Alas! Dying Easter Eggs



Saturday was quite a busy day getting the house ready to sell. Talmage had the weekend off - the first in a long time - and so we worked hard organizing and cleaning. We took an entire trailer load to Goodwill. What a great feeling that was, but at the same time we were totally disgusted in ourselves for having so much junk! Getting ready to move has been very good for us in terms of simplifying things at home. We are determined to take only necessary things with us this time! Well, the kids played and had fun, but all day they were itchin' to decorate Easter eggs. Finally, at about 7:00 pm we decorated eggs.
I remember when I was a little girl, we just put an egg in a color and that was it. Now dying eggs has become a sophisticated art form. It was fun to watch the kids come up with their own ways to decorate each egg. Collin named his favorite egg, "Fireball". It looked pretty cool.
