Since the rest of the weekend is going to be crazy, we decided that we needed to color the eggs tonight, or it just wasn’t going to happen. So I made sure that I had plenty of eggs boiled up ahead of time, and after dinner we got to work.
Most of the older kids took their time about decorating the eggs. Trying to draw just the perfect design with the clear crayon, or waiting extra long before pulling the egg out of the dye so it would be nice and dark, or holding it partway in one dye then flipping it over to dye the other side in another color….not Adam though….he kept dropping eggs in the cup of dye in front of him, and as soon as he saw that the color took he was done with that egg and ready for the next one. He was blowing through the eggs really fast! We had to tell the others that they better speed things up if they didn’t want Adam to dye most of the eggs orange! 😛
Ya, I snapped that picture then we stopped him from trying to drink it. That would have been one nasty surprise if he had actually got some in his mouth.
The first casualty of the evening was an egg that Tyra was working on. It jumped out of her hand, or rolled off the table (we’re not clear which) and hit the ground. As you can see she was distraught over it.
