Homeschool group easter/spring party

We celebrate all the holidays we can with our homeschool group, Easter is no exception.  I prefer to call it a spring party because we are celebrating the new life of spring and how the earth renews itself each year.  I love spring.  It's my favourite season, flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, trees are blossoming, the grass gets green, the sun is shining.  It really doesn't get much better!  It started off a little chilly, with a rain cloud looming over us.  We heard some thunder which made us nervous, but the cloud blew by and the sun came out and the day became beautiful!

The egg hunt for the big kids was a little different then it was for the littlies.  Each child had to find numbered eggs.  The parents numbered all the eggs from 1-12 (each family had to bring 12 eggs for each participating child).  They then had to find 12 eggs each with 1 of the numbers on it.  This made it more challenging for them and made things take longer than usual, which is great because it kept the big kids occupied for longer.

After the big kids hunted we "hid" the eggs for the little ones (under 5 years), they also could find 12 eggs.  They really got into it and had a great time.

This is just here so I can remember how much I loved this time with Soleil.  So sweet!  I love having the ability to breastfeed my babies!

Oh my god.  I love this girl and the faces she makes.  She makes me laugh every day!

Egg toss.....Owen's partner had to leave so I took his place.  We won baby! Yeah!

We looked over to see this.  I really love 3 year olds!

Owen amazes me!

Egg and spoon relay, there were two teams.  Madeleine was on one and the boys on the other.  The team Madeleine was on won.  They got bragging rights and some toys, stickers etc
