We went to Amy and Jeff's house last night for an egg decorating party. Of course all of the kids loved it, mostly because I think they LOVE messy things.
Solomon became a very determined stirrer of the egg in the dye. It made me a little nervous to be honest. Amy had the room set-up in a way so nothing would be permanently dyed/damaged. However, there's that part of my brain that is wired to be a little freaked out when things get too messy! (Thanks Mom!) Anyway, Solomon tried to dump the dye over a few times and all of the kids were dropping the eggs in the cups from about a foot above. Plus, they were knocking eggs together and basically dying their own fingers. It was pretty funny. Solomon loved it so much that when it was time to quit, he had a small meltdown! It was also dinner time so he was hungry and mad that we stopped.. deadly combo.
Natalie obviously enjoyed herself as well!
Amy also made us some yummy pork tacos and brownies. The kids all had fun running around and playing with Natalie's toys. My fingernails are just now looking normal again. I had to dig the eggs out of the dye containers a few times so I had witch nails for a while. I was also able to get the egg dye out of my T-shirt! Bonus.The rest of the weekend was fun as well. We went to Brett and Abby's house on Saturday for a BBQ and watched some basketball. We also tried to take Solomon to an Easter Egg hunt at the Y, but it was over in two minutes so it didn't work out so well!
Kandi and Jimmy are buying a new house so I helped her clean outside at their current house on Saturday. I can't wait to see the new house.

That sounds so fun! I can't wait to decorate some eggs this week for Easter. Those photos of Solomon and Natalie are so cute. Kids love messes, don't they?
That's exciting about Kandi and Jimmy, too. Tell them congrats!
You're adventerous. I plan to do Easter Eggs w/ Carina when Izzy is asleep. Looks like fun though. Hooray for Kandi! Where is her new place?
