We almost didn’t get to color our Easter eggs this year. We were on a major egg shortage in this house for a few days. Yes, I could have bought some eggs at the store but I find it really hard to buy eggs at the store when we have laying hens outside. Unfortunately our little egg collector had realized that collecting eggs is so much funner when you bring a sled up the hill with you to gather the eggs and then slid back down to the house. The only problem with this is that he always forgot to bring with the egg basket with him. So as you can imagine 5 eggs floating around the bottom of the sled while he is standing up “surfing” down the hill isn’t the best way to collect eggs. Yup, I was that mom that encouraged such an act. Shame on me I know, but it was so fun to watch, especially when he would end up hitting a patch of grass and land on his heiny. I was secretly wishing he would fall on all of the eggs and learn a lesson…unfortunately that never happened! Well now spring is here and the snow is gone so our egg supply is back up.
Of course our eggs never look like the ones on the front of the box, but the kiddos don’t seem to care. They were still so eggcited over them. I kinda like the vintagey colors of them. You never would know it but there are blue, green, yellow, pink and orange eggs in that basket.
Happy Easter!
I love your eggs! They look so much better to me than the bright artificial looking ones. So much more natural…
Those are gorgeous eggs! I long for fresh eggs.
What fun for little ones !!! Happy Easter from Oz to you too ( way over on the other side )
adorable- thanks for sharing 🙂
Cute pics! I’ve thought about getting a couple chickens, but it kind of scares me… we have a golden retriever and I’m afraid he would just bark an bark at them preventing them from laying! What do you think about that? Are chickens hard to keep?
Yeah that’s what I’m talking about bacyi-n-be work!
