Easter Eggs

It is Easter time!  For years we have dyed eggs with the boys at Easter.  I wondered this year if the boys would feel they were too old to be doing "such things."

Friday after Adam got out of school (Austin had the day off for Good Friday, Adam and I had to go for snow make up days) we got together with Grace and colored eggs.

 I really think the boys like to help show Grace new things-like how to color eggs.

 But this year, we have Jason.  Jason had never colored eggs before, so the boys were able to show him how it is done as well.
 The eggs turned out in very vibrant colors!  We have stopped using the kits you buy and doing vinegar and food coloring.  The colors are much brighter, and it uses items that are usually in the kitchen anyhow.

 Adam tried to act out the Humpty Dumpty story with his eggs.

Here is his poor Humpty.  He looks a little beaten and battered from his fall.

This year was the most stress free egg coloring that I can remember.  The boys knew what to do, and I could just stand back and watch them have fun!
