On Good Friday, after the cake was baked, eggs boiled and cooled, vacuum cleaner pushed down to my neighbor's house so she could borrow, the kids and I prepared to dye eggs. This is always a fun time, a little messy, a little trying at times - the kids enjoy it SO so much, though.
My table was covered in newspaper (makes for easier clean-up, especially this year!), our cups and bowls all set out, vinegar and tablets added, then the water. (And I usually struggle with having enough dishes the right size. This year I grabbed some plastic containers I had held on to and they worked great! They weren't too deep or too wide. It was sour cream & a feta cheese dish, about the 16 oz size.)
Then, we got down to business!
Ella Grace & Major made some beautiful eggs.
I forgot to mention Ella Grace decided to have her own "backwards shirt day". She intentionally put on and wore she shirt backwards ALL day! Love my girl!
These are Ella Grace's. She had some very creative ideas. The teal egg on the left has a cross made out of sequins. The purple one at the bottom has a heart (half sequins/half glitter).
These belong to Major. The blue one at the bottom has a smiley face!
And after they were decorated, Major was quick to grab a paper plate, peal and eat two of his eggs! Just like that. What a simple snack!Ella Grace followed suit. This was her favorite egg (and I think mine, too). The top is yellow and she had me put a "J" on it for Jesus. The bottom-half is red with an "R" for resurrection and a cross on it.
Have I mentioned my kids have the best hearts?!
