Dying Easter Eggs has always been one of our favorite traditions. Normally we color eggs at my mom's house, but since she was in Minnesota this year visiting her sister, we dyed eggs at home. In addition to the usual plain dyes, we tried a new "tie dye" system. It was really fun to try a new way of coloring eggs. It involved wrapping the egg in damp cloth and snapping it inside a plastic case (called the "tie dye press" - though there really isn't any pressing involved). Then we used this little dropper to squirt dye through tiny holes in the plastic onto the wrapped egg.
After applying the dye, you then unwrap the egg. They really turned out pretty!
Simon, of course, had no interest in dying eggs - though he would have loved to get his hands in the dye if we would have let him! Instead, he mostly just played on the floor, content to play with his toys while we had our Easter Eggstravaganza. He's such a happy, smiley baby! And that's saying something, since he's teething right now. One of his top teeth finally broke through, and I'm sure the next one is sure to follow very soon.
Hope you all had a very happy Easter!!

Your eggs turned out so pretty! Should I feel bad that we didn't even color eggs this year? None of us will eat them hard boiled, and I am firm in my belief that Deviled eggs are disgusting, and in fact, the Devil. Last year the girls were mad that the real ones didn't have candy inside them and left them in yard for me to find and pick up. This year we just did the plastic ones.
I don't think it's a problem that you don't dye eggs. If you won't eat them, then it's a total waste. The plastic ones seem to work for you - and that's all that matters. Fortunately for us, the entire family adores deviled eggs so we always use up our hard boiled ones pretty fast. I made 18 deviled eggs (whole eggs...so 36 halves!) and they were gone before we even sat down to Easter dinner.
