Fun with eggs

Today's fun included boiling eggs, coloring them, and then hiding plastic ones. Big Squirt sat on the counter watching the eggs bubble as they came to a boil. Little Squirt had a lot of fun making orange and green eggs. Big Squirt was in charge of the other colors. Both girls were much more independent this year with this process. In total, we colored 2 dozen eggs. Only a few were cracked, but we decided to color them anyway. I'm looking forward to some egg salad sandwiches for lunch this week.



Cool Daddy-O and I then put small pieces of candy in the plastic eggs. Big Squirt searched for pink and purple eggs and Little Squirt searched for yellow and orange. We also hid 4 bonus blue eggs in exceptionally tricky spots. We hid them twice and then the girls hid each other's once. After that, they came inside and sorted out the good stuff inside the eggs.


Tonight I prepared some food for our family dinner tomorrow. Perhaps I'll include pictures of the desserts in tomorrow's post....made 3 so far...one should look very "Eastery" when it's done.













The highlight of the day? Well, that was finding perennials popping up through the spring soil, including: daffodils, tulips, peonies, fern leaf peonies, irises, and sedum.

WhooHoooooo.... It's SPRING at last!
