Dying Easter Eggs

We had a lot of fun together as a family dying Easter eggs yesterday. The kiddinkidinks did really well with being patient and often told us to put an egg back in the dye so it could get darker or brighter. Guess A and I aren't the only ones learning that particular virtue!

Can you tell which ones started out as brown eggs? They are some of my favorites!

Talk To Me

I blog for myself and my kids and I would do it even if no one else cared, but I do like to hear from you (and think it's a wee bit creepy of you to voyeurize us without my knowing it). So, please leave a comment from time to time, or email me anytime at xawilsons@hotmail.com. Much obliged, I'm sure.
