EaStEr DiPPiNg....

On Sunday morning we dyed our eggs. Cody calls this Ester dipping. The boys were so excited to do this. They were driving Matt & I crazy. I had bought 3 different egg dying kits. Cody had them all open, spread out and get'em all mixed up. After getting it all set up and ready to start we explain to the boys about being very careful. We don't want to spill the dye and make big messes. Right after all that Matt drops his spoon right into the green dye and it spills all over! Go Matt-e! He was just showing them what NOT to do!!! Smart. A visual example always works better then just explaining. Well, we proceeded to not have anymore accidents. Landen and Cody were a little rough with the eggs. There is no such thing as gently lowering the egg into the cup. You just hold it above the cup several inches and let it go! But we had a great time. Matt and I did have to remind ourselves over and over that this is fun, they are just kids, it's okay to be so excited you can't even listen, and it can all be cleaned up later!
