Dying Eggs

I thought Ainsley would be really excited to dye Easter eggs, but she could have cared less, until she saw the stickers, then she was thrilled. Up till now she has only seen plastic eggs and most of them had candy inside, so I did not know how this would work out for us. Well it did not work out very well for about 4 of the 12 eggs we dyed. Ainsley stuck her finger right through the shell. She did try to eat the hard boiled egg, but spit it out immediately. If only the egg could have been chocolate flavored!!

Look at my pretty eggs.


Ainsley stuck her finger right though the egg to see what was inside.


Another casualty.

Easter Egg Hunt 2010

Our Church had an Easter egg hunt today and the weather was perfect. Ainsley had the best time. Not only did she find eggs, but they played pin the tail on the rabbit, got to go fishing for prizes, had a puppet show and ate lots of good food.


Cute food table.


Check out that tattoo.


Ainsley loved finding eggs.


Look at all those eggs.

Cupcakes

Ainsley's daycare is having an Easter Egg Hunt tomorrow, so I decided to make some cupcakes to take for the kids. Can you believe Ainsley had to try one out before I could wrap them up. If you couldn't tell she loved them!!


Cute cupcakes.


Taste great!


Taste really great!


Makes a great facial too!!

Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles

Ainsley loves to be outside. What kid doesn't? She talked Daniel into buying her some bubbles at the greatest place on Earth... Wal-Mart. Of course, when we got home they had to go out and blow bubbles right away. I don't know how many bubbles she actually blew, but she had the best time anyway!

Ann Elise is 2 too!!

Our youngest niece, Ann Elise, turned two Friday and we went to her birthday party this afternoon. Ainsley had a great time running all over the gym and eating ALL kinds of sweet treats.


The party food was set up like a candy shop. There were marshmallows, brownies, ice cream, suckers, gummy bears and much more!

Funny Little Girl

Ainsley has been full of herself lately. This morning I gave Daniel a little peck good-bye, while she stood beside me. She proceeded to say "That's yuck!" I guess she already thinks boys are gross...including her Daddy.

Potty Update

I needed to post this statement to myself, so I will have a reference down the road.

Ainsley has been totally potty trained (no. 1 and no. 2), since our very stressful 4 days of potty training in January. She only had 3 accidents at daycare in the first 2 weeks, but no accidents since then. Even with those accidents I was told she was on her way to the potty, just was a little late putting down a toy or two to head that way. Mrs. Hudson (her babysitter) has bragged and bragged on how well Ainsley did with the entire process. She started telling whoever was near by that she had to go potty by day 3 and even makes it all the way to Tupelo everyday without a problem. She is still sleeping in a pull up at night, but it is dry 99% of the time when she wakes up and does not use one at nap time. I am thrilled to have gotten so lucky b/c I know it is not easy for so many other parents. Thank you Lord for getting me through this major lesson in her life!
