Coloring Easter eggs can be a real mess if Olivia is involved. The more we try to get her involved in kitchen type things, the more we realize it might not be her thing! Thankfully, the panic over eggs seems to be over, so we once again have eggs at our house.
For the first time ever, Mom thought we could try doing our work outside. Thankfully we did, because right after we got all set up, Miss Olivia spilled the orange color all over the table and the deck! She is rather clumsy with her big feet.
Speaking of feet, she also managed to get orange all over her left front paw. It was so bright out, you can barely see it, but she had orange paw highlights for a while.
I think she felt bad about the accident. See how she is shrinking down to my size for the photo of us after the spill? She said she didn’t want to color eggs anymore.
I love to color eggs, so I was ready to do it all myself. Olivia didn’t even want to wear her rabbit ears and decided to simply watch what I was doing. Having done this several times before, I know how to put the eggs into the color, wait, then take them out.
We have a box of ninety eggs, but Mom said we only needed to color thirty. Let’s see…five colors, thirty eggs, I need to color six eggs of each color.
Under Olivia’s careful eyes, I managed to get the eggs colored. Can you see I’m kind of over it all. It is supposed to be a fun team project, but I ended up doing all the work this year.
Olivia was insisted on trying to eat them! This did not make me happy. I guess she is young, and coloring Easter eggs is not really her thing. She sure does love eating eggs, though! We are super thankful we have so many eggs. No, we are not hoarding eggs. My sisters and I get them mixed into our food and we go through several dozen each week. Mom has been buying eggs in a case for over a year now.
We’re joining Brian’s Home Blog in the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop! Visit some other blogs to see what they are thankful for.
even with a mess this is a nice thing what takes us back to childhood… ;O)
Coloring eggs has always been an Easter thing for us. Olivia just wants to eat eggs, not color them.
Your colored eggs look fabulous and you girls are doing a fantastic job and don’t worry, Olivia. Your orange foot won’t last forever.
The color was gone within a few hours. Hopefully she will have more fun with it next year.
We’re so glad your Mom was able to find some eggs! Wow, you really did a lot, Madison, good job! We guess this is going to be your project only in the future, though maybe when Olivia matures a bit she’ll do better at helping. 🙂
Bailie and I both loved it as youngsters, but Olivia is turning out to be a food lover, but not a chef personality. That’s alright, it may change in time too.
WOW! That is so many eggs! You did a great job, Madison, and you look adorable. Thankfully the spilled egg color was not purple or blue. Where was Bailie? XOXO, Sparkle
Bailie was napping. She gets frustrated with Olivia and didn’t want to be in the whole mix. We use a lot of eggs at our house, and Mom uses them hard boiled, which is perfect.
You two pup-bunnies are too cute, can’t get enough of those pup-bunnies! Good job on the eggs, that is a LOT of eggs.
Thank you. Well three of us eating eggs with our food means we need a lot of eggs, and sometimes Mom eats the eggs too.
How do I love you funny bunny girls? Let me count the 30 egg ways…
A group of funny bunnies indeed!
That was so much fun girls, you did really good on those eggs! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
We’re so thankful to have eggs again. For a while there Mom was grabbing a dozen here and a dozen there.
Looks like you had fun doing something so different. It’s still hit and miss around here with eggs in the grocery store.
Right now, eggs seem to be in stock here and we hope it continues. Now toilet paper, flour, yeast, many canned goods are still seriously lacking.
We eat lots of eggs too!
Eggs are super yummy, right?
When my kids used to do this, i made them go on the porch and spread newspaper everywhere, it usually is a bit messy.
Maybe cooking and helping with things like this will become Olivia’s thing as she grows a bit older and has more experience.
We have a feeling it might just not be her thing as Bailie and I were into it at a much younger age.
It may be messy, but it’s ever so fun. I’ve enjoy coloring many eggs through the years.
Have a woof woof day and Thankful Thursday. My best to your mom. ♥
It can be fun to make them really fancy too.
You were just having so much fun coloring the eggs. We just love the mess and this brings back memories of being a kid for us. Such a lovely post and fun photos. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
It is a harmless mess, unless you really wanted orange eggs, LOL!
Wow Madison, you are such a pro!!! Will you get to hunt for eggs on Easter morning??
xoxo,
Rosy, Jakey & Arty
We will just get to eat them in our breakfast. Our egg hunt will be on the blog tomorrow.
Pretty eggs. I’m gonna do some for the first time in a long time today.
Coloring eggs is a calming project if Olivia isn’t involved.
