Why do we decorate eggs?
This year one of my kids
posed this question to me.
And in all of my awesome,
parental glory I replied....
I have no clue.
But they're pretty.
Oh and a hint for all you newbie
parents out there,
definitely do NOT use your dyed eggs
as the eggs the "easter bunny"
hides around the house.
Because
1. there's nothing like the scent of
hard boiled eggs sitting out for 10 hrs
2. dye on carpet is a pain to clean
3. then you cant use them to make
deviled eggs, potato salad and
egg salad sandwiches.
Shocking,
I did let my 3 yr old have her own
cup of dye.
Keira did pretty good and we didn't
have any big messes either.
Emma liked to experiment by dunking
her eggs in multiple colors.
Ben liked it when we helped him to make eggs
with 2 different colors on each end.
Sydney like putting secret pictures and
messages on her eggs with that clear crayon
before dunking it into the dye.
We also let the older kids try painting their eggs.
Which was very messy and never really dried.
Dad's duty was making the dinosaur
egg holders. I really liked how these
turned out and highly suggest them.
See, even Keira liked putting stickers on her
dino egg.
This egg was a work of art.
We had a great weekend with a break
from the soccer games.
This was also Larry's and mine
11th anniversary so we ditched the kids
that night and went on a date.
