I Speak "Boy": Pre-Easter Post

Finished product

Since I am guessing it may take me more than the same day, to post our Easter day fun, I thought I could at least get our egg dying adventure up on the blog for you.

I bought what I thought would be a really neat egg dying pack, Golden eggs. When I opened it yesterday I realized that all it was, was a painting pack, and there was no dipping of eggs. I shot up a quick prayer, stripped the boys of their shirts and took a couple of deep breaths hoping this would work, and they wouldn't get too frustrated in the process.

I ended up cutting two egg cups out of the egg carton as holding devices, to help the kids steady their eggs when they were painting, and it worked nicely- no perfect, but great. Towards the end of our painting session, I realized that I had more dye left and that I could probably make the egg dying water cups that the kids could dip their eggs in. A quick google search and indeed, I had everything needed- dye, water, vinegar. So we held out the last 4 eggs and did some dipping! next year no golden eggs and, I will be sure to read the instructions on the back (but hey, at least I had enough sense not to buy the marbled egg pack....yeah that is something for teenagers or artists HAHA!)

My hands are finally clear of the dye, elijah too, Lucas got it the worst, with it completely covering one hand and up both arms. The color is almost gone but he looks "bruised" on his arms hahah.

Happy Easter all, and I will try to get a post up tomorrow...we will see...
