Church Egg Hunt

Our church had an Easter egg hunt, lessons and crafts today, so we thought we'd go join the fun. We showed up at the elementary school down the road from the church for the hunt. We got there a little early, so Kinley had to restrain herself for a while. When we walked up, there were eggs all over the ground. It was pretty hilarious watching all the kids just staring at the eggs and continually asking if it was time yet.

Here Kinley is waiting and waiting and waiting.


Once they said go, I pointed Kinley to an empty end of the play ground, and off she went!

Daddy showed her where some eggs were by the play stuff. She thought it was all so cool and loved to see the other kids pick up eggs too.

Here is the goofy smile showing us all her eggs.

After the egg hunt, we went back up to the church for a little lesson, games and crafts. Kinley made this cross. The only thing I did was hold the glue dots and put her initials on.

Right before it was time to go, the kids got to go pet some baby chicks. Kinley was so gentle petting the little black one. She asked me if she could hold a little yellow one, but more kids started coming, so I told her that wasn't the best idea. And yes, we used lots of sanitizer right after this picture!

What did you do!?

So its been a bit crazy here. A couple weeks ago it was mid 70s and great. We played a little sand volleyball and loved it, but it didn't last since then, we've had a storm with 80mph winds and its snowed twice! Its crazy, I tell you! For instance...today its 70 and its supposed to snow and only be in the 30s tomorrow.

Anyway....

Last weekend Kinley was in her room putting on makeup with Swiper (this is what she tells me). She comes out and I don't even know what to say. I'm stunned! All I could say was "What did you do?! At this time, Kinley just started howling and the tears started flowing. Being the mom that I am, I let her cry while I got a picture before I held her and addressed the issue.

Make sure you check out the chunk of hair hanging down from her shoulder.

Now you know why I didn't know what to say. What can you say to that face? She "luckily" only got a couple chunks in the front, but I told her if she cut her hair again we were going to shave it like Daddy's. Also, the pictures are a little fuzzy because I'm laughing and crying at the same time.
