Coloring Eggs

The Saturday before Easter, Michael and I walked the girls over to Randall's (in our new stroller), to buy white eggs and dye to color them. As soon as we got home, we boiled the eggs and prepared the dyes. This is the picture of the table set up before the girls began to dye their eggs. The entire prep work took about one hour - the girls were so excited - Giuliana especially since she loves to do art work. They knew that something was going on - finally all of the preparations were ready and the girls could begin coloring.

I showed the girls how to color the eggs first so that they could do it themselves after. Gisella is watching and learning.

Giuliana is putting stickers on the eggs. She did an awesome job decorating.

Here she is coloring the eggs all by herself!

It took us so long to get everything ready and it took the girls about 10 minutes to color the eggs, place stickers on them, throw the eggs on the floor, get dye all over their hands, get bored and move on to some other disaster. Sigh.
