Easter Eggs

049Earning the  Purple Heart of Motherhood today, I dyed Easter eggs with Kyla and Piper (with Wesley strapped to me for an extra long nap).  We did take advantage of a sun break to do it outside, which was fortunate as Kyla spilled the first cup, Piper the second, and it was a race to dump out the third.  [Note to fellow dyers: the Paas classic kit had great stickers, excellent yellow dye, good blue dye and extremely poor pink dye.]

I read a tip about putting the eggs into whips to protect the eggs from toddler hands.  And it worked.  Piper only cracked the eggs after she took them out of the whip!
