Coloring easter eggs

The kids were really wanting to color easter eggs with grandma while she was here. Some years we never got around to it or did it after Easter because I was too lazy to want to deal with the mess. Having my mom's extra set of hands to help with this project sounded good to me.
The kids patiently waited while we got everything set up to color our easter eggs. Each kid was in charge of two colors at a time. Notice the plastic table cloth on the counter to help catch any spills. They all did a pretty good job - we only ended up with a couple of cracks. Of course we only gave them the hard-boiled eggs to color.
Look how pretty the eggs look!
My mom and I got the easter eggs that the kids colored cleaned up and put away and then we colored the rest of the eggs in the fridge while Rian put the kids to bed. Why let all of the dye go to waste, right? Plus eggs are so much more fun to eat when they are pretty!
