We bought a $4.99 PAAS Easter Egg Decorating kit and had hours of enjoyment.  Take that, recession!

Specifically, we decorated eggs because this one CLAIMED she has “Never in all my life!!!” decorated eggs:

Poor, poor deprived Emmy.  Actually, poor Singing Sally, who I am POSITIVE helped her kids decorate eggs once upon a time.  Oh, why do we Mom’s bother? 

I boiled 3 dozen Easter eggs and we set out decorating.  By the way, did you know you can mess up boiling eggs?  I, apparently, did not know this.  I did something wrong, because the eggs do not peel well at all.  I might be a worse mother than Singing Sally.  Just maybe.

Even Bud and SweetGuy joined in the fun.  They did have to put their manly spin on the eggs.  Bud was most proud of his egg that he decorated with fake cracks.  Yes, it did look just like a cracked egg.  Oh, the artistry.  And SweetGuy decided to make a Rambo egg.  Here he is showing off and impersonating his creation.  This is either very funny, or creepy.  You decide:

Shocking resemblence, eh?

So, to wrap it up, here are the things we learned from this eggsperience:

Emmy has no memory.

Do not color eggs with the White Rose.  She will put your eggs to shame.  Mine are still hiding in the corner because they look so bad.

Bud creates violence themed eggs. 

SweetGuy looks a lot like a violence themed egg.

According to the message on one of Magoo’s eggs, Magoo ***giant blob of glue and glitter****’s Da Kaff.  For shame.

It is absolutely imperitive that we do this every year.  This was even more fun than I remember.
