This was Collin's first taste of hard boiled eggs. I wasn't sure what would happen when he tried it, but I had to watch... Here's how Collin eats an Easter egg. First we lick it...
Then the tentative first bite. Hey that's not too bad!
Until you get to the yolk anyway.. "Hey mom, sumtin's in there..."
I tried to tell him it was yummy. I was, apparently, not too convincing...
I'm pretty sure that was the end of the taste testing. On a side note, we usually go through at least a roll of paper towels when we do this as a family. 19 grandchildren can get a little messy. This year, Aunt Jess had a stroke of genius and instead, put each of the kids in a white t-shirt and told them to wipe their messes on their shirts and see who's would be most colorful at the end. They didn't quite believe they were ALLOWED to make a mess on themselves so we had to give them a little hand...
That's grandma, mommy and a pregnant Aunt Jess "coloring" a shirt rather than the eggs. We might possibly have gotten a little carried away...
Oh well, the shirts turned out darling, and so did the eggs, later, when we got back around to coloring them.
