Hanging our Easter Hats

Happy Easter from Stavanger!



Dying Eggs in the Apartment. Colby is dying eggs Norway style...in just his long underwear!!

Egg-cellent technique, Zach!

After dying 2 dozen eggs... "Do we have more?!"- Nolan
Nolan had an Easter party at school, complete with The Easter Bunny showing up in his class!





Well, we don't actually have Easter hats (1. I think they are called bonnets. 2. I don't think boys wear them. 3. We are in a temporary apartment with minimal things, Easter Hats not being one of them.), but as we sat at an ugly table in a temporary apartment in a new country dying Easter Eggs I kept thinking about the phrase "Home is Where you Hang Your Hat"...especially in the eyes of the kids, if you smash together the whole family, fun, and a holiday tradition, instantly a temporary house becomes a home. So this Easter as we hang up our (winter) hats, it really does feel like a home!

Now, if only I can convince Zach that he should hang this hat up in the apartment before I take him out in public with me... :)
