OK, so they are being a little bit goofy! After reading an article from Mother Earth Website, I discovered one CAN decorate brown eggs.
Why is this important?
We get our eggs from friends and farmers who's chickens lay BROWN eggs.
These are natural, free range eggs, so much better for you than those factory white eggs.
Last year I caved not wanting to loose the ability to decorate eggs. This year we were taking on the challenge!
After selecting the lightest brown eggs from our latest batch
and hard boiling them, we got to work.
We had to use the vinegar directions on the packet, this got me wondering if next year I should find other means of colors to get away from industrial chemicals. We will see next time!

Since Isabella is my artistic one who gets so involved in her work, she forgets she has dyed her fingers, she gets gloves. If it gets on her fingers, it gets on the house.
Here is the annoying part, the eggs need to sit in the bath for 10 minutes. The kiddos did not find this too bad as they played Wii between batches.
Voila! Easter Eggs!
These were taken right after I took them out of their baths, hence the shiny spots.
