Kindergarten 101: Red and Blue make ....

YUCK!! What happened to my purple!?!? These were the ugliest Easter Eggs I've ever seen! I tried to redeem them by putting those little plastic shrink wrappers on them. It didn't work!

Every Saturday Brad (and some other teachers) teach about 75 kids at our little English training center. We thought it would be fun to teach the kids about Easter. And, since Brad's in charge of the school this semester, the party planning fell to me. So, I had the privilege of dying 200 hard boiled eggs! Thankfully, I three eager helpers!

Since we were dying so many eggs, we decided to put 20-30 eggs in a bowl, pour the colored water over the eggs, and let them soak for about 10 minutes. Thankfully, these eggs turned out much better than the first batch.

Our lessons at the school went well. All the kids (and parents) were ooooh-ing and ahhhh-ing over the eggs! That made my kids feel pretty happy!

Here are some more pics for you, Dad....

The week after Easter we had another round of dying eggs. Since we didn't have 200 eggs that needed to be dyed, I filled paper cups with the different colored water and let the kids dye one egg at a time. They made some fun rainbow/tie-dyed eggs. Rachel brought her girls over to join in the fun. She took lots of fun pics, but I don't have them yet. Maybe I'll post them when I get them.
