Egg Dyeing

So this year we had to try something new by default.  I hard boiled two dozen eggs, but there was a mishap and they fell out of the fridge and crashed on the floor.  Onto my back up plan-ready to dye eggs.  

 Hairnets on and ready to go.

Problem number 1 with these eggs was that they were hollow so they did not sink.  They had to be held down the whole time to make them stay submerged.

 Problem number 2 was that they did not take the color very well.  As a result the kids had to keep them in the dye longer.  I think more dye got on their hands than on some of the eggs.

 Taking a break to play with Abby.

 Very focused.

Lorelai and Miller used leftover packaging material from a box to make boats and baked potatoes one night.  Sadly Lorelai's boat was found to be unseaworthy but she still had fun building it.

 Ahoy, mateys!

Dan brought home some frames from work and I have been trying to figure out what to put in them.  I decided that the artwork that the kids have been bringing home from school would be perfect.  The first two are Miller's and the last on in Lorelai's.

In Lorelai's art class they had to make one of the Mice on Main.  I think she did a great job and showed amazing attention to detail.
