Easter fun

Saturday night we colored eggs. With 5 kids coloring we cooked up 36 eggs. By the time nap and dinner was done, Paul and I thought that we were ready for the action!! I now know that we will never be fully ready for what our kids have in store. Jamahl was very worried about getting dye on his shirt so I told him just to take it off. Well, you can see what he thought of that idea. I think that 90% of his eggs were green and you can guarnetee he did not get a drop of dye on him!
McKenzy on the other hand loved sticking her hands right into the cup and any time that I let go of the spoon she grabbed it and started DRINKING the dye. Don't worry, we checked on the box and it is supposedly "safe" fpr kids!!! She did not like waiting for the egg to be done but when we pulled it out for her to see she was ecstatic!
Keyan was also pretty facinated by the white eggs turing colors. She constantly wanted the "Puple" dye. Here she is proudly displaying her work of art for Poppy. She was a little rough with eggs and dye so we had a couple different casualties along the way but most everythig survived the Ki-Ki monster.

And then there is Abagayle. She was interseted in how the dye tasted also but she preferred licking it right off of the egg. If you didn't grab the egg off the spoon, it went right onto her tongue. She always wanted "Lellow" and quickly discovered how neat it was to watch the egg spin anround her tray. She kept us on our toes as usually!

Last but not least is Sidney. She did a great job. Her favorite part of coloring eggs was to color them with a crayon. The only problem was that she colored them so much there was no room on the egg for any dye. Oh Well, everybody has to do things their own way. Sidney enjoyed watching the eggs turn colors and she liked to leave hers in for a long time so that they were very bright. When you pulled the egg out of the cup she would ask, "What is happening?"

By the end of the event we had multicolred highchair trays, 36 beautiful eggs, give or take a few sure to breaking, four frazzeled adults, and five very happy children. It's just another night at the Hogans!
