We nearly
didn't color Easter eggs this year. We got home from our Logan trip at 7:00 pm and Josh and I were TIRED! I had all of these grand ideas for our Easter egg art, but in the end Josh took one for the team and helped the boys color their Easter eggs and I think I sat on the couch with a glazed over expression on my face the whole time. Oh well, the boys were thrilled with it and that is all that matters right?
See, look at that expression...thrilled :)
Plus our egg coloring kit came with smiley face stickers. I think if we had let them put those on white eggs it would have been a successful night.
I am also lucky that my boys like to EAT boiled eggs, because we have A LOT of eggs!
Isn't Palmer's necklace cute? He drew a picture, strung it on yarn, tied it into a necklace and is a pleased as punch over it (where in the world did "pleased as punch" come from? Don't get me wrong, I love to say it, but what about the punch gave someone the impression that it had a particularly "pleased" expression-deep thoughts by Emily Nelson)?
Great little egg people.
So in the end the moral of the story is that I need to plan to color eggs sooner than the night before Easter and not so much after a trip where we are all (meaning Josh and me, our kids are seldom tired) tired. But I will conclude this post as I usually end all of my posts...it was fun :)
