Eggs!

On Sunday we decorated Easter eggs with our boy.  He was extremely excited!

 

Of course the blue one had to be very close to him and continuously stirred.

 We stripped him of his church clothes, placed him in a too-small, unbuttoned onesie, and...made him wait.  The eggs were slow (actually it was Mom).

He passed the time by balancing spoons on the edges of the glassware.

 Once the eggs were ready, I told him he could just use his fingers to (gently) dump the eggs in, but Daddy had other ideas - ideas that involved using that wimpy, too flimsy egg-lifter that comes in every egg-dyeing kit.  They aren't made for two-year-olds.

In this picture, they're still tackling the flimsy egg-lifter but, by the end, both of them had blue/green fingers.  Yes, fingers work best sometimes.

Unfortunately, Brian wasn't too thrilled because he had a Lent service to attend just after our egg-dyeing adventure.

While dyeing, Brian and I were getting serious about baby girl names.  He decided to go to his computer to google Scandinavian names.  Well, the very responsible mother that I am, I soon found myself on the couch next to him...yes, we left our son alone at the table for a few minutes.

Here's what we came back to:

Aidan dumped every color into the empty egg bowl.  He then took the colored eggs back out of the carton and recolored them in the mixture he'd created.

Oh, he was just so proud.

And, no, we still haven't come up with a girl name that we can agree on.

Happy Easter!
