Easter Eggs

I had never dyed eggs with Atreyu before so I thought it would be fun to do it this year.  I saw on idea online to dye the eggs with Kool-Aid.  You just take a packet of Kool-Aid and mix it with 2/3 cup of water and voila!  The Kool-Aid smelled so good and it worked pretty well.  Atreyu thought it was fun to drop the eggs in the water.  We wrote on some of them, put stickers on others and put the shrink band thingys on some others.  It was a fun day and Cambria enjoyed watching us.

Atreyu, like any kid, gets excited about the Easter Bunny, eggs and candy but I am trying to teach him the real reason we celebrate Easter.  I can ask him why we have Easter and he says, "Jesus died."  I then ask him what happened next and he says, "He was resurrected."  I'm glad that he at least knows the reason even though he is not going to focus on it.  I don't expect him to either with him being so young but I know he is learning and I can build on the story every year.
