I love Easter eggs. They are a sure sign that Easter is closer then we think. The kids had a blast. Everyone was smiling and getting along and for the first time ever we had a lot of fun doing it. We used two different dying kits and I would have to say that the PAAS brand really does work the best. The other brand did not fully dissolve and I was not as pleased with the colors. Either way we have some great looking eggs this year. We used the clear wax crayon and made polka dots and designs. Daddy even made an egg that says Eat Me. I hope that you all have a great time dying Easter eggs this year. I would love to see some pictures.
I had wanted to make the Easter eggs from an earlier post but it was a little too hard this time. The kids just wanted to dig in. I am not sure that I really want them to attempt the leaf ones. I would try on my own but how many hard boiled eggs does one family need? I think that 18 is more then enough for this family. I hate hard boiled eggs as does Rob. Emma will only eat the middle and Analiese just makes a mess with them.. I do not want Abigail eating them all on her own!

Thanks for visiting my blog a few weeks ago. I have been sneaking a peak at yours ever since. I have loved all the Easter tradition posts. Thanks for the advice on the Dying kits. PAAS is the cheapest too. So that is what I will have to get. (And I guess I better get it soon.)

Eat me! I love it. I’m totally stealing that and putting it on one of my eggs!
You have such a lovely family, Becca. I enjoy your pictures even more knowing everything that you’ve gone through. Makes me smile

Thanks so much KathyB. It is not always easy but for once we all had a blast. I think that you should make an eat me egg. The kids thought that it was really funny! I am so glad that I can make you smile.
