Easter and the Dying

The girls have been asking for weeks to dye the Easter eggs. Of course we kept saying "sure", "of course", "We'll do it before Easter." Well all of a sudden it was the day before Easter and there were no eggs to dye. Joe went out late Saturday afternoon and purchased white eggs for the kids. They waited and waited and waited. After it had passed 7:00, already past their bed time, they finally got to dye eggs. At 7:30 the coloring was dissolving and the girls were going out of their heads. Sometimes I wonder though, who likes it more the girls or Joe. In the end we had a dozen colorful eggs that no one will eat and I will throw out a in a week. They all had fun though.

Once the dying was over the kids got ready for bed. They were both anxious for the bunny to arrive. Julia decided this is her favorite holiday EVER (which she says every holiday) and Lexi said "I am SO EXCITED to go to bed so the Easter Bunny will come." They were so happy that they drifted off in what felt like minutes. They were most likely dreaming about chocolates, egg hunts, and how many sweets they could slip into their tummies with out getting caught. No matter what they were dreaming about you know they were dying for Easter to arrive.
