Or You Can Make Brown

We colored Easter eggs again this year.  Nat was, not surprisingly, totally into it, albeit a little bummed with the quality of the stickers in the Paas kit.  Mostly she was bummed because we couldn't get them to stick to the eggs.  No matter, she got over it when it was bath time and she was on to the next activity  (soaking every wall in the bathroom with splashes from the tub).

She helped me get out plastic cups for dye, carefully put the dye tabs down in each cup, and counted to three (or seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twenty, twelve...) as I poured vinegar in to make the colors.  We got our station all set up and it was on.  It was a race to see how quickly we could dye a dozen eggs.  Rather than let the eggs really soak in one color, she preferred to let them soak briefly, then remove them, give them a good shake, and drop the egg into another color.  Repeat.  So, instead of the vibrant colors the package promised, we got several variations of the color brown.  Festive!

let me at 'em!

Happy Easter, all!
