This is the second year we have attempted to color Easter eggs. With this in mind, I just assumed that Marco remembered that the eggs are hard-boiled. Although this year I did boil the eggs the day before while the boys were asleep, so maybe that is why this story begins the way it does... As we are setting up the dye cups my phone rings and I innocently step away for a brief moment. Upon my return I see Marco banging the egg on the table and he states, "This one won't open." I'm thinking, "what is he talking about, of course it won't open" and "quit hitting that egg on the table, you are going to crack it!" I soon realize that this is the second egg he has attempted to open while I was away. He proudly shows me the first egg he was able to pry open, and the yolk is missing. I ask where yellow part is and he points to the orange dye cup. Lo and behold there is the yolk, perfectly round, sitting in the orange water. I just couldn't help but laugh. After explaining to him that these eggs were different and not like the ones we use to bake with, he got the picture. Soon we had all of our eggs colored, along with all our fingers. It took 2 days for the dye to finally wash of. In the pictures notice Joaquin's nose. He is now in the "needing to smell everything" phase. Other Easter activities included an Easter Parade at Marco's escuela and multiple egg hunts.
