Color Splash

On Friday night we dyed some Easter eggs, or as Kristen says, we dived some Easter eggs. I was glad this year the tablets actually dissolved. That's what happens when you read the directions and put the vinegar in it. Also, just in case anyone was wondering, it isn't toxic. When I put the cups on the table Lauren picked it up and took a drink. I guess it could be a little confusing. She did have a faint blue mustache. She also liked to bang her eggs together, so we had to throw most of her eggs away. Kristen was very particular with her eggs and really enjoyed it.






We did make a recipe that explains the Easter story quite well. You take a marshmallow, which represents Jesus. You dip it in butter and a cinnamon sugar mix, which represents the oils and spices that they put on his body. You seal the marshmallow in a crescent roll, which represents the cloth used to wrap Jesus' body in. You put them in the oven, which represents the tomb. When you take them out the marshmallow has melted and isn't inside, just like Jesus wasn't in the tomb. It was a good way to explain to the girls the Easter story, plus they were also very yummy. We also have the resurrection eggs, which we will do with the girls on Easter.

Don't they look Delicious!

And the marshmallow is gone!
