As Mothers we all have to give up things for our children, I had to give up beautiful EGGS! I had forgotten how much I loved my Easter eggs. Last year, Addie was too young and we did not color eggs but we decided to start this year. Mom had like 7 eggs so I stopped at the Dollar General on our way into Mansfield and bought the Paas dying kit. That night I carefully boiled all the eggs and we were ready to color. Jeremy and Addie were the egg droppers. First egg, Addie throws it into the bottom of the coffee cup and it cracks. Oh my, my heart sinks. My first egg is broken. This pattern continues. But when finished we have bright beautiful eggs (with some cracks). The next morning we hid them. As she found them, she launched them across the yard, more cracks. She also beat them together, more cracks.My eggs were no longer perfect or beautiful. I had forgotten this inner childhood memory, I had of my love for my eggs. I would color them so perfectly and not want to hide my eggs. We always hid my cousins eggs. I would save mine for weeks until eventually my mom would sneak them to the trash can. However, I love my daughter more than my eggs so she cracked them, threw them and broke them. They only lasted 24 hours but that is okay I have let it go!!

Too funny! Is it bad that we did NO eggs this year? Anyway, thanks for the comment on my blog. It's not thrift. I have some of that, too, and I love it!
I finally got in!!!!
It been so long since I dyed an easter egg!! If you can believe this, I remember dying eggs with Mom when we were children.....lot of eggs at our house. WE ALWAYS ATE THEM.
Addy is so precious! How I wish Rick was here to spoil her. We were all blessed that he was here when she was born. What a joy for him!!!! (and I know he's watching over all of you)
