Easter Eggs

So I love dying Easter eggs. It's so much fun. And they're so pretty. Bob humored me last year and helped... but... this year we went over to Rustin and Sharon's to dye them with Grace. She was much more enthusiastic about it. *grin*

Maybe not quite as coordinated.... that is green dye all over the table.... hehe.

Bob kept Eden entertained. He did put one egg in the dye, just for the picture. *grin*

And the finished product.... so springy. Sadly, I already used half of them to make breakfast casserole. Which was/is good, but not nearly so pretty.


Saturday I finally got the house all clean. It feels so nice... it's crazy how fast it gets dusty. And then we went to Communion.


We also spent the weekend trying to discourage some robins from building a nest on our window AC. Um... that would not be a good place for your eggs, Mrs. Robin. We knocked it down 3 or 4 times, and they kept coming back. Bob finally made a pyramid thing out of cardboard to set out on top of it so there is no place for them to even land. Hopefully they'll be done with nest building by the time we actually need to use it! I would prefer not to smell birds when it's 90 degrees outside...


Blessings.

This made me chuckle. We went to Mark and Katelyn's this weekend for dinner, and the activity for the evening was dying Easter eggs. She was slightly beyond excited (if you can imagine that) :)

pyramid thing? Robert needs a gun.

ooooo, next year we should have a girls night and dye Easter eggs!

Robert has a gun, however, it's not at our house, nor is it legal to shoot in town, nor is it legal to shoot songbirds. Sadly. Or I would use it on the rabbits and squirrels.
