The Eggs That Died...

I know it's not Easter anymore, but it's still Spring, so I'm ahead of my usual blogging game! I wanted to recap our Easter egg dying experience because it was so much fun this year! Full of blog-worthy hilariousness :)

Last year, I was way too controlling during our egg dying. This year, I decied to back off and let the boys have their messy fun, and it was so much better! Here's what happened...

Carter could have done this for hours. He put the eggs in...took them out...put them back in another color...took them back out...and so on...

Our mini muffin tin turned upside down with paper towels on top worked well for holding the eggs.

Miles HAD to get his hands on this activity...literally...he loved to throw the eggs. He only got one egg, and he threw it over and over and over again. To him it was nothing more than ball practice!

As you can imagine, this last picture ended in us mopping up a mug full of dye - good thig we had no clothes on and a cover on the floor! (I said I backed off...not that I didn't take any precautions :)

This is the difference between a 2.5 year old's egg and a 11 month old's egg :)

Carter peeled and ate an egg - very unusual for him - he doesn't like eggs. He did not, however, eat the "cheese" :)

At the end, we still had a total of 13 eggs and they were all different colors (I was thinking they would all be brown by the end...)! We had 11 cracked (some totally smashed) and 2 whole eggs, but we had a whole bunch of fun memories!!!!

Here's a fun video of the experience.
Please excuse the water running in the background...I forgot I had turned it on!
