| Easter Eggs, year 3 |
 I thought I was prepared this year. I bought the PAAS box a year ago on clearance at Target for something like .25 (must do that again this year.) But then on Sunday when I accompanied Mark to the grocery store (he hates when I go with him, because we always end up spending more money) I forgot to buy extra eggs in my haste to introduce the kids to Easy Cheese.
So I made sure to purchase eggs yesterday in preparation for today. But today, when I pulled out the jar of vinegar, I realized that there was only enough in it for one dye. Ugh... thankfully, the PAAS box also lists lemon juice as a suitable "fizzer", and, oddly enough, we happened to have a whole jar of juice, so our morning was saved. (Really, the point of all this babble is just to say that the trouble was well worth it, because this year's egg-dying process was just plain fun.)
Someone was extremely proud to be given her own egg, even if the lemon juice did sting a bit.
 
Of course, this guy's a pro by now (see March 2005 and April 2006 entries for his previous experiences.)
 
And here are our eggs (Harper's is the one of the far left.)
Happy Easter!!Labels: spring |

K, I am so grossed out that you let him touch the dye....
Honestly, I'm such a bad mom -- I would NEVER let them put their hands in it.
You inspire me my dear....
btw, my hair is totally sucking here in Utah... considering pouring some olive oil all over my head, it's gettin' bad....
