Easter Egg Dye

I really wanted to dye Easter eggs with Laurie last year, but decided against it because... Well, because she was only 15 months old and I knew in my heart it would be a big mess.

This year, at age 25 months, we still might have been a little young. Daddy and I picked out beautiful shades of pink, blue, green and yellow for our egg dying. We carefully laid out all our supplies, towels for wiping up spills, even a drying tray. We dutifully attempted to show Laurie how to carefully place our eggs in the cups, leave to soak, and then scoop them out with our wands.
















It did not go well.














Laurie plunked all her eggs in the cups at once, continually pulled them out, with her fingers, to check the progress. And then placed the eggs back in different cups. Most of our eggs are varying shades of green, with one dingy brown, and all are cracked. My fingers are all stained and Laurie is green up to her elbow. How sad. Do you think the Easter Bunny will still visit with such pathetic Easter Eggs to offer?

Aubrey seems to share the same dyeing philosophy as Laurie . . .
