Dying Easter Eggs


Easter got off to a great start this year with a fun round of dying Easter eggs.  I never really think it's a good idea to let a three year old splash hard boiled eggs into various cups of  colorful dyes, but once a year we throw caution in to the wind and just go with it.  In my nightmares, I can see waves of colored vinegar/water splashing on to the walls and the floors.  Kasia stands there, dripping from head to toe in a blue and red dye, and Kara informs me that there is no way we can now sell Kasia's clothes because that stain in never going to come out.
Fortunately, in real life, things turned out a little better.  The only real damage happened to the eggs as Kasia got a little carried away and instead of gently placing the eggs in the dyes, she threw them in with such force that it would make Nolan Ryan jealous.  Apparently the dye doesn't work on the cracks in eggs.   Who knew?  But she did manage to keep the mess down to a minimum, and in the end had an egg or two that she could be proud of. 

She was very proud of this egg.
