Easter fun

I do realize Easter is still over two weeks away but we are celebrating Easter in full swing. I figure we spend the whole month of December preparing to celebrate Christ's birth so why not spend the month leading up to Easter celebrating the Resurrection of Christ. It has been so much fun to incorporate this fun into homeschool. Thanks to some great ideas from my friends homeschool blog that you can find the link to on yesterday's post, and some ideas of my own, we have been having a great time.
Today we made these beauties:

We also ate some of these yummies:

And we have been enjoying reading from these books. The illustrations in these picture books are AMAZING. We just read the first chapter of The Bronze Bow and I think we are going to love it!

On Tuesday of next week we will begin doing these, a tradition we have done for the past several years.

Oh, and we enjoyed some rice krispie treats with mini cadbury eggs in them, they were DELICIOUS. And that is why there is no picture of them here because they are all gone. We made them before we left for the cabin and that was our tasty treat while we were there. Have you noticed a theme here? We like our Easter treats.

And you may be wondering why I took a picture of our vacuum. It has nothing to do with Easter. I just wanted to share a picture of it because I am really in love with it. We have been in  need of a new vacuum for several months now. We had some extra money set aside to buy this and were able to make the purchase a few weeks ago (right before Michael was out of work). I really love it and find myself vacuuming a lot. There is nothing like a new vacuum. Even our cars have had the royal treatment from this beauty. And I love how it's yellow, I LOVE yellow. Makes me love Dyson even more.
