And more colored eggs.

It wasn't all just "grown-up eggs" at our house. Though I had my fun with the onion-dyed eggs in the morning, the boys still got their fill of coloring eggs with Philip in the afternoon. I stayed out of their way, only boiling the eggs before, and snapping a few pictures during. ;-)

And they had some nice work to show for it when they were done, too:





As Philip readied the table (putting plastic bags underneath everything, as we had no magazines or newspapers), Jack kept trying to snag an egg:



Even after making the dyes in turn and being anxious to start, A.J. was still waiting a bit more patiently on his end of the table.








Eggs-in-waiting.

Such vibrant colors! Great dye work!

Thanks! I'd take credit, but I didn't do any of the work!

Awww, the boys look like they had fun..Philip included! Lol. The eggs are such brilliant colors! So very nice. :D

They were done with everything in about ten minutes. (Versus the two hours or so I spent playing around with mine. *grin*)

wow your kids have patience.. ours were never that vibrant i never had the patience to sit and wait for them to get that dark. lol and are those Longaberger baskets i see?

They waited about five minutes for each batch of eggs to soak (they did two batches). There were done with the set-up, coloring, and then then clean-up in about fifteen minutes altogether. Not too bad. ;-)

And yep. I sold Longaberger for four years, and there are baskets ALL over the place. All of our dishes, glasses, flatware and decorative items are Longaberger pottery as well. (The ivy green crescent-shaped pieces around the candle in the center of the table, for example.) Love the stuff - couldn't possibly count how many things are around this house!

I thought that looked like one of their baskets. I have a few around here. dan's step-mother sells it. They live in Ohio close to the factory too that was something they told me i just HAD to drive by while i was in ohio my first time and it is intersting the whole basket shape.

Lovely. Looks like y'all had a great time. Yay. :) And the onion dyed eggs are stunning. You + egg dying = rockage.

Well, like I said, *I* didn't really have much to do with *these* eggs. But thank you anyway. :-)
