Back to the Egg

So we're finally here at Good Friday. After all the days of practice for AD33, the performance was tonight, and packed to overflow. The production went very well for a first night, with only a few small hitches here and there, but overall it was exactly as advertised: a spectacle.

Madison didn't go tonight, but rather went to Nana and Ye-Ye's again, this time to do Easter Eggs. They also did crafts celebrating Earth Day, one of which was a potted plant that Madison gave to Mommy. It was very sweet, and Madison was quite proud of it. As a part of Earth Day, they watched Disney's "Oceans," and did Earth Day things like ... uh... what exactly is it you do on Earth Day? Perhaps you should dye your Easter eggs green.

Yes, back to the Egg: this morning, when Daddy and Madison woke up (which was pretty late!), we immediately set out to dye Easter eggs. It was quite a project! Mommy was busy sewing last-minute items for the production, so Daddy and Madison attempted to do the eggs on their own. Daddy carefully mixed the vinegar with the little color pellets, with his assistant Madison helping along the way. Cautiously, we added the cool water using precise measurements - and pretty soon we had ourselves about nine different bowls with colored dye in them. Earlier, Mommy had boiled the eggs, so we were all ready to go!

Madison was having a great time coloring the eggs. Some, we even drew on with our white wax crayons - only after the egg was dyed would the drawn image appear. In this case, it was a simple smiley face on it. We also put on some glitter upon the eggs, but that wasn't as fun as dipping our eggs in the colored dye. Not long later, we had ourselves a dozen colorful eggs, most of which which we placed on our Easter plate.

So Madison dyed Easter eggs not once, but twice today! Sounds like a pretty good day to me!
