It’s time to color eggs for Easter at our house. Last Easter, Nelson was still living with his dog parents, so it’s his first Easter with us. Mom asked Olivia to show him how to do it, but she said she didn’t want to, so I said I would do it. One of our best posts ever was the one where I was a puppy and Emma showed me how to dye Easter eggs.
Coloring eggs is pretty easy. We have our chicken to help out because she is great at making hard boiled eggs. Mom buys the color kits each year after Easter when they are super cheap. We always have at least one on hand when it is Easter time again. Since we have bought ones in the past with the dipping cups, we simply wash them each year and then save them.
To get started on your coloring process, you need to make hard boiled eggs. Our chicken will do seven at a time, so I load her up with eggs. I have an egg holder ready to take them out when they are done and put them in the colored water.
Nelson isn’t much for kitchen work I’m finding out. He would like to eat an egg rather than color it.
I have all five eggs in the color cups. Now we need to wait at least five minutes for them to turn color.
Once we determine the colors look good, we need to take them out of the water and put them in the cardboard drying station. Nelson is a bit impatient waiting to see what all happens next.
In a short amount of time we now have colored eggs. Funny that Olivia didn’t want to help, but the orange egg has the best color – go figure! Next year, I think Nelson will skip it when I ask him to color eggs for Easter.
If you have a basket, the eggs look quite festive in one. We usually put them in the fridge and eat them as soon as Mom let’s us. Have you or your dogs colored eggs for Easter this year?

You are such a good helper in the kitchen and your colored eggs are so pretty! I eat a hard boiled egg every single day but it’s not pretty like yours.
We only do our eggs for this week. Normally we get an egg each once a week or twice if there is something to celebrate. Eggs are so yummy! Thank dog the price has gone down.
we couldn’t find the colors in the stores… maybe the cancel culture removed even the egg-color?
Oh dear. Eggs with no color are boring at Easter.
We can’t believe Henrietta is still with us! She is the best hard boiled eggmaker we know! We love this post. Maybe you’re right — Nelson has other talents!! have a great day, your friends Chester and Lilly
He is not interested in the kitchen except for eating. It was worth a try. Henrietta is an amazing hen 🙂
One- they never want to help with the fun things.
Olivia and Nelson don’t like the kitchen, but Madison and I do.
Nelson actually looks bored with the process!! We get eggs to eat, usually scrambled. I (Zachary) love them, Mia is picky.
We eat eggs any way Mom gives them to us. They are so yummy!
We would die to dye eggs at our house, but mom won’t clear the countertop off enough and Olive would get all the counter action, because she can reach higher than I can. But if something falls on the FLOOR… you can bet your sweet paws I am FASTER than Olive at eating it! Happy Easter!
We keep the floor clean around here too!
Mine Mommy hasn’t let me eat an egg yet, maybe this will encourage her to let me try one … she certainly loves them, no matter which way they’re cooked … but with no other “peeps” around we don’t mess with coloring them anymore …
Mom likes to see the colored eggs and we all get to eat them. The cat has never had an egg either.
Awww, look at you doing your Easter eggs. Great shots. Tell mom I said so.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches all around and a hug to mom. ♥
Nelson gave it a try, but it is not his thing. Trying is all one can ask for, right?
Wow so great work painting all the eggs
Thank you.

It is how you look and what you do, that is what Mom says.
The children used to color eggs on newspaper on the front porch. The cats were never interested and i haven’t asked my grand-dogs if they’d like to try.
We like to eat them and Mom likes to look at them when they are colored. It is a perfect combo.
I always enjoy your Easter Egg coloring sessions, you make it all so much fun!
It is fun for most of us but Nelson didn’t love it all that much. He just wants to eat the eggs.
Momma dyed eggs and decorated and filled em wif Grandma when she wuz home for Spring Break. I snoopervised.
We love to help dye the eggs and then we get to eat them which is the best part!
You both are so adorable and do the Easter Bunny job so creatively ~
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

I’ve been doing it for a lot of years, so I pass it on to my siblings when they are young.
How could we possible have Easter without Paas? You guys look cute AND festive. Happy Easter.
Paas has the market on coloring eggs for sure!
