Coloring Easter Eggs

This evening after dinner we colored Easter eggs. Because it's been a tradition the last couple of years, Hannah invited Emily over to join us. This was also Rachel's first year of being allowed in the same room as the coloring dye, and as far as Rachel goes, it went really well. With Hannah on the other hand...um, she somehow managed to tip over the cup of the bright blue egg dye (I even added vinegar to make the dye extra bright) and it went all over the tile counter top, and onto the floor...the carpeted floor! You should have seen how fast I moved to get my handy dandy bottle of Folex. I went to town on that spill and suprisingly...I think it all came up. It helps that it's just below the barstools at the counter and there were already major spill stains from eating at the bar, but at least the blue dye came up.

See that really dark blue egg in her carton??
That's the color of dye that spilled.

The finished products!

Ugh! Did it stain your counter top?

The eggs look really pretty! We're doing ours tonight...but we're staying on the floor I think. ;)

Nope, didn't stain the grout. Thank goodness.

Hope you guys had fun!
