Eggs to Dye for!

Look what we decided to spend Friday afternoon doing! Yep, make a mess!!! I got off early on Friday and came home to get stuff ready to dye eggs with the kids. They had gone to see Horton Hears A Who! with Grandma, Missy and Wyatt. After they went out to lunch at Red Robin. Their bellies were full so we dove in and got out the nice white pristine eggs.........
Savannah stirs up the pink one! Did you think she would chose any other color?
Kyle loves to dye the eggs. He chose orange as his primary color. We did not have any dye spill or have anyone use their fingers instead of the spoons so all in all it was pretty boring and in less then half an hour we were done and all the eggs were beautiful spring colors.
We're all done.....look how pretty the eggs are.
Yummy, spring colors. Now we will probably not eat these on Easter or hide them. Our tradition is to hide plastic eggs. I think Grandma said she has over 100 for the kids to find. These wonderful colored eggs will wind up on our dinner table a couple of nights from now as deviled egg sandwiches, deviled eggs, and maybe a colorful spinach salad will get the treatment.

I have pretty much outgrown this tradition but still the Paas calls to me and I put down my 99 cents and a fun afternoon is on for the kids! This year I struck the jackpot and our 99 cents box had two sets of dye so we are all ready for next year.....bring it on! Maybe it will not be quite so early and we will get more creative.
