Easter Eggs and Monster Trucks

 This weekend has been rather eventful. On Friday we had our cousin Ben come over for a sleepover. As one of our activities, we dyed Easter eggs. Thank goodness Grandpa came over to help, because three boys sticking their hands in cups of dye gets a little busy. Leif was mostly interested in getting the eggs in and out of the dye as fast as he could, going through as many eggs as he could. I tried to slow him down, but he just kept insisting he needed another egg. I mentioned to him that he was dying his hands when he put the eggs in, so then he got onto just wanting to dye his hands as many colors as possible. It was a mess, but it let the other boys have a chance at some of the eggs.

We had pizza for dinner since the kitchen was too chaotic to cook anything. As the boys ate, they prepared for their exciting night out at the Monster Truck Show. (Austin was SO excited to go ;)

 Austin took Asher and Ben. This is the best picture he got of both of them. Asher was so excited all week long to go, but they ended up leaving early since it was late, it was loud, and it was really bright. We were a little disappointed that he didn't make the whole show, but he definitely got a lot of enjoyment out of the time he was there. He is still wearing his monster truck shirt two days later :)

Leif was disappointed that he wasn't allowed to go to the Monster Truck Show since he is just too young and too fond of sleeping. To ease his pain, I kept promising him that he and I would go get ice cream. Somehow this evolved in his head to going to the Ice Cream Show, but when the time came to go, he was too grumpy and said he didn't want to go anywhere. So we just ended up eating ice cream at home and watching a movie while snuggling. He was as content as could be.
