Dying Easter Eggs

Dying Easter eggs as a child use to be so much fun. I could not wait to make the eggs all kinds of wonderful colors. Using the dip method of making the half and half colored eggs. This memory was brought to my attention yesterday as I was getting all of the coloring cups ready. Aubrey was helping me and she said "Dying Easter Eggs is my favorite thing to do all year." I on the other hand was not so excited to start this project. With one word why....Beau. Steve had to work, so I was doing this project alone with the 3 kids. The girls know what to do, but this was really Beau's first Easter to really have the desire to be involved.

We had a good rythym going for a few minutes. Beau caught on that we were putting the eggs in cups.

So as you can see, he put 4 eggs in the yellow dye cup. Somehow that was not working all to well, and he noticed that it was not right. So as I turned to get a paper towel for the girls to wipe their tongs off....

Beau had dumped the yellow dye onto the table. So that was the end of his Easter Egg coloring project. The girls finished up the 4 dozen eggs we bought.

They did a wonderful job! I love the way Easter Eggs look. They are so bright and colorful!! Hopefully next Easter we will have more success in getting the youngest up to speed on "How to dye Easter Eggs".

(So thanks Steve for leaving me at home all alone with the kids to dye Easter Eggs. I think I am out of town next year!!! LOL)
