Belated Egg Dying

Well, the shamrock cookies didn't get made until the day after St. Patrick's Day, and once again we were running behind. I bought an egg dying kit the day before Easter, thinking we'd make time to do it, but with our busy schedule, we didn't have the time. So, one week after Easter on Sunday, the Jesikah convinced me that we should dye the eggs, and this time, we did have time.

They really enjoyed it, so I'm glad that we did it. Jesikah is our crafty one, and begged to do it, but they all really enjoyed it. They were supposed to get 3 eggs each to color, but as things turned out, one broke and Jarem only had two. They quickly made friends with their eggs and even named them. The faces really gave them their own personalities. :)

The girls and all their eggs

Alex's eggs were named Rocks, Booger, and Roly (of course he didn't want to be in the picture).

Playing around with the eggs

My attempt to take a picture of Jarem and his eggs. Alex didn't want to be in his own picture, but when it was time for Jarem's, he stuck his head in just as I snapped it.

Tessa set her eggs up this way for the picture. Right after the picture, they toppled over and one broke.
