Egg Decorating and Cookie Fun

We colored eggs a couple of weeks ago and had lots of fun!  El and Luke both started out with a dozen eggs, but in the end had about 10 each... and some of those still standing in the end were cracked.  I don't know how many times I had to tell Ella to be careful with them or they will crack!  That girl was so funny to watch.  She'd plop them in a cup for about ten seconds and then fish the egg out with her hands and throw it in another color.  She only wanted "girl colors" at first, but towards the end made a few blue and green.  She kept wanting to smell the dye.. so sick!  That stuff stinks.  I guess she likes the smell of vinegar because before we started coloring the eggs she picked one cup up and drank a little! 

Luke thought it was hilarious that some of the eggs had broken. 
Guess it doesn't get more fun than squishing cracked eggs some more :)
 
We tried out a glitter egg kit and a marble egg kit.  I must say, the marbled eggs looked much more marbly in the pictures then in real life!  Luke was really patient and would let his egg sit for a long time to get the perfect color.  He got some fun bright blue and green ones! 
 

Another day we made some Easter sugar cookies with Sheri, Amelia, and baby Olivia.  Thanks Jenni for the recipe!  The cookies that came out not covered in 3 inches of sprinkles were super tasty.. :)

She must take after her dad on that...smelling and tasting nasty things out of curiosity. :)
