Turning Eggs into Easter Eggs

This is one of our very favorite family traditions, so we had to make sure it happened when everyone was home, which is no easy feat in the springtime.  So, on the Saturday before Easter, between 5 soccer games (Tommy had two), Run 2 Pieces, General Conference and errand running, we dyed our beautiful eggs beautifully.  It's getting less messy and there are fewer days-long stained fingers as the years go by, which is nice, but also kind of sad because it is further evidence that my babies are growing up in spite of my efforts to freeze time.  When once upon a time it was "how many eggs can we get to look nasty greenish-brown by mixing all the colors," the current trend for how the boys like to color is "how bright can my egg get if I leave it in long enough."  Which is a nice improvement.
