easter eggs {our first egg dying experience}

 Levi was super excited about dying eggs. 

This is the first year we have attempted egg dying.

I tried really hard to sneak out and set everything up while he was playing outside...but he caught me. 

 He was pretty patient...for a two year old. 

Except that little hand of his kept sneaking into the egg bowl.

 "My dye this egg, Mama?"

 He only broke a few eggs before we started.

Not bad. 

Griffin would have joined him in stealing eggs but his little hands couldn't reach that far.

 Say cheese, cute little boys.

 It was finally time to start and Levi started grabbing eggs as fast as his little hands could.

 I tried to show him how to drop the eggs carefully but he preferred to throw them in and make a big splash. 

A few more eggs were broken in the process.

 Once he had an egg in each color he got to stir them.

 He stirred and stirred.

 After about ten minutes two seconds he was pretty sure his eggs were done.

 I talked him into stirring a little longer.

 The whole time he kept saying, "Done now, Mama?"

 Griffin was almost as impatient as his brother. 

He wanted to touch everything so badly.

Next year you can help too, baby boy.

We managed to keep the eggs in the cups long enough to get a little color on them.

I think they turned out pretty great.

And Levi was so proud.
