Easter Eggs

I decided that this is the year to start a common family tradition: 

Dying Easter Eggs!

As you can see in the pics below, we had an almost-successful first go at it!

The eggs are cooked & ready to be dyed! (or so I thought...turns out I must not have let them boil long enough. Garrett inadvertently cracked an egg, and a little bit oozed out - oh well! Guess we won't be bogged down with hard-boiled eggs!)

Reece's first egg!

He watched his egg very intently - and only turned his fingers a little green!

Garrett's first eggs - he has one egg in each colored cup. Of course, he started with the Green cup!

Don't you love Garrett's outfit? He's in his favorite tee from last summer, which I recently pulled out of storage, his new "basketball shorts", and his boot socks, which he now calls his "basketball socks" (because that's what the Jayhawks & Shockers wear).

The finished product.

Checking out the eggs.

Both boys decided to kiss the eggs too!

We did have 1 little mishap - Garrett slipped in his chair & sent the blue dye cup flying! Most of the liquid landed in Reece's lap - and he was strapped into a booster, so it took a bit for me to free him. He came away with some smurf-blue smudges on his legs. Fortunately his arms & blonde hair were spared from the ocean blue spray!
