Eggs...

The kids look forward to

dying Easter eggs all year...

We always blow out the eggs so we can

pick out a few 

special ones to save in the

Easter memory box. 

 This is the first year that

Elsie was able to really help

blow out the eggs...

We blew out 18 eggs...

and I'm happy to say that not a single one broke!

 James tried his hardest to

blow out an egg...

he got a little of the egg white out...

then just kinda washed his hands

in the egg whites.

yuck!

 After the eggs were all blown out,

Daddy mixed up the

dye!

The kids were SO excited!

 Both kids were sporting some

pretty colourful fingers

for the next few days!

 Ever wonder what it would

look like to add

about 4 dye tablets to one cup of water?

Well, now you know:

 Beautiful eggs for the Easter egg tree!

 After the eggs were dry

we got out all the glitter,

colourful sharpies

and some glue...

our mission was to have some

beautiful eggs!

 James got a little

carried away with the glitter...

and I got a whole tube of glitter

flung on me!

Memories, right!?

 Pretty certain that about

14 out of 18

eggs had the name

'Elsie'

written on it!

 Angelina and Daddy watched the

egg decorating...

 James new favorite face to make...

a dumb/upset look.

 Every good

Egg decorating session ends with a few

karate moves!

I didn't get a picture of

this year's egg tree...

But we have a lovely big branch

hanging on the ceiling

above the

chalkboard...

It gives the house a

fun Spring feeling!
