painted easter eggs

We had a random snow day this week and decided it was a good time to dye our eggs except that we didn't have any egg dye. I was looking up how to use food coloring when Ivar said we should paint the eggs. At first I dismissed his idea because I'm a creature of habit, but he insisted, "just get the easel paints out and we'll paint the eggs!" So I blew out two dozen eggs, washed and dried them and stuck a pencil into one end for the kids to hold onto and let the kids paint. It was very messy, but they turned out so beautiful. Our traditional lilac branch easter egg tree is gorgeous this year!

I love these! And seriously? You blew out 2 dozen eggs? I'd still be in the hospital if I'd tried that. You must have some trick of which I'm unaware.
