Bu-yah!

Despite my er, "adventureness" tendency as a mother,

(read: letting the boys cook despite the mess, run around in the rain despite getting soaked, etc)

I admit the ONE thing I have never done (with the older boys nor the little ones)

is dye Easter Eggs.

The pans, the dye, the  vinegar

it's just a disaster waiting to happen

and I know that I would be yelling the whole time.

Besides, my church does it EVERY year, so the experience is not lost to the boys.

This year, however....

I stumbled upon a FANTASTIC way to dye eggs and Nonnie was just as into it as I was.

First, I give you: the RESULTS:

 Bu-YAH!

I think we ROCKED it out!

;-)

This is by no-means a tutorial,

(just google and you should find several step-by-steps)

In short - the above eggs were created with men's neck ties! 

We cut them up and wrapped the eggs in the pieces of fabric.

 Boiled the eggs (with the wraps on).

And then, have a TON of fun unwrapping them to see what treasure awaits inside!

We LOVED this activity!

And I'm sure it will be making an annual appearance at our house!
