Easter Prep

We're in full Easter prep mode over here, and with a week still left to go we've already dyed our eggs, made Easter treats, and bought our Easter dresses.  On the subject of dresses, I'll have to admit I don't shop very often and so I was a little surprised when I went to the mall the other day.  Can anyone tell me what has happened to fashion?  I'll admit that since leaving the workforce and having a child, I'm not up on the latest trends as I was before.  Every cute dress I found had the back completely cut out of it for some reason, shorts come in two styles:  middle-aged woman golfer or street walker, and I saw overalls for sale.  Overalls.  Overalls.  I dread what monstrosities will be popular when Katherine reaches the age to pick out her own clothes.

Anyway.

We made Rice Krispies Treats (using this recipe) the other night and I let Katherine help stir and add the the sprinkles.  She really thought she was something helping out in the kitchen.  She did a great job stirring and an amazing job pouring the sprinkles.  One half of the treats had plenty of sprinkles.

A few days later, we dyed Easter eggs.  I hadn't dyed eggs in probably 12 years, so I forgot how much those little color tablets reminded me of the chew-able Children's Tylenol tables my mom used to give me when I was sick.  Katherine wasn't impressed with the actual dying of the eggs, but give her some stickers and she'll go to town.  We were a little under the weather that day so Mimi helped out.

I always get excited to get our Easter decorations out each year, because that means we can finally add some color to the house.  I found these awesome candle holders for $3 in the Target dollar spot.

One of my favorite ways to decorate for Easter is to put some colorful plastic eggs in random glass containers.  It's easy and very inexpensive.

Speaking of spring things, I've added some new cute spring scarves to the Etsy shop, so "hop" on over and check them out!

I'm so excited for Easter!  It's one of my favorite holidays, and I'm excited for Katherine to enjoy it this year.

What's your favorite part about spring?
