Egg-cellent Egg-stravaganza

It's snowing outside but that didn't stop us from coloring our Easter eggs today! I got up early this morning and hard-boiled the eggs so we could get right to the fun part after Grace came home from daycare.

I took this just to prove (and remember!) that we had snow a few days before Easter!

I covered the table with newspaper, covered Grace in her painting smock from Italy (Thanks, Nana!), and we got to it!

Here is the result!

Grace seemed very pleased with her eggs. I thought the colors were much brighter than I remember from when I was a kid. We counted them and named all the colors. She knows "yellow" which sounds like "ye-yo" in Grace language!I wasn't sure what I was going to do with all these hard-boiled eggs. I don't mind them, but I certainly don't want to be eating them every day for the next week or so! I thought maybe I could make egg salad. But, then Grace started eating one (I showed her how to peel it)....she actually liked it. Problem solved!

One thing is for sure...we are not hiding them. With the black hole that still exists in this house, we are bound to lose one and "find" it later, if you know what I mean!
