I Would Just Dye For Some Eggs!

Last sunday, it was Palm Sunday, the start of Holy Week. Every Palm Sunday my family likes to dye our easter eggs. we have been doing this for years. the last couple of years we have actually procrastinated to the day before easter, but this year we were good (mostly because of my nagging.) lol.I love doing little things like this that get me in the holiday spirit, whatever holiday it may be. Plus its a nice bonding experience for our very busy family. i took lots of pictures. and i show them to you now.

This is me and my crazy insane brother getting hyped up for the epic fun that is about to ensue. lol

This is my thinking face. lol. its the one i use when im thinking about what awesome colors to use on my egg. i think that one ended up being half spring blue and half denim. it actually turn out really cool. way better than my brothers steelers egg.

These are my parents working diligently on their eggs. i get my perfectionist genes from my dad. and therefore he is way to focused to acknowlege the camera. lol. My mother on the other hand is more freewilled. very go with the flow. i dont think she preplanned her egg at all. I guess they compliment eachother that way.

me and my bro. he has grown to really hate his smile. he thinks its goofy. its a rare thing to actually see him give a straight smile in a pic. he either frowns, like so, or sticks out his tongue or does the trademark facebook face. i love him anyways.

i was happy that eric showed up and actually did an egg. He's never dyed them before so this was a first for him. he did.....ok. his egg was alright. ;-)

Well i had a great time and it really got me in the easter spirit. This will be a rough week for me since i will be fasting from thursday till sunday morning. This is something i do every year and its a great way to cleans the body physically and spiritually. it helps me remember the true meaning of easter.

tomorrow i am going to a girls night with some friends which sarah regretably will be missing since she has class :-(

But i promise to take lots of pictures and tell you all the happenings in my next post.

Have a great night all.

I spend about 8 hours working on paper easter eggs for my kids to play with and keep. They absolutly loved them and didnt tear them to shreds. That is a major accomplishment for six year olds lol (ILTTC).
