Micah woke up this morning with plans.
He wanted to take the kids caterpillar hunting, and then to the thrift store for silk ties — for a special Easter-egg-dying party.
When Micah runs next to Capo beach, he says hundreds of caterpillars are crossing the running path. So her took us down there, to see if we could catch a few. Instead, the kids caught at least 100 caterpillars. Navy got the most, but Dash and Pippi weren’t far behind. Scout trailed in last place. But it was like a bug catchers dream — they were everywhere in the grass patch Micah found for us!
Then he took us to the thrift store, where we got silk ties to die our Easter Eggs. We took the ties apart, then put them all out to choose one by one. Then we wrapped them really tightly in the ties, and hard boiled them that way.
The funnest part was the “reveal”.
Here are our eggs!
This was a group favorite — and certainly Scout’s favorite since it was his!
But this Frenchie egg took first place in my eyes!
But then again — it was one of mine.
