Eggs

We met at Joni's house for Easter egg dying. Last year I only gave the girls 1 dozen eggs to decorate and they were done in no time flat and wanted to do more. So this year they got 2 1/2 dozen eggs! It seems like a lot but it was just right. They worked very hard to make them beautiful. They tried different ways to dunk them and hold them and give them more than one color. After they were all done they ran upstairs to start playing with their eggs. They were sorting and pretending big stories with their eggs. Then it happened. Grace came down the stairs and lost control of her basket. Her eggs went rolling down half of the staircase. Even though the stairs are carpeted, they were pretty much crunched completely. She cried so hard. I told her I would buy more eggs and we could do more. She didn't want to though. She cried for quite a while but when she was done she never said anything else about them. I was surprised. They didn't really play with them anymore though.
