Dyeing Easter Eggs












Avery loved coloring the Easter eggs last night. We got her the Disney princess pack, which is why she's wearing the crown in the top picture.

We had spoons in all of the glasses, but Avery liked the hand approach better.

I really love her facial expressions. She is so entertaining and is full of personality.

We tried to explain to Avery that she needed to be gentle with the eggs, but we're still working on that concept. I would hand Avery an egg to put in the dye and she would toss it in, sending little waves of dye out of the glasses. I'm glad the table was covered. It was fun to watch her enjoy herself so much. A couple of the eggs suffered some cracks. I think Avery got a little over excited and squeezed them just a little too hard.

Al and I were a little worried about the dye coming off of her hands. As you can see in the last picture they were pretty covered. But it actually came off pretty well. I was trying to imagine how Avery would look on Easter Sunday in her pastel dress with bright blue and orange dye up and down her arms.
In the last picture Avery is showing off her dyed hands and kind of doing "touchdown." We thought it was appropriate since she was wearing her Beetdigger shirt.
