To Dye For

On Saturday afternoon, the kids and I dyed hard-boiled eggs for Easter. We didn't hunt or eat the eggs afterward, just did it for the fun and mess of it.

Here's the kitchen table before ...

It took a little bit of trial and error along with some careful reading of the instructions on the back of the dye kits {"always read the instructions entirely before beginning something," say I, the reading teacher} to figure out how to dip them without ruining the table.

I was using my head enough to have them take off their clothes before we started.

Look at these happy people -
And look at these dye-stained hands!
