When you are snowed-in at home, is there any better activity than Easter egg dyeing?? How crazy, right?? Easter eggs and snow don't traditionally go together, but it definitely makes my Papa Cha-Cha's saying hold true..."There's always a chance for frost and cold until after Easter, so don't plant anything in the ground until after."
Mac and I began while Drew was still napping. I saved a few eggs for Drew to color once he woke up. Drew and egg dye require all hands on deck! haha
Getting a little help writing
Dropping them in...
Now my little man is up and ready to color!
Amazingly, we dyed all of Drew's with no resulting cracks!
Masterpieces on eggs...Mac's very own cross drawing and name and Drew's graffiti egg
Time for stickers!
I found these cute face stickers and knew they'd be a hit. Both boys love any type of sticker.
Hard at work, with a beautiful snowy view out the window
A few finished products. Only one out of the whole dozen ended up prematurely cracked. Not too bad, I'd say!
Thursday night "Mr. Grabby" pulled a mug of hot chocolate off the counter onto his face and back. It totally freaked me out but we rushed him to the tub and let cold water run on the burns. He was incredibly brave. Didn't even cry, though he did shiver from the cold water. Bless him. If you look closely, you can see the red marks on his nose, forehead and cheek that remained the next day. I am so thankful that the mug had been sitting for at least five minutes cooling...it could've been a disaster!
