So I boiled our eggs and we got all of our stuff together.
The first (most important!) order of business was to choose the flavor of Kool-Aid that would serve the job of quenching our thirst while we worked. ;) Lemon-lime, it is!
Then we poured the powder into our cups. (Mmmmm, it smelled oh, so wonderfully fruity in the kitchen!) Then we added a little water, no need for vinegar! (Yes, Conner is reading his "Bird Bible" while he's mixing. He's been into bird watching lately, and had been outside looking. :)
Then everyone chose a color and dunked their eggs. We counted to 30 together...
...and wa-lah! It worked! (Josiah was quite impressed!)
That first time was done nice and beautifully, everyone together. After that it was a little chaotic. Three kids counting aloud to 30, all at different speeds and times, one still needing a little help...two spills...a few little spats...you know, projects with three kids. ;) I took a little bit of video to hear all of the counting, but you can barely hear Conner, and I don't think you can hear Micah at all. (Probably because he had decided to do all of his counting under the table.)
After a little while we got brave and tried making a few designs. (Conner was just trying to make a "half-and-half" egg, but his fingerprints ended up making polka dots. Very cool!)
And a little while after that, we decided we should eat a few. Micah loves boiled eggs!!!
About the only drawback with our method was that we didn't have a little dunker-thing. (Which the kids haven't really used in the past, anyway.) The Kool-Aid did a pretty good job of dying those little hands, too. They thought it was awesome.

I guess that's the organic form of egg dying?? The video where Conner is taking a sip of his drink during the middle of his counting is cute. ...and counting to 100? I guess if counting to 30 achieved good results, counting to 100 would produce excellent results! Love those little guys, too, and their parents!
