Easter Egg Dyeing!

We did our Easter egg dyeing on Good Friday with Grandma, Jeff and Lori and the kiddies. Besides the traditional dyeing we also had sponge painting, bubble wrap painting, an aluminum foil technique (which wasn’t great), and decorating with stickers and colored sugar. We had an egg-travaganza (pardon the pun)! Even little Matea got in the act.  And Lexi and my feet unintentionally got involved when we spilled a whole cup of blue dye on ourselves. Despite several showers my feet are still tinged blue! Oh well, we still had an eggcellent time! :)

Ready, set, dye!IMG_2048

Not quite blue enough, it’s going back in!IMG_2049

Bubble wrap painting was awesome though! You painted the bubble wrap and then rolled the eggs across them.IMG_2070
