Easter Eggs 2011

The kids were so excited to dye eggs this year.  We took advantage of Spencer taking a nap and decided start the fun.  I thought a dozen would be plenty of eggs, they weren't.  I think the kids could have done more like 3 dozen.  I'm happy to report no spills, and minimal crackage of the eggs while being dyed.  One a different note...both kids woke up and declared they were ready to play soccer.  I was instructed to take them to soccer practice.  Funny, since we didn't enroll in soccer this season.  Maybe we will try it out in the Fall.  Maybe it will be more successful than we did Natali last year (LOTS OF MELT DOWNS & TEARS).


Happy Easter

My house smells so bad every time I open the fridge. I know we need to dye the eggs, but I wasn't sure how to pull it off while Brynlee was awake. Thanks for mentioning nap time! :)

OH MY GOODNESS! Natali looks SO old and grown up in that picture of her by herself! The next one of them together reminds me she is still a kid but she's getting so old! And she looks like the perfect combo of you and Ben! Miss you guys!

So fun! We did eggs too and 2 18count eggs weren't enough either funny thing is none of us like hard boiled eggs!

Looks like fun. I still need to do that. But it might be hard to fit it in between nathan, Savannah, and my naps. Maybe Jonathan will have to be in charge. I want to see some of the finished products. I am sure they were adorable. Also, did you cut natali's hair. It looks adorable.

Natali looks so grown up!!! It is amazing how much they can change in a year. I just boiled a dozen eggs but I think I better follow your advice and go get more tonight.
