I gotta be honest, it's been a few years since we colored Easter eggs.  Generally, Easter is a super busy time for us since Dan works at a church.  But now that Christian is almost three, it seemed time to reinstate it... and my parents were here to facilitate.
For some reason, I thought it would be a better idea to blow the yolk out of the eggs instead of using hard boiled ones.  At the time, my reasoning seemed really sound.  I thought, gee, won't it be great to keep these for a couple years and just grow our collection?  I dislike the idea of tossing them out after a week or so.  After blowing the yolk out of the second egg, I decided I was a bit nuts.  Thankfully, Dan came to the rescue and helped me tackle the task.
 The weather was beautiful so we did the messy work outside.
