So, yesterday we (me and the nieces) dyed our eggs.

MY FINGERS ARE ALL BLUE! And today we (me) hid them and the nieces found them. I wrote down a list, just in case, but we didn't need it, they found all the eggs. (Good, because I can't figure out one of the locations on my list!)

Listening to them scream in delight every time they found an egg? I love it! (And Ana doesn't even LIKE eggs, but she loved finding them!) This time of year, I think Easter is my favorite holiday.

After we found the eggs (at one point, while digging through the toys, Evangeline accidentally tossed an egg to the floor. When she picked it up she stared at it in befuddlement. "WHY IS THIS ALL CRACKED???" Gee, I don't know, because you threw it on the floor?), I told them to take their favorite eggs down and show Nanen and Bonne-Maman.

Evangeline: Connie? Can I eat one of the eggs I don't like that much?
Me: Yes?
Evangeline: Okay, thanks.
Me: But GO DOWNSTAIRS FIRST, your mom and I are talking!

*a few minutes later*

Jenn: Guys, go downstairs!
Evangeline: But you said I could have an egg!
Us: Later!
Evangeline: But then WHY is Ana already peeling it?
Me: Ana? That's for later.
Ana: It is?
Jenn: Yes.
Ana: Well, it's a little late for that now, isn't it?

I love my nieces, I really really do. ♥

I count the eggs, so that I'll know whether I have them all.

This year, we hollowed out raw eggs and then colored them, instead of hard-boiling them. That was a lot of fun!

We did count as well, but one year when I was a kid we actually didn't know where one was, and counting didn't help us find it. (It was in a box of baggies.) Ew! So now we make a list, too.
