Our Easter - Mūsų Šv.Velykos

In February Isabella started asking me to get ready for Easter. I told her that it is little bit too early to do that. Time flies so fast when you are busy. I had not noticed when two months were gone. Three days just before Easter Isabella came to me and said: " Mommy, I'm very upset...we don't have any Easter decorations! You don't care about Easter!"

...well we had to get busy...

baking, coloring, crafting, cooking...

 {egg dyeing with Kool-Aid and wax}

{ ta-da..our modern Easter eggs!}

 {Easter morning bunny stopped by and left a basket filled with goodies}

 {...and also he hid a lot of eggs in our "no grass" back yard}

  {went to a mass at St.Mary's}

 {with papaw}

 

I hope you and your family had fun celebrating!

XOXO,

Painting Žibutės (Kidneywort) with watercolors

March 25th and it snowed again in Columbus, OH!

Spring...where are you?! 

To overcome negative thoughts about spring Isabella and I decided to paint

 favorite Lithuanian spring flowers Žibutės (Kidneywort).

 {learning how to blend colors}

 {trying to make not too muddy}

 {ta-da}

XOXO,

And with green grass and bursting trees

Leans to the sun's kiss glorying,

And quivers in the sunny breeze ~ Julian Grenfell
