Egg Day 2010

Today was a very full and fun Egg Day!

It got off to a good start with Chris and I sleeping in to about 10:30! So I made a batch of fresh strawberry waffles with real whipped cream for brunch (which also meant I didn’t have to make lunch)!

Then I got the first two batches of Jello Eggs going while I boiled some eggs for decorating later…

 

In order to ensure a plentiful Egg Day for next year, the boys and I filled the chicks’ food and ran to Del’s to buy some more grit for them. No pressure girls, but I am so looking forward to decorating brown eggs next year!!!

Gretel should lay already dyed Easter eggs

    

we’re pretty sure that Otis won’t be around for next year’s Egg Day

Coloring eggs is our favorite Egg Day tradition! And this year none of them broke while boiling!!!

the easy way to decorate eggs

William tried a new method by rubbing the dye off the newspapers lining the dining room table

some of our eggs had these lines already on ‘em after they were dyed???

me and my favorite

Just before supper I baked my favorite lemon cake for Easter dinner tomorrow at my parents’ and a batch of M & M cookies just because I felt like M & M cookies… :o)

The guys played a game of Settlers (which really doesn’t have anything to do with Easter but is really fun) while eating jumbo jelly beans (which does make it Easter-y)!

   I love Egg Day!!!
