we finished our easter by checking one more thing off our “while we live in boston – adventures” list!

we attended a boston celtics game at the TD Garden as a family! husband, myla, and i had gone to a game together last month but the other three kiddos hadn’t had the experience yet.

fyi: if you attend a game, pre-game until the end of the 1st quarter there is free face painting near the doors for sections 14-15. they also hand out free shamrock balloons in the same spot!

sela was on the edge of her seat every time the celtics dancers took the floor.

the easter bunny hopped on by at nighttime on easter eve again, this year! i can still hear the squeals and screams of excitement when they saw his note taped on the front door—

the only bummer, it was so dark outside that i none of my pictures turned out + the videos i took are little spots of flashlights bobbing around in the blackness of night. + more screams of, hey! i found one! there’s more on the trail! ahhhhhhhhhh! mom look! omgosh, what’s on the porch? dad, i need to find six more! the bunny brought us gifts! ::wink: it was a very beautiful moment in time.

the silly bunny gave kj these weirdo glasses.

easter eve afternoon, we were in tears from either laughing or pain… using *these.

*cascarones (kas-ka-ro-nez) are beautifully colored eggs filled with confetti and small toys traditionally made in mexico and central america to celebrate easter. easter confetti eggs are often broken over someone’s head as a symbol of good luck. the cascaron or confetti egg tradition is said to have begun in italy using hollowed eggshells filled with perfumed powder.

it seems myla is going to be very lucky! ::smiles::

last year, i had a spring party to plant wheat grass. this year, i could not find wheat grass seeds anywhere in new england. so, i chose to plant wheat berries {almost the same thing – i also used them for this recipe} instead. the only difference: you must soak wheat berries to help them start to sprout. this is not necessary with wheat grass seeds. fyi: you should be able to find wheat berries and/or wheat grass seeds for about $1/pound at most whole food/natural grocery stores.

our kiddos look forward to this little planting tradition every year + i like using the wheat grass for decor on easter sunday.

tips:

we used baby food jars to help with dying the tips of our color blocked eggs.
i found it to be easier to just hold the eggs with the aid of a spoon for color blocking.
thick rubber bands work much better than thin rubber bands.

we were inspired here, and here.
