Dying eggs 2009 (4/10/09)

Welcome to the Egg Dying event of 2009 in the Zerilli household! :) "Memom" and I decided to tackle this event on our own this year with the 6 little ones and everyone did a good job, had fun, and no major messes to report. It was a bit easier this year because the little ones (Courtney & the triplets) "got it" and could work more independently than in previous years.

















Here are the finished products made by 6 very proud little ones!














p.s. "Mom tip" for you: WINDEX or LAVA SOAP will remove the egg dye from your skin or that of your little ones! Micaela was the "winner" of the most colorful hands this year! Why use a spoon to stir your egg around in the dye when you have 10 fingers to do the job!?! go figure! :)

How do you like your eggs? (3/21/08)

'Tis the season... time for dying Easter eggs! More fun on Good Friday to be had! After our visit from the Easter Bunny & egg hunt, we had dinner & then dyed eggs! This year, Anthony, Juliana, Micaela, & Courtney (my niece) got to join in on the fun! Angelia & Savanna (and Aunt Dana) were busy making "masterpieces" and the little ones were busy mixing their egg around in the bowl of egg dye. Juliana literally "got into it" and tasted the egg dye. YUP!-- I looked over at her and she was sipping the egg dye from the plastic spoon as if she was eating soup from a bowl! YUM! Check out her mouth-- see the green around it?? :) Thank goodness this stuff is non-toxic these days! As my friend Jess would say... "Another 'Mother of the Year' moment!" :)
