Easter
The last week and a half has been very busy, so I'm finally posting my favorite Easter pictures.
We colored our eggs on Easter Eve. The eggs we buy here are brown, like they were in Gabon. No Paas coloring kits in France, or Gabon for that matter. We just use food coloring and a bit of vinegar in water-the colors mix beautifully with the brown. The only snag this year was that the only dye sets available were red, yellow, and green. No blue. And the green was wimpy. So no lovely deep turquoise blue this year, which is ironic considering that this is our first Easter on the Cote d'Azur...
Happy little Easter Basket Girl. She wants to color all of our eggs now, by the way. I may need to make it a monthly activity. Don't tell, but her present for her birthday next month is a little Playmobile bunny set, so it would fit with the theme. She's already agreed to a bunny cake. So we just might be painting eggs in May.
We picnicked at the beach after church with some students, so I snapped this before the kids changed into play clothes.
