Easter is Almost Here!

This was the first year that we dyed Easter eggs as a family. Last year, Rea & I stuffed the fake, plastic ones with candy and the Easter Bunny took them to Grammie's house. 

This year we went all out and did both! Woo hoo! Watch out!-- Mother of the Year right here. 

Anyway, both kids loved it. And so did I. It was fun and messy. 

The Michael Jackson egg - Rea's imaginary friend

Mommy Loves Her Babies egg

Daddy's a Goofball egg 

Ri's egg

Rea's egg

Ri had a blast dropping the eggs into the plastic cups. He was tossing them like basketballs into the cups. The dye was going everywhere! 

Rea was very methodical about the whole thing. She would draw a design or write a name with the white crayon, then carefully decide which color it should be based on the egg's design and purpose. She also kept saying, "Ri, you can't have these. You can't eat them, ok? There's egg in eggs and you are allergic." hahahaha

So, these eggs will sit on our counter in their bowl until late Saturday night. At that time the Easter Bunny will drop off the Easter baskets and take the eggs off to Grammie's house again. I think the Easter Bunny is going to appreciate next year, when we are living at Grammie's... =)
