It's all about the eggs

Easter Egg Dying!  My kiddos could not have been more excited.  To be prepared for this annual event, we bought 3, 18 packs of eggs.  Yup - 54 eggs to dye and color and sticker and tie-dye and tattoo.  It maybe seems crazy, but the kids absolutely love this, we do it only once a year, and the eggs were cheap.  Like $6 or something like that for all of them.  Cheap fun - so what the hell?!

All week it was "When are we dying eggs?"  "Mama, is it tonight?"  Etc.

Tonight, was the night.

They were so hungry after all the work!  They each had one to eat when we got done.

Em's tie dye egg.

Evan was really "getting into it".  He had dye all over.

Working carefully on the tie dye.  You used fabric, eye dropper, and  dye.

Yup. Tim was there too.

A tie dye boy LOVED the tie dye eggs.

While the tie dye didn't work out quite as planned, it kept the kids pretty busy.
So much fun!  It didn't take a lot of time to do all the eggs- maybe an hour and half?  That included dying, tie-dying, putting egg tattoos on, putting stickers on, making weird colors and half dipping eggs - you name it.   Plus, the snack of eggs when we were done.
