Oh the joys of coloring Easter eggs! Adalyn was more excited to color Easter eggs than I thought she would be this year. I think it is because she had colored eggs with Mimi on Wednesday and then at daycare on Thursday, so when I mentioned it, she was READY!! Daddy tried to help make the boiling of the eggs go faster, but his help only hinder the process;( Jay didn't seem to understand why you don't have the eggs boiling on HIGH, so he turned it up to HIGH to make the "eggs get done quicker." Well, the only thing it did was make them bounce around in the pot quicker and CRACK. So, we had to boil more eggs. Nice try Jay, but leave the egg boiling up to me! Then I forgot how long it takes for those darn eggs to cool after boiling them so needless to say Adalyn was up a little past her bedtime to get the eggs done! I was a little worried about her wanting to dunk the eggs herself but she didn't-Yeah! She just pointed and told me which color she wanted and of course she did all of the wonderful art work!! Coloring eggs together as a family was fun!

How cute! Looks like a ton of fun! We skipped that part this year. I think Adalyn is the perfect age for this. Gabby would have cracked them all...just like the one they made at daycare. Ended up in the trash because she smashed it to pieces in the bag!!! Happy Easter!
