Egg coloring

It was a good thing that the weather was nice today. It meant that we were able to color easter eggs outside. If we had done it inside, I fear that our kitchen floor would have been permanently colored pink, blue, green and murky brown.

Teo, the four-year-old who lives on the other side of our dorm, came over to join in the fun. Mabel and Stella loved dunking the eggs into the cups. Stella liked to pull them out right away and put a new egg into the cup. Mabel didn't bother pulling the eggs out, she just kept plunking new eggs on top of the ones already in there. She managed to get four eggs into a single cup and then moved on to filling up another. After all the white eggs were colored, they re-dipped the colored eggs, making some really nice colors and patterns. By the time we were finished, their hands were just as colorful as the eggs. They loved it.
