a use for those leftover Easter Eggs

I made these on Easter Sunday night but I wanted to have a grassy bed for them so I had to wait for my chia sprouts to be big enough.  At this length they are a bit too bitter to eat as sprouts but they will be cute on our table for a little while.

OK this is really a no brainer but I still love them.  I was sitting on the couch Sunday night recovering from Easter and I was holding some plastic eggs.  That was when I noticed there are holes in the top and bottom and they totally remind me of salt and pepper shakers.

You have to cover the holes on the bottom with tape or something else.  If you don’t like the idea of tape touching your salt and peppa, just make a tiny bit of salt dough and push it into the bottom part of your egg.  I am talking like a jelly bean size of dough.  Smush it through the holes in the bottom and it will stay put, hold your salt and pepper in and it also makes it stand up (think weeble wobbles).

I then took some scrapbooking rub on letters and put an S and a P and voila.  Oh you should put a teenie piece of clear tape to keep the egg from opening.

One year later 2010

Last year I posted our Easter picture with the previous years on this blog with the title of “One year later”.  This year I am posting today plus the previous 2 years so you get to see how much the kids have grown and changed in the past three Easters.
                              Enjoy, I can’t believe how much they have grown
