Dyeing the house for Easter

Spills happen. It's just especially unfortunate when it's Easter egg dye - blue Easter egg dye - TWICE! That stuff is permanent! At any rate, we managed to dye all 48, I mean 47, Easter eggs very beautifully, then added a nice layer of glitter on top to complete the look, and mess, in the kitchen. =-) I just love Easter.

Now, the really challenging part is where to tell the Easter Bunny to hide them! There's no way I want dyed, glittered Easter eggs all over my house. But he can't hide them outside either because, we found out our first Easter in our new house, the animals come and take them all away. Should we wrap each one in Saran Wrap to make them indoor safe? Nope, Saran Wrap won't stick to glitter. What if we put them inside PLASTIC Easter eggs? Nope, we don't have enough big ones the eggs will fit in. Dang, this is hard. Why don't we just ask the Easter Bunny real nice if he, or she, would mind coming to our house last (as in around 5:30am) to hide them outside just before we wake up and just after the neighborhood animals have gone to sleep? Yes, please!

Hudson was totally into dyeing eggs this year. He was AMAZED when the white egg turned yellow and blue and purple. Pretty exciting stuff for this two-year-old. Wait... is it Easter or Halloween? ...


Brooklyn thought the glitter was pretty cool...

 The kids discovered new color combinations...

Kendall was pretty happy with her eggs...

Hudson wanted to color one of his...

 Kendall's eggs turned out so pretty. It's a shame they will be scattered all over the yard and probably broken by little brothers throwing them into his basket...

Ella wanted each egg to be a masterpiece...

Brooklyn's beautiful eggs...
