Easter Egg Decorating

We decorated eggs on Good Friday with the Kler cousins over G-ma and Pop-Pop's house. I had hard boiled a dozen and I'm not sure any of them came home without a crack. Leah's technique was not very gentle and most eggs were tossed between colors several times. Leah started out with a cruise around the house on one of Pop-pop's latest Ebay finds.

Let the decorating begin!!! We had a traditional decorating kit, a sponge paint kit from G-ma and the extra spectacular Spider-Man kit from Crawford. So, there was lots of dunking. Leah first wanted all the eggs to be pink. Then, eggs that were already colored, she moved to other colors for a second dunk. And don't bother with the stickers... she'd just peel them off and throw the egg into a new color.


Crawford loves to pretend he's Spider Man and often speaks with a super-hero voice. Here he is shooting a web. Look out!

Jeremy and Carter came from work a bit later. Occasionally on a Friday, Carter gets to go to work with Daddy and check out all the construction equipment. This is quite a big deal to him. He lays out his clothes the night before and comes in early in the morning to wake up Daddy saying "It's time to go to work Dad"....it's sort of like Christmas. He usually gets treats from the girls in the office and spends time driving all the toy trucks and tractors around the building. Jeremy claims to be able to get work done while he's there. Anyhow, G-ma saved Carter some eggs so he could decorate when he got there. His favorite was orange.

Everyone got in on it. Maggie sponge painted some really nice ones and Pop-pop helped too!! I think the adults had just as much fun.


Now, we're all set for the Easter Bunny!
