!  Daddy made us all blackberry pancakes and then we went outside for an egg hunt!  It was lots of fun, though I really wanted to pick up rocks and play in the muddy soon to be garden instead. Hope you all had a great Easter as well.  Here are some pics that Momma took of my Easter egg hunt.

 Can't... open... egg...

The Easter Bunny is coming...

Today we made natural dyed eggs.  Here is the bounty of what we had to make the dyes. We had beets, red chilies, red onion, yellow onion, carrots, spinach and blueberries.

We used beets and chili peppers for the pink/red, carrots and yellow onion skins for orange, spinach for green and blueberries for blue/purple. 

Jake got all gussied up for some dying fun and of course had to wear his bunny rabbit ears. 

The final result was much different than I expected.  The colors weren't vivid but had depth, nothing like the colors out of a tube or a box.  It was lots of fun to do.  Next year we will experiment more with the colors.
