Are we having fun yet?

Dale and I had his grandkids Friday night and decided to kill, oh, about 20 minutes decorating Easter eggs. God, was that fun! Actually, it was a lot of work and a huge mess but it makes me appreciate my mom giving her seven kids this same experience when I was a child. I fondly remember dying eggs at Easter, and I'm sure my mom was just shaking her head and rolling her eyes the whole time, just like I was.

Jaden, 7, and his proud collection of eggs.

Josie, 6, very deliberate.


Luke, 5, had a cracked egg but made the most of it. Enlarge the photo and you'll see his darling freckles.
