This egg dying ritual is the worst part of the entire Easter holiday for me. As a kid it was great. As a mother? Not so much. A mess waiting to happen. But. It's a right of passage as a child. So. I cave. Every. Single. Year. Did I mention only one of my kids will actually eat hard boiled eggs?
This year I found a dye kit that appeared to not be as messy as years past. (Especially when used only when the two year old is napping.)
*note: I do not make my boys strip every time we do a family activity. This occurs naturally. And. It still does not stop them from managing to get whatever medium they are working with all over their clothes anyway. Strange phenomenon. * **Also to note: Ethan did participate in this activity. He just hurried and finished before I had a chance to break out the camera.**

A DAY IN THE LIFE
This is a simple little blog about me and my family. Nothing fancy, just experiences that make me who I am. Take it or leave it. I'll still be just me.

Sorry... I posted but I forgot some words, so it just sounded like jibberish. Hopefully this one works out better.
I can't believe you've already dyed eggs!! We're lucky if we get that done the day before. Is it supposed to be done prior to that?
Also, Brian and I dye regular eggs and the kiddos dye boiled eggs... that way we still have the fun but not so many hard boiled eggs that aren't going to get eaten.
I am dreading the egg coloring too......
Bad Mom award goes to me - I don't even attempt it with them. And don't ask how many times we've done Easter Egg hunts for FHE....as in the day AFTER Easter, since I can get the eggs (which I always manage to lose from the previous year) on clearance. For shame!
I love this way that looks less messy! I"m gong to have to find that kit! Love the looks of concentration;)
