To back track to a couple of weeks ago...Mackenzie had a craft day at school. I put another Mom in charge of this one and she did an amazing job of creating an idea and gathering all the supplies for the kids! The kids made flower pots with tissue paper flowers in them. They even got to paint the pots! Obviously, this was a fun day at school for all of us involved!

One day last week, I surprised Mackenzie after school. She had been begging to dye Easter eggs, but we didn't have a kit yet. So, Josiah and I went to the store and bought a kit while Mackenzie was at school. Josiah didn't remember (from last year) what Easter egg dying was all about, so he was excited to try it out, too.

Both kids dying their eggs. I had boiled one dozen for each child. They had so much fun! (I did, too!) :)
Hard at work with their eggs.
Josiah checking out his blue egg.
A happy boy with blue hands and lots of blue eggs!
Mackenzie (artsy little girl!) busy dying an egg half one color and half the other color!
Josiah proudly displaying as many blue eggs as his hands could possibly hold at one time!

Josiah, shortly after displaying his finished carton of eggs, discovered you can crack them! (Mackenzie was cracking hers and eating them. Josiah was cracking them for the fun of it!) He took this yellow egg and cracked it on the side of the garden box, then he threw it on the paving stones until the round yolk came out of the middle of the egg! (Yolk in his left hand; Egg white and shell in his right hand.) He was so proud of his cracked egg. Then, he proceeded to crack (ahem, destroy) eggs until I had to remove his carton lest they all get cracked (mutilated) in the yard!
