Dying Eggs

Dying eggs was always fun when I was a kid, but as an adult (and the one who has to clean up the mess) I don't enjoy the tradition as much. The past couple years we have skipped it. But Mi's girlfriend, KT, was visiting and she has never dyed eggs so we HAD to! Everyone joined in the fun.

We went to the Wal-Marts to look for egg dying kits but they were all out. Just like them to be out of what I want. But have no fear we found dying kits at Hudson's. I kinda went a little over board...I got seven kits! They were ten cents each. I can't pass up a bargain ;) So KT had quite a few colors to choose from for her first egg dying experience.

Since KT had never dyed eggs before she sat back and watched for a few minutes. Since Mi was busy making eggs, Poppy and PP showed her what to do!

She quickly caught on...shocker, right?!? You know she is a smartee if she is dating a Henderson...hehe

Bean got in on the fun too! As you can see, she has the artistic ability in the family.

*Now back to our regular programming*

Everyone had several eggs to dye but PP went through hers the fastest. She still enjoyed watching everyone else dye their eggs.

What are they staring at, I wonder?

KT made a special egg. She used a rubber band. Putting the rubber band on the egg made her nervous so Mi helped her out...such a sweet boy. I bet he grew up with some great sisters!

She ever so patiently held her egg in the dye.

The finished product!

A great time was had by all (and they kinda helped to clean up too!) but we missed our sweet MP joining the party! We'll just have to dye eggs with her in June :)
