| Cracked! |
Found this layout that I did about last year's egg experience. Funny to see the changes in Cole from the past year! (Funny to see the difference in eggs, too!) The journaling is hard to see so I typed it out for ya:
Things to keep in mind when dying eggs with a 2-year-old
- newspaper, preferably taped to the table and underneath the chairs, is a necessity
- a colorful liquid in a cup looks a lot like Koolaid, even if it smells like vinegar
- boiled eggs can only endure so much, especially when dropped into a cup from 2 feet above the table, or, for that matter, when simply thrown onto the floor in disgust
- there is no such thing as waiting patiently for eggs to turn colors
- eggs need to be inspected, sniffed, and handled frequently while still wet
- your helper will shake his head with a dejected look on his face and respond with eggs...bwoke when asked by Daddy about the egg-dying session
Some of you commented on the color of the eggs, and we just used the same ol' PAAS dyes that we've been buying for years. However, we did use Eggland's Best eggs this year and I think that made a difference. On the vinegar bottle it suggests that smooth eggs will take to the dye better, so maybe EB's are smoother? I think they're a brighter white to begin with, at any rate. Anyway, just thought I'd share... |

I just bought EB today at the store because I wanted a 'white' egg container like Joanna's picture! I had no idea I was actually buying Joanna's eggs too!!! LOL!! :) I know Jaden is going to ask me over and over too what the red "EB" stamped on there stands for and what it spells. :)
