Coloring Easter Eggs

Today was the MUCH anticipated day: the day we dyed Easter Eggs!!! Sage has only asked about one million times if we were going to do it. She LOVES it. This was also Jaggar's first year to participate, and that was an experience to remember. Here's some pictures from our endeavor.

Yes, they are ALL waving. ha.

Her hands were so covered in dye that I didn't think we could ever get it all off. Oh well, it's great to be 6, right?

Then there's Mr. "Ball. Ball. Ball." What do you do with a ball? Yes. So, he couldn't NOT have someone touching him and intercepting him at all times. And he is without clothes for good reason. I wasn't going to give him an opportunity to ruin an outfit.

Sage is very serious in her work.

Pretty.

I still remember coloring eggs when I was little. Today was a little more hectic than I remember it being. :) These two loved it though.

Notice me grabbing his hand before it plummets into the green dye.

Sage and I coloring some eggs while Jaggar looks for an open door of opportunity.

She loved that wax crayon to write on the eggs. I need to look back at them and see what all she wrote!

Sweet boy

When we were finished, he decided he'd like a cupcake. :) Tomorrow is Easter/Resurrection Day. Speaking of that, I have a set of "resurrection eggs." Inside each egg is something that helps to tell the real story of "easter," like a whip, nails for the cross, a crown of thorns...we did those when we were done dyeing eggs, but I didn't take any pictures. I'd really recommend those for young kids to help them learn the real meaning of why we are celebrating tomorrow. They are super cute and fun.
