Happy Easter!

Sweet Blog Version: The kids and I decorated Easter eggs yesterday. The boys had so much fun, and we got several really cool looking eggs out of it.

Reality: Anna screamed and threw such a fit that Jared eventually took her out of the room. Aidan kept wiping his dye-stained fingers on his clothes to clean them off. Austin dropped six or seven eggs and cracked them. He also kept dropping the eggs into the water from far away so that the colored water splashed everywhere. Aidan and Austin fought about whose eggs were whose, whose eggs looked better, whose eggs were the coolest color, etc.

Outcome: The boys had a fantastic time, and so did I once I relaxed and let them be kids.

I didn't realize that dyeing Easter eggs could be so stressful until last night...so, I feel your pain!

BTW, your Easter eggs are so vibrant! You should be very proud. :)
