Fun with Eggs

There was an Easter egg hunt at Alex's school today. Younger siblings are always invited to join in the fun, and both boys were very excited. They each showed me their new baskets multiple times before the hunting began. It had been rainy and cold the day before, so the play yard was too wet and the eggs were "hidden" in the church. (If you call sitting on the pews hidden.) Alex had no trouble with the concept and charged ahead. Zachary needed a little bit of guidance but collected a few on his own too. Then the school kids sang some songs, during which, Zachary cracked open and egg and found out there was candy inside. He was excited and kept saying "candy in there!" I didn't get any pictures, but I'm hoping to set a couple from a friend.
A couple of days later, we colored our eggs at home. Somehow, the only egg casualty occurred while I was draining the boiling water and one smashed into the sink. The way the boys were dropping them into the coloring had me worried. They didn't have a lot of patience to let the eggs develop into rich, dark colors, but they definitely had a good time.
