The kids had the best time coloring eggs today. We had two visitors, Erika and William, join in on the fun. It was chaotic to say the least, but we got it done without spilling any coloring dye.
We did crack a few eggs, but we just made deviled eggs from those. The kids loved the deviled eggs. Well, except Claire!
You know how the coloring kits only come with one egg dipper? Well, with three dippers and eight children, there's a lot of waiting going on. Claire decided to dip her hand directly in the cup to get her eggs out! Then, several more children followed suit. The result? About 50 stained fingers and a lot of scrubbing. Their hands did not come clean, but I don't care. There was a day that I would have cared, but I've learned to bend. Sometimes the kids just having fun is more important than my OCD being under control.
Funniest thing that happened today:
The kids have this obsession with being the first one to get in the car. So, I told the kids to load up as I grabbed a few things for the diaper bag. We were on our way to church, so they were carrying their Bibles. Joseph came back inside with a look of distress on his face and said, "Cheyenne hit me with the word of God!". He was genuinely upset, so I tried to keep a straight face. It was so cute! I scolded Cheyenne by saying, "We do not hit people with the word of God." Cecil and I laughed, although we were trying not to.
