isa and i had a fun little egg dying project this morning. we have two egg hunts to go to this weekend and the egg prep was a good activity to keep isa engaged. when both isa and sylvi are home for the morning, it's really hard for sylvi to get a good nap in. with so much going on around here, and isa literally trying to keep sylvi's eyes open (literally people. she does not want her sister to sleep), it takes alot of effort to keep isa content and sylvi relaxed. a balancing act, no doubt. so this morning we dyed eggs while sylvi napped.
on a side note-- after i explained the concept of hiding and hunting eggs to her, isa ran into the kitchen and pointed to the eggs (in the pot) and said, "Look mama! I already found 'em. They're in the kitchen!" apparently she's one step ahead of this whole game?
yea, you can't get anything past that smarty :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you Isa...they are beautiful. I love how bright and intense the colors are. That will definitely help you find them once they
ReplyDelete"aren't in the kitchen" anymore. Tell Mommy to make LOTS of pictures at the hunts. I love and miss you both. Nanny sent you an Easter basket with goodies and surprises in it. See you SOON!!! Nanny
That's so cute. I am very impressed with the eggs! Mine never turn out that pretty. They always look faded. Oh well, maybe Isa will give me a lesson in egg coloring when she gets here. Can't wait :) Have fun at the hunt. Practice a couple of times first! Queen
ReplyDeleteisa's secret to the bright eggs is to use brown eggs, instead of white. and lots of vinegar (3-4 tablespoons per color cup). and yes, she is practicing for sunday!
ReplyDeleteWhat color are her hands?? lol Funny she doesn't want her sister to sleep. How about ISA sleeping WITH SYLVI??? I guess that really wouldn't work??? Have a great time easter-egg hunting! Happy Easter to everyone !
