thankfully, today we have a project. dying eggs. as you see in the picture above, riley takes some coaxing to get motivated but he comes around (as did his shirt- i think it got twisted when he was doing this number on the floor)
it is interesting to see how your kids react to creative projects.
sadie began by nurturing the one egg that cracked in the boiling process. she carried it around in a napkin until it cooled and colored it pink so it would feel happy.
gates began by creating his annual "earth" egg. it's pretty cool i must admit. he uses markers instead of dye.
riley is in time out as i type because he had a slight nervous breakdown because his "mario" egg didn't take shape. he claims it looks fat...its an egg...creative projects make him an mess.
one down and 9 to go. can't wait till summer!!!

Somehow we missed "The Dying of Eggs" this year, I guess we just had so much going on. Looks like you all had fun! And again....I LOVE YOUR HAIR!
luv u!
Poor Riley! I understand what it is like to not be very good/creative at dying eggs. I would prob be in time out also!
Gena, did you see the Times Daily website--there were more pics of the Easter egg hunt at church. Your kids' eggs made one of the pictures (look for the slide show on the right side of the home page, it's down there somewhere). I think they are Riley's eggs. Might make him feel better about his fat Mario egg. hee hee
