We spent a few hours at my friend's home letting the boys play with her kids. When we got back, Andrew wasn't feeling well. Brendan asked, "Can we color eggs yet?" I responded, "Not Yet!"
Andrew began feeling a little bit better, but then Evan fell asleep on my lap. Brendan asked, "Can we color eggs yet?" I responded, "Not Yet!"
We eat dinner, and I start to clean up. Brendan asked, "Can we color eggs yet?" I responded, "Not yet!"
After I cleaned up, I looked outside and the boys were playing with a group of neighborhood kids in the yard. However, I was ready to make eggs. I cleared the table and got all of the colors ready to go. I called the boys in. "Guess what? It is time to color eggs!" I heard Brendan shout outside, "I'll be right back. I am going to color eggs!"
Brendan colored his eggs in record speed! After a day of incessant nagging, he finished his eggs and returned outside in a few mere minutes. Evan and Andrew took considerably longer, while I filled in for Brendan and jazzed his eggs up a little.
Evan took advantage of the Star Wars egg kit that I had purchased. His hands also paid the price for his creativity. 
"Can we color eggs yet?" Yep-- Easter Eggs done!

Now that Noah's had a taste of egg fun, I think he'll be our "can we color yet?" nagger. Judging from the color of Ev's fingers, I'd say everyone had a very good time.
We colored eggs yesterday too. I also had kids that asked that question every five minutes from the time we got home until we finally did color them.
Cute pics! Looks like everyone had a good time!
Coloring eggs is one of my favorite memories from childhood. Can't wait to start that tradition with McCamey,
