Dyeing Easter Eggs

It's tough to fit it all in.  I mean, you get the kids to school, sports, and activities.  You make sure they are fed.  You try and give them all attention and validate them within spare moments throughout the day.  But how do you remember to fit all of the fun stuff in there, too?  Carving pumpkins, dyeing Easter eggs, making Christmas cookies . . . .

I find it hard to remember to make time for these fun activities.  Somehow, they always feel like a chore because naturally- I leave them until the last minutes.  Regardless of my procrastination, we always manage to have fun together as a family.

We are blessed to have really nice weather where we live.  It makes carving pumpkins and dyeing eggs so much easier to be able to do it outside.  Messes are virtually non-existent as you can just hose off the table or sweep things up.  I love it.

This year, Easter is coming early!  We really never do anything with our dyed eggs other than eat them.  We don't hide them, we enjoy them!  The kids loved dyeing the eggs today and each had their own style.   Writing on the eggs is always a big hit and this year was no exception.

Claire went for the mustache them as she is totally into mustaches these days.  Matthew went for Mario and Luigi as he is obsessed with his Nintendo Mario Kart game.  Emily just thought it was cool to have her name and a basketball on an egg while Michael, worked hard on getting the right colors and hues on his egg.

We had a great time tonight with our eggs and are looking forward to enjoying them in the days to come!
