Ugh….Dying Easter Eggs

I hate dying Easter eggs. 

It is one of those things the boys want to do every year.  I know…it is an Easter ritual.  It should be fun!  But it is just sooooo anticlimatic!  We don’t do any crazy artsy egginess, so it’s basically dropping an egg in dye, waiting 5 minutes for it to get enough color and then taking it out.  Whoohoo!!!!  It’s like watching paint dry.  Or watching grass grow.  Or, well, dying Easter eggs.  I know…I’m and Easter Scrooge or Easter Grinch….whichever. 

Just getting started.  Fun!

Fun is over….eggs just sitting….waiting.

And….the same thing happens every year.  During egg retrieval, something gets knocked over.  Not fun.

Off the table and onto the floor. Really not fun.

The guilty party….not having fun anymore.

Dying Easter eggs.  It’s fun….or not.

I hear ya, we don't color eggs anymore, since my daughter is 13, but it's not really my thing either. We didn't do anything creative or cool, just colored eggs; how original.

Seriously...why do we do this crazy Easter activity? It stinks, it's messy, how "not fun"?!?! It was nice of you to try though! :)
