Coloring Easter Eggs

Easter is just a few days away so Mommy and Daddy thought it would be a good idea for Jackson to decorate a few eggs. After all, we remember the wonderfully fun times we had coloring eggs during our own childhoods and we want Jack to have great memories as well.

(Let us just get this out of the way now...the reason we have wonderful memories of dying Easter eggs as children is that we didn't do any of the prep work, any of the delicate drawings on the eggs, nor any of the clean-up! Thank you Grandma C. and Grandma L. for your hard work when doing projects like this for us as kids as it lets us have the memories we do!)

Back to creating childhood memories for Jax... Daddy had visions of drawing neato things on the eggs with a wax crayon and creating mini works of art to display. Daddy must have forgotten that he can not draw. His egg drawings resulted in shaky, uneven messes. Mommy managed to pull off several nicer looking solid color eggs. Jackson was happy to simply splash around in the dye buckets with his egg holding stick, mixing colors and painting the newsprint that was covering the table.

So in several days Daddy will get to crack open and eat the strangely colored hard boiled eggs and hope that Jack remembers this evening as fondly as his parents remember coloring their Easter eggs long ago!
