Let the Easter fun begin!! Today we kicked off the holiday weekend with a little egg dying. Nevie was especially excited as she is finally old enough to join in on the action. In reaching our perfect 21 eggs (out of 24...not bad for three young kids), each kid had his/her own methodology:
Katie was the semi-professional, utilizing some of the same techniques she had seen from Mom and Dad in the past. She deftly wielded her little egg spoon, mixed existing colors to make new ones, and created bi- and tri-colored eggs. The other two kids can only hope to match her expertise someday.
Michael chose a much more in-your-face method. He by-stepped any spoons or other paraphernalia by simply dunking his entire hand in each cup of dye. By the end of our coloring session, he basically looked like the Incredible Hulk.
Finally, Nevie showed her newbie stripes with her beginner methodologies. She would just grab an egg, throw it as hard as she could into whatever color was near her, and immediately ask for another egg. Miraculously, she did not crack a single egg, but the splashes emanating from her cups were enough to dye much of Mom's shirt.
