Eggs Eggs everywhere......

With Easter coming it means the kids dye eggs. I know that I should spend more time telling them about Easter and why we really celebrate, but I just enjoyed eggs this week so far. Although Samantha did correct Maria about Palm Sunday so some learning is happening. This year we invited over Maria, Bella, Janis, and Aspen to dye eggs with us. I told everyone if they wanted to keep their eggs to bring their own. I also told them I was starting at 10 am with or with out them. With 5 kids and 2 of them nursing schedules are everything. So at 10 am Melia, Kellina, Samantha, and I dyed our eggs. It was fun! Then Janis and Aspen came close to 11 am. They had raw eggs and Samantha hard boiled them and then helped Aspen to dye them. Janis was in and out by 12. A fun fast visit. Then Maria and Bella came closer to 1 pm. They had a crazy morning that involved a neighbor walking in to their apartment in his underwear and t-shirt. He's not the most stable person. Kids this is why you should always lock your door!! Anyways, she also had raw eggs that Samantha hard boiled and then helped Bella dye. Maria got to decorate with Bella after many a phone call to many a people. In the end it all worked out well. There was never fighting about eggs because there was never to many kids trying to do it all at once, Samantha is now an expert in the art of egg dying, and everyone has pretty eggs for Easter. Samantha is most excited that we will have hard boiled eggs to eat with salt and eat in sandwiches. Thanks for the fun memories everyone.
