Coloring Eggs

It's every child's favorite Easter tradition: coloring Easter eggs. I remember last year that I had way more bowls on the table than I could stand, so I found these egg shaped cups with dye that I got on clearance last year after Easter. They're a little too small and tip easily with a spoon resting in them, and someone tipped one right away. Guess who that was...just you wait.

So it began. Look at Jaggar's face. He was so excited.

There's his little hand with an egg. He threw one on the table and cracked it pretty quick, but he didn't slow down. He kept asking for one right after another. And look what he called them here. Notice Sage wants to blow the egg out of the shell like her talented father. I've showed that on here, right? You can see him at his finest doing that here. Now you all know what won me over.

Sage loves this, and she and Travis have probably eaten a dozen hard boiled eggs since we did these.

Beautiful girl. I can't believe how long her hair has gotten.

Travis isn't smiling because he's the culprit. I did it. I knocked it over within 5 minutes of the start of dyeing them. He was thrilled with that--that it was me and not him. :)

Jaggar and his "yes egg" and dinosaurs. Those were in his basket, and he knows if one is missing at all times. He carries them by the handfuls all through the house. We've had to issue a few mass search parties when one turns up missing because it's a total meltdown on his part.

Then we broke out the wax crayon. I still remember the egg I did for him when I was pregnant. I wrote "no name" because we couldn't find/agree on a name.

Sage's Auburn Egg. I think she colored this one herself actually.

And some of our final product. Next year I will buy a separate dye pack because the pink in this pack wasn't vibrant at all, and we know we need good pink eggs.
