we're missing an egg because jax tried to eat it.

and then everyone went to bed...except me.
we've all been sick in one way or another
(except for ali...and that's because the lord is merciful. she doesn't suffer well.)
and jason was pretty sick saturday night.
i stayed up to get all of the easter stuff ready for the morning.

i had started some peg dolls at a peg doll party my friend, jess, hosted awhile back.
i finished painting them friday night,
and made wings, flowers and a hat that night.
apparently i wasn't tired enough, 
because i then set up an impromptu photo shoot for them.
never mind the hideous lighting *gag*.
it was fun.
they are super cute 
(in general, i'm not being prideful!)
and they're fun to make!

i wanted to paint batman, but i have sort of a short attention span...
so he got a gnome--and i love it.
it's cool 'cause he likes it & made the connection that he has a gnome hat, too.
i was kind of surprised that they didn't toss them to the side.
they actually play with them.
score one for simplicity.

love the way the dolls turned out!! and props on the spiderman, i think it is the hardest one. addox' spiderman still doesn't have a face. which he points out regularly. :)
i love that your kids are playing with them! and we thought it was just going to be a mommy thing! ;)

<3 the egg pictures!
