So dying easter eggs with the boys wasn't as glamorous as I pictured it would be in my head.
But that's okay.
I'm kinda learning to just roll with the punches when it comes to these two.
Since no one is a huge fan of hard-boiled eggs at our house (and because I knew this probably wasn't going to last too long) I only cooked 6.
That was my first mistake. I didn't think about cooking any replacements for all the ones that would surely BREAK.
And break they did!
We lost the first one before we even started, when Jack dropped it on the way outside and it did a face plant on the kitchen floor.
So then we had 5, and those poor 5 little eggs didn't stand a chance.
You'd think with all the millions of different ways there are to cook eggs, there would be one way that could withstand being mercilessly THROWN into a glass cup over and over again.
But, no.
And don't even get me started on trying to keep their hands clean. It was about .002 seconds before they both had their hands completely submerged in that awful dye.
Who cares if your hands are green and blue for days, right???...
But then I realized I was the only one who cared about broken eggs and messy hands, so I decided to just shut up, let it be, and grab my camera.
And it was a lot better after that :)
Watching the boys get SO excited as their eggs (and hands) changed color was truly hilarious.
Jack would laugh, Sam would scream and they were both completely happy and content during it all.
I love these two little stinkers!!!!

When I looked at those adorable little boys coloring eggs and loving every minute, and then looking so perfect in their Easter clothes, it warmed my heart.
Marie,
This has got to be the most fun I've seen for a long time!! I laughed out loud at this final photo of the 5 cracked eggs. Love it! Thank you for documenting it!
We always had hard-boiled eggs sliced on toast with cheese sauce over it all for the couple of days after Easter. Love it!! You should try it. Even kids who don't like hard-boiled eggs like it. Love GGG
You are such a good mom!! Nothing like Easter crafts outside and very messy fingers :) (I hope I'm this good! - someday.)
Hahaha... that's so funny! Way to make Easter fun for them. I think the cracked eggs are lovely:)
