This is rather late, but I've been pretty busy this week. Oh yeah, do you like the title? Cheesy, I know, but it fit the topic pretty well and I thought it was pretty clever (especially for me)! :) Pacen and I dyed eggs on Saturday. We did a little experimenting (eggs-perimenting) this year. We put rubber bands around some of the eggs and then dyed them. We also played around with the clear crayon that came with the dye. We ended up with some pretty cool looking eggs!
Pacen asked me to draw a peace sign on an egg for him so when I did I wrote "Love" on the other side. He didn't know it until he dyed it and when he saw it he said, "Mom! Why did you write 'Love' on the back!" Then he rolled his eyes and let out a big sigh. Apparently he's getting to the age where being "mushy" is not "cool", especially if it's your mom who's being "mushy".
So, I believe there is no such thing as kids dyeing eggs without dyeing themselves too. Pacen's hands were a dirty green color right off the bat! They just got darker and dirtier looking as we dyed more and more eggs. Actually, this year his hands didn't end up nearly as dyed as I've seen them before! Maybe it's because his hands are bigger and don't go all the way in the dye like they did when he was little. Or maybe it's because he's more careful now that he's 8. Yeah, okay, I'm going with the first thought! :)
