Easter Eggs!

Anna, Sarah and Charlie came over to dye Easter eggs this morning. We had a fantastic and messy time.

The whole kitchen smelled like hard boiled eggs, which (I never realized before) totally reminds me of Easter. We spent about an hour prepping for the dying -- boiling eggs, mixing those little tablets with vinegar, setting out stickers, crayons and other accessories -- all for about 3 whole minutes of dying.

The kids were grabbing eggs and throwing them (literally) in the cups just as fast as their little hands could move.

So, we ended up with 18, mostly cracked, beautifully vibrant Easter eggs for the Bunny to hid on Sunday morning. Oh, and Eleanor ate about three, Henry and Anna each peeled one and tossed them around like little balls, so maybe it is only 12 eggs for the Bunny to hide!

Is that your laptop right next to the die? You are a brave woman on so many levels! You continue to impress!

Yes, it is our laptop -- and you'll notice the large blue spot on the table cloth next to the laptop...a very near miss!
