Easter, boys with red hair, and just being boys

Hi all….been very busy here, hence the quiet on the blog. Downloaded photos today…65! And that’s just in the past few days….herewith:

Easter eggs. Asked Paul to buy eggs to color for Easter—Eli asked special. So Paul returns….with brown eggs. How am I supposed to color brown eggs, I said, at nearly 5 pm Saturday? So, we made them after the fact…..when *I* went to the store and bought white eggs.

Here’s Eli in progress (and a can of peaches in progress, too….does anyone else besides me, and now my kids, love them? My dad fed them to me when I was a kid, and it turns out my father in law loved ’em too….as did his dad (who was the same age as my dad…my dad was OLD), so we wondered if it was something with folks who grew up circa 1900-1920?).

Here’s the finished display:

Then, Joshua had been pestering me to dye his hair red. Well….I convinced him to do a wash-in, wash-out color instead. Then, of course, Eli wanted scarlet hair, too. Actually, if they had had turquoise, I would’ve joined them….. where DOES one get a selection of more than two colors (red or blue) for this sort of thing? Anyway, hereis Joshua, with the “mom you are not going to take a picture” look, sporting the team color for the Camden-Rockport Middle School:

Then, there is the daily wrestling match in our kitchen (which all too often migrates to the living room and back) and all too often also includes dad, giving pointers…sigh….. it’s that Defective Chromosome with the Missing Leg (aka the Y chromosome, versus the intact X…..):

And last but not least, Joshua with his trophy for being on the CRMS wrestling team this year at the banquet last night:

Next: fiber and / or fur content….perhaps fur……
