Decorated Eggs for Easter

Okay, well, it's a little late for Easter but I found these eggs when I was cleaning out the attic.  It's a project Vito and I worked on together when he was about seven.  We blew out the eggs and then decorated them with the materials provided in a kit I purchased.  It was a lot of fun and he was pretty proud of what he made and so was I.  A great day.

Scary Bunny

Vito and the Easter Bunny. I was amazed that this went so well, he's actually smiling. Past attempts at pictures with Santa meant tears and possibly screams. The terrible twos are stretching into the threes. There are daily power struggles between Vito and I. I'm terribly frustrated at my inability to control my young son. I try time outs, sending him to his room, spanking but nothing seems to work. I get Bell's Palsy and feel very ill. The doctor recommends reducing stress. I stop babysitting my friends daughter and try to relax but money is so tight. I take the exam for a postal job and put in an application at a local factory.  In six weeks I've recovered from the Bell's Palsy but my husband loses his job. My Dad and Stepmom help by paying me to clean their house. My husband gets another job but all the financial stress is tough on our marriage.
