i have about ten posts to catch up on, starting with the events that occurred on easter weekend, so bear with me! we decided to color eggs on friday because saturday was going to be a busy day.

i boiled the eggs while ellie napped and we waited until ryan was done working so he could take pictures. she’s been so into crafty things lately, i knew she’d loooove the whole decorating thing, and i was right! pure fascination.

she had a great time turning the eggs around and around to make sure there was enough color on both sides. the only thing she had trouble with was being patient. she wanted to drop them in and take them out instantly so we could do “more, more, more!” so i had to explain, of course, that getting nice, vibrant color takes time. “WHATEVER, MOM” is what i’m sure she was thinking.

she did a fabulous job and the eggs turned out beautifully. after they dried, we put stickers on them. what fun!

can’t wait to do them again next year <3
