Last night the kids had their first ever experience coloring Easter eggs. They had a great time!
Today we ate some of our creations for lunch. (
Benj is allergic to the white of the egg so we actually eat hard boiled eggs a lot. I just take the white off for him and he eats the yolk. Loves it!--I know, weird.) Anyway, I told the kids we were going to eat Easter eggs for lunch and they immediately began planning which one they wanted to eat. Seth had drawn "Bob" and "Larry" faces (
VeggieTales characters) so
Benj decided he wanted to eat Bob and Tali wanted Larry. Lunch was ready, they were sitting in their seats, and the time came for me to crack & peel their eggs. Benjamin had an absolute MELTDOWN. He could NOT understand why I wouldn't let him eat "Bob." He cried big, sad
crocodile tears for at least 5 minutes as I tried and tried to console him, explaining that we can't eat the colored eggshells just like we can't eat white eggshells...etc. Poor guy. What a letdown. (Meanwhile, Talia was happily chowing down. Evidently it wasn't an issue for her.)

Your table and chairs look identical to ours.
We dyed eggs for the first time this year, as well. Asher is allergic to both the white and the yolk, so he's never been allowed to touch an egg, period, so of course he's fascinated with them. All was going well until he realized when you dropped them, they cracked. Despite explaining he was going to need a very large needle in his leg if he put it in his mouth, he couldn't take the pressure. So the eggs made deviled eggs for small group.
