Slow Stitching Sunday

LeeAnna has asked us
do you remember dying easter eggs? did you do it with your mom, or the
other kids,

  did you have those crayons to pre mark them?

what did your family do with them?  Did your family hide them for hunts?
Any stories about hunts gone wrong or couldn't find all the eggs, etc

I remember the Paas Easter Egg dyeing kits.  I remember the tabs fizzing when you put them in the vinegar.  I remember the neighbour across the street always gave us one of her very fancy dyed eggs.  I remember my MIL dyeing eggs with my sons and doing an egg hunt.  My sons are a fair bit older than their cousins on that side of the family.  That tradition went on for a very long time and once my boys were too old for it they would help their younger cousins.  I was so proud of them for the way they helped.

We had the whole family here last weekend to celebrate Liliana's fourth birthday.  It was such a good day.  We all coloured the giant butterfly poster for her.  I love being a grandmother.  

I like that we have made progress on the bedroom renovation.  Possibly hubby will be able to start laying the new flooring soon.  It will feel so good to have that room usable again!  Liliana and her brother were asking for a sleepover so we have to make that happen soon!
