Lent is finally over. Let the candy eating begin. We participated in way too many egg hunts and have way too much candy around here.
That's the look of someone hopped up on candy.
Annalise shared these off colored twizzlers with me and Jim. Green Twizzlers? Ick. She was pretty happy about the purple one.
Then things started to get a little silly. We started playing with the eggs. Evie had both on her eyes until one fell out.
She wore these ears from school most of the afternoon. I think she is still hunting for more sugar.
Green crazy eyes.
I got in on it. They thought it was hilarious that I couldn't see so they were trying to sneak candy while these eggs were on my eyes.
Annalise couldn't get the eggs to stick to her squishy face. Instead she showed us the baby chick that she found in an egg a preschool. This was my favorite egg all year. She is still toting this chick around making nests here and there.
She did figure out how to balance one on her face.
and Evie got one to stick to her chin
Annalise's sugar high.
After dinner that evening, we colored the eggs. Actually, the kids did all the work. the only thing I did was to measure out the vinegar for the color tablets to dissolve in. The box said the tablets would dissolve in 3 minutes and then you could add water and start dying the eggs. It must have been the longest 3 minutes ever and Evie had to listen to hear if the tablets had stopped fizzing.
Eggs in progress. I did buy one of those kits but only because I was completely out of food coloring from some birthday party science experiments. I also didn't think they would get too excited if we dyed the eggs in onion skins or cabbage leaves.
The work finally begins.
In honor of Earth day, Evie made a cool blue and green egg.
Annalise stickered and colored all the eggs she could get her hands on. Thanks for the rubber band reminder, Aunt Kathy. they turned out nice and striped. A good time was had by all and we have already eaten 6 eggs. Just enough left for a nice egg salad for lunch.
