ShyShy, Easter & Tattoos

Disclaimer: #1 This is a long winded post #2 If you don't like worms, don't look at the first few pictures!

This post is a little biased. One night, Shylee had ran a random fever, so she couldn't go to school the next day. But the next day she was fine, so we had a morning with just the two of us. I love to spend alone time with each of my kids. This day just happened to be ShyShy's day.

We started out by going for a walk (seeing that it was a actually a nice day). On our way back, we were clearing off the drain on the run-off from the snow, and Shy found a worm. I thought for sure that she would be scared of it, because she is terrified of everything alive. But she loved it. She said she wanted to take it home. I wouldn't let her take it in the house, but she sat and held it for an hour or so.

We made a new home for wormy in our bark beds.

Then we made our way to the back yard to play on the trampoline.

I LOVE her cute little smile

Easter:

Just for starters, I did a terrible job about taking pictures. I snapped a few, but not nearly enough. Sorry kids :(

Dad helping the kids color eggs. We had like 12 different colors (yes, I went WAY overboard. I think I had more colors than pictures!)

Icee made like 10 pink eggs. Betcha can't guess her favorite color!

Sorry Cayge, I cut you out of this picture on accident, but this is them eating eggs. My kids love eggs, any way you can make them!

Shy hugs everything. I think she hugged her toy from the E.B. like 100 times, and probably every piece of candy that was in her bucket!

The E.B. always hides Cayge's stuff in the hardest places. (our living room is so small that the E.B. has to be very creative!)

Icee showing off her loot!

Shylee trying to figure out what her sixlets are.

The kids were so suprised that I told them that they could have whatever candy the wanted. They just dug in, no holding back. (I NEVER let them do anything like this. I am pretty strict when it comes to sugar!)

Cayge started his sugar high right off the bat.

The E.B. brought these funny suckers. I laughed my head off at the girls. (Cayge refused to let me take his picture while he was eating his!)

Tattoos:

Okay, you might have noticed, but this is just a grapefruit. Rayce is working really hard to start working on actual skin. This is one of his best so far. It was his first time shading (which uses more than on needle when tattooing). Usually when you shade, you have to outline everything first, but Rayce didn't. The guy that is teaching him was way impressed. So here are the pics. Sorry that they are kind of blurry, but you get the jist.
