Easter Part 1








Of course we had to begin by coloring the eggs.  We (especially Mommy) were so glad that Daddy was home this year and could help with the eggs.  We had forgotten to get dye kits and didn't remember where any old ones might be stashed so we used food coloring and vinegar.  We decided that if we got that route again, we will stick with the basic colors instead of the food coloring box "recipes" because WATERMELON and RASPBERRY ended up looking very similar - muddy purple.  And I forgot to do blue - whoops.  Also, next year we will do more than a baker's dozen of eggs.  Thirteen eggs between 3 kids doesn't go very far at all.  I was going to add some plastic ones that Nathaniel had gotten from the preschool egg hunt, but didn't do it.  As you can see, they enjoyed themselves anyway.
