Easter Eggs




Theo and Tessa dyed Easter eggs. Here is a picture of them with two of their beautiful eggs. Some of them have crayoned designs, and some have more than one color. Unfortunately, hard-boiled eggs don't last forever, so we took pictures to preserve them.

When I was a little girl, sometimes my mother blew the uncooked egg out of the shell. To do that, you need a little hole at each end. You blow through one end and the egg comes out the other. You wash out the inside and let the egg dry. Then you can paint the egg. My mom sometimes painted faces of people, or bunny rabbits and made them ears. Then we could keep them until they broke.
