Coloring Easter Eggs…an activity that I (as an adult) hate, but my kids love. So I do it. With a smile. But I still don’t like it. I don’t really know why.
Maybe it’s the mess, or the potential for there to be dye all over clothes or furniture, or the fact that the eggs never turn out the way I expect, or the fact that I am an extreme perfectionist and control freak and there are way too many variables that need my attention. I’m probably going with the last one.
It’s not that complicated, I know. Water, dye and vinegar in a cup. Put the egg in, take the egg out. Voila. But somehow, it always seems way more tedious.
But like I said, we did it with the kids, and I recorded the event in photographs for the blog.
Hey folks! Here I am coloring eggs for the first time ever!
Hold on while I check out my pink one. There may be a problem.
Nope, all is well. No Worries. How are you doing, Sis?
I am just waiting for my eggs to get darker, brother.
Hello. Are you still here? I’m still waiting for my eggs!
Oh my, isn’t this exciting!
Molly and a very trilled Daddy wait for eggs to get to the right shade (Are you noticing a trend here…there is way too much waiting in this activity. Hmmm…maybe that’s why I don’t like it.)
Here’s Mom pretending thinking that this the most fun she has had in weeks.
Oh how egg-citing it is to wait for our eggs!
Finally it’s time to remove my eggs.
Woo hoo! Look what I did!
Sam is thrilled with his results.
Molly has waited so long for her eggs to finish that she has fallen asleep.
Two proud kids.
High five, sis!
Overjoyed with their results.
Nibbling eggs like little bunnies.
So there you go. Coloring eggs done for the year. Now we have another 365 days before we can do this again. Yea! Darn.
