Awaiting Easter

We finally managed the last piece of our Easter preparations this afternoon:  coloring our Easter eggs.  Mama prepared a great big pot of hard boiled eggs and asked, "Who wants to color eggs?"

Kathleen was there in an instant.

Madeline was right behind her big sister, saying "Me!  ME!"  (This might be one of Madeline's favorite phrases -- although sometimes it comes in the form of "too, too," which means "me, too.")

Everyone worked together.

And then each girl worked on her own.

(Incidentally, we're pretty sure this isn't the future the law firm envisioned when they gave Mama that mug long ago...  Mama was probably supposed to stay at the law firm and do, you know, law.  Instead we do crafts.)

And after all the eggs had been dyed, the girls applied stickers.  Very carefully.  This is important work!

We can't wait for Easter morning!
