Egg Dying and Pumpkin Carving.
Don't get me wrong. I love to do both of them but in a very, VERY controlled environment. Naturally, this takes all of the fun out of it for Ty and the kids.
BUT! Every year I find a will and a way to put my OCD behavior aside for a small time frame and partake in these holiday traditions. And, if I learned anything from last year's Egg Dying experience, it was to boil more than a dozen eggs for the kids to share. As generous as I thought I was being this year (getting them EACH 18 eggs to dye) it still wasn't enough!
Who knew?!
So, as I prepared myself for this year's Egg Dying, I was able to relax quite a bit knowing that I'd have my parents here visiting for the week. That meant I'd have two extra sets of hands and eyes to help out. Fabulous! Dad and Mom, thank you again for your patience and help with all the mess, ummm... I meant...the FUN! fun, Fun, FUN! :-D
The kids had and "egg-cellent" time!
Pink eggs and no other.
She wouldn't touch the blue and heaven forbid the orange. Pink and only pink!
At first, Carter was really bothered by the smell.

"G... why am I holding the yellow one? The pink one is mine."
Serious business.
"ooohhhhh, LOOK at the PINK!"
Imagine that, Whitleigh smelling food. Standard.

I don't like the mess either, but two tips I have found...cover your entire table with black trash bags so that nothing can leak through and stain your tabletop, and get the cheap wire whisks at the dollar store and stick the egg inside for little ones to dip into the dye (easier than having them balance it on those flimsy egg dippers :)
