Coloring Easter Eggs

Earlier in the week I posted a question on facebook asking my friends if anyone knew of a synthetic egg for Bobby to color for Easter.  I really didn't think that it would go well with real eggs.  A couple of friends posted links to EggNots which look awesome and I may just have to order some for next year.  One friend also suggested dying wooden eggs from Michael's.  Grandma Carolyn came over Wednesday to help Bobby and me color some wooden eggs...

We had to soak each egg multiple times, take it out of dye and let it dry and then put it back in the dye, to achieve the vibrant color.  Not sure what happened to the poor purple egg, it looked a little sad.  Bobby wasn't interested in the whole dying process, he just wanted to take all of the eggs and shuffle them together in his hands. 

Grandma Carolyn and I decided to try to add some bling to these eggs.  So we got out some pretty papers and got to work...

Bobby wasn't too impressed with this craziness, he just wanted to play with the eggs...

Grandma Carolyn worked hard creating a pretty bunny to Mod Podge onto her egg....

Oops....turned out a little too big.  Back to the drawing board!!

The whole egg decorating session went downhill quickly.  All that Bobby wanted to do was "ride in car" and he let us know over and over and over and over.  Yes, Bobby we hear you!!!  Daddy came home from work and said, "Here's some money, go pick up some dinner."  Bobby finally got to go for a ride in Grandma's car.

He still wasn't feeling well and this was him after dinner...

I didn't feel too well either.  I was so super tired that all I wanted to do was LAY DOWN!!!  I filled the kitchen sink with hot soapy water and put the dirty dishes in that I don't put into the dish washer.  I typically do this and let the dishes soak anywhere between 5 minutes to a couple of hours before I do the dishes.  However, I went to bed early and left the dishes in the sink.  Boy, I hate it when I do this...who wants to wake up to a sink full of dirty dishes!

Bobby decided to "help" Mommy with the dishes and put the dyed wooden eggs in the water too, so they got an all night bath.  No, I didn't get my camera out and capture the moment.  I just sighed and threw the eggs in the trash, then drained the awful colored dish water.

I didn't get my camera out on Thursday, shocking I know, so apparently Thursday didn't really exist...or did it??!!!

Yay!!  It's finally Friday.  6 days down and 4 to go.
