Isn’t it amazing to see the world through the eyes of a child? Everything is fresh, new, and exciting. We had an amazing weekend full of egg hunts, family, and delicious food. I may even venture to say it was perfect. Here are a few photos from our day:

Dyeing Easter Eggs

Are your children on Spring Break this week? Harper is, so I am trying to do lots of activities to keep her busy. Yesterday we started preparing for Easter with some Easter egg dyeing. It was our first year to do this and I have to admit– it is NOT a great activity to do with a 28 month old! It was pretty chaotic and we made a huge mess! here are a some pics of our Eggs:

BEFORE:

i know there are lots of ways to dye eggs, but I like to keep them simple and colorful. I use food coloring, hard boiled eggs, and distilled vinegar. I used my snow cone holders to hold the eggs before dyeing so they would not roll onto the ground. This was really helpful and kept Harper from handling/breaking them!

PROCESS:

while waiting for our eggs to absorb color, we decided to try out Lauren’s cute Chickie Egg idea for lunch:

they are so cute, and Harper got a kick out of her lunch eggs– until the eyes fell off, and then she got quite upset and screamed, “OJOS!” for the next 10 minutes!

AFTER
