Coloring the Eggs

We had the girls decorate their eggs with crayons this year. It worked well for K, but L just poked holes through the shell and pretty much destroyed her eggs. After K and M decorated what was left, there were only about 10 eggs. I wasn't happy with so few eggs for them to find so after we put the kids to bed we boiled some more and dyed them the old fashioned way.

K is drawing herself with an Easter basket under the clouds.

L before she jabbed her crayon through the egg.

All the pretty eggs before they were hidden.
M used a pencil to do a few of his and they turned out quite nice.
