Scott

It's been a long week since Scott has been sick since Monday. Today he's feeling a ton better and he's starting to do more than just lay on the couch. I told him I wanted to spend some time with him today and I asked him what he wanted to do.

He said, "I want to do firecrackers and paint eggs!"

I said, Ok, let's paint eggs, since firecrackers aren't really available right now. The eggs are boiling and almost ready to cool off and I'm thinking to myself, ok where am I going to get the egg dye?

So does anyone know how to make home made egg die since I can't really find it anywhere right now?

Look what I found on Google:

Dying Easter Eggs--the Natural way!
It's possible to come up with a great number of colors using natural ingredients that can easily be found in almost any kitchen.

Pale Red: Fresh beets or cranberries, frozen raspberries

Orange: Yellow onion skins

Light yellow: Orange or lemon peels, carrot tops, celery seed or ground cumin

Yellow: Ground turmeric

Pale green: Spinach leaves

Green-gold: Yellow Delicious apple peels

Blue: Canned blueberries or red cabbage leaves

Beige to brown: Strong brewed coffee

Pretty cool!!
