Easter Egg Time!

It is Easter season again, and that means coloring eggs! Olivia is an old pro at this by now, but this year Ethan was an active participant as well. We colored 13 eggs, of which the kids ate 2 and then decided that they were done with eating them. Does anyone really eat all of the eggs that they color? Anyway, here we are preparing the eggs. I am happy to report that only 2 cups of color were spilled...one by me and one by Ethan. Not too bad.


Ethan's favorite color is blue, so that is pretty much what he favored when coloring his eggs. These little tongs were fantastic for the kids (thanks mom!)...so much better than those awful wire spoon things that come with the kits.

Ethan's hands were an interesting color of olive-y brown at the end of the experience. When it took too long to pick up with the tongs, he would just dunk his hand right into the dye. At least it washed off in the bath that night!

Ethan's reaction to being told that all of the eggs had been colored and that part was all done. He really did enjoy being a big boy and helping with the eggs.

However, after the coloring, it was time for stickers on the eggs!

Cheese!

Happy Easter from Olivia and Ethan!
