I didn&#8217;t even bother for the last couple of years, but I thought she might enjoy it.  Well, that&#8217;s an understatement!  She&#8217;d drop the eggs into the dye (we had a couple of casualties with her method) and say &#8220;Bye, bye egg!  See you later!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately I couldn&#8217;t find a &#8220;normal&#8221; egg coloring kit.  You know, the Paas tablets that you dissolve with hot water and vinegar?  No, there were several varieties of another brand: glitter eggs, tie-dye eggs, painted eggs&#8230;  So I bought the kit with the paints.  Carrie was delighted.  Me?  Not so much.  Check out the kid&#8217;s hands:<br \/>\n<center><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20070407_egg_hands.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/images\/carolyn\/20070414_egg_hands.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"347\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nPlus, the dye colors just didn&#8217;t look the way they should.  The purple was magenta and the green looked exactly like the blue.  I wound up putting the &#8220;purple&#8221; eggs into the blue and the &#8220;green&#8221; eggs into the yellow to make them actually look right.  Yes, I&#8217;m picky about my colored eggs.  Next year I&#8217;m buying a Paas kit if I have to go to ten different stores to find one!<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"easter_eggs.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/images\/crafts\/2007\/easter_eggs.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"210\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nBesides the eggs, we also made some cut out cookies of bunnies, chicks (or ducks), eggs and flowers.  Carrie still only dabs a tiny bit of frosting on her cookies, but now she likes to pile up as many sprinkles as she can on that wee little dollop of frosting.<\/p>\n<p>Now I just have to try to make her very colorful hands a bit less colorful before church tomorrow&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today Carrie colored eggs for the first time.
