Happy Easter

[primsong]

I hope this holiday is being a lovely one for all of you -

Trimmed a huge bowlful of flowers for the church service - we have a wire cross that we fill with flowers and then turn on the white christmas lights inside it. It's gorgeous! The daffodils are starting to droop, but I still had lots of narcissus, grape hyacinth, bluebells and others - snow in summer, cherry blossoms and even blooms off of the huge rosemary.

After church, we had it stop raining long enough to run outside and hide scads of plastic eggs all over the yard. The kids had a good time finding them and then haggling with one another over what they'd found. Dyed a bunch of coffee filters with easter-egg dyes and hung them around the kitchen until they were dry so we can put them in the windows. They're so pretty, like stained-glass flowers.

Now we're blowing up marshmallow bunnies in the microwave - if you face two of them towards each other and "arm" them with a toothpick, you can make them joust, seeing who blows up enough to stab the other one first. I love Easter.

And Congratulations to Rosie and Icarus upon the birth of their new baby boy, Peter Eomer!

The thought of you blowing up marshmallow bunnies in the microwave is the best smile I've had all day =D

Another baby? God love Rosie =D

Yup - that makes 8 Hey, why stop now? She's on a roll! :-)

The bunnies are a tradition here - the blue ones seem to keep winning this time, must be a fresher box of bunnies than the purple or yellow ones. Also fun to take a whole row of them, still attached together, and prop them up in their box in the microwave. They get HUGE, especially their ears. Haha!

Sounds like a fun Easter, Prim. I like the idea of the coffee filters.

We came across it by accident a couple years ago when we ran out of eggs but still had all this lovely dye to use - since then we prefer it to the pile of boiled eggs no one really wants to eat. :-) They look like pale tie-dye and can be trimmed to flower shapes too.

hiding eggs, stained glass coffee filters and Peep wars. Sounds just about right to me! Happy Easter!

Sounds wonderful

I am so glad you had a wonderful Easter with your family Prim!

Now that is the best use of marshmallow Peep that I have ever heard! One year, after talk of peeps on the old boards (I thnk it was the LOTR Peeps) I decided to try them again. Not at all what I remembered and I vowed never to eat another one. But I never vowed not to play with them, especially not in the microwave!

And coffee filter flowers are just wonderful!

My son ate one of his, but the others were all used as expanding toys - even the kids don't care for them as edibles it seems. I remember liking them when I was little but I've always been something of a marshmallow fiend. :-D
