Egg Dye is so 2007... this year, it's EGG Painting

Tom and I were trying to skip out of the whole egg dye thing. I hate it. They splash it everywhere, stick their fingers in there, get it on their clothes, me, Tom and no one eats the stupid eggs. Then I started to feel guilty and like the anti-mom, so I remembered we bought these kits a couple of years ago and never used them. So, we dyed some eggs... well, we painted them. This kit was AWESOME. I have no idea why I thought it was going to suck - well, plus we did it outside, much easier than inside crammed at a small table in an apartment with two little little kids that think the yellow one is lemonade - oh, those were the days!

This was cool though, they got to be artistic (and I don't mind doing like REAL craft stuff with them so this worked out great) and I didn't have to deal with the tablets that won't dissolve. Cool! We had 2 packs, but they decided to share the paint (which is basically dye with eyeshadow applicators) and use it next year too. The little holder thing I thought would suck, but we didn't break or lose a single egg.

Coolness!

So, the pics...

Jamie told me to take this... he is such a little ham sometimes.

Okay, where did you get that kit because I so want one of those egg holder things!! I'm sitting here trying to figure out if I could throw something together and I could get the paint and some eyeshadow applicators... I mean, paint brushes, but that clamp thing?? AWESOME!!

Oh btw, you should totally change the name of your blog to The Candied Tomato family. ;o)
