dyeing eggs

i just had to google how to spell dyeing. is it dyeing or dying? speaking of dying eggs...as in baby chickens who just don't make it because we like scrambled eggs so much...reminds me of a funny conversation we had with ella about that the other day. we were eating chicken and she started asking questions about the dead chickens and i mentioned that we get our eggs from chickens. the light bulb went off in her head when she thought about it. and so she wondered where the baby chickens go in the eggs that we eat...? hmmm...i quickly referred her to daddy, the knowledgeable one in the family. he said that the eggs we eat are not fertilized yet so the baby chickens have not started growing. and that was the end of that discussion....thankfully.

and so, the DYEing of easter eggs....

we had fun today. evan kept saying, "when are we going to play with the eggs?" and we had to keep telling him that we were going to "dye" the eggs. we colored some of the eggs with crayons and it makes them look cute!
