Dyeing Easter Eggs

This was the first year that we dyed Easter eggs with Audrey. She actually got to dye Easter eggs twice!! Once with her cousins, Kaleb and Abby, and then at home with Mommy and Daddy. The Wednesday before Easter, we went to Nani and Papa's house for dinner. After dinner, we cleaned up and prepared the table for some Easter egg dyeing. I was a little stressed out that Audrey would try to drink from the cups, eat the eggs, or spill the dye all over her. Well, she did not try to drink from the cups of dye or eat the eggs, but she did spill the cup of blue dye all over herself. Poor baby! We scrambled to get her clothes off of her and into the wash, and then we quickly started to scrub the blue dye from her skin. The bright blue might have faded a little bit, but it didn't completely disappear from Audrey's legs and booty until about three days later. Oh, the memories!! The second time around, with Mommy and Daddy, Audrey was a pro and knew exactly what to do to get the job done.

Kaleb and Audrey can't wait to dye Easter eggs!

Abby is not thrilled about having to play with a plastic Easter egg!!

Audrey trying real hard to dye her first egg pink.

Starting to enjoy the activity a little more.

Still, very focused though.
