Last week was Easter, so we dyed Easter Eggs
. My mom, Coleman and I went to an egg
vender to buy eggs. The problem with dyeing c
hicken eggs here is that they are all brown. So, i
nstead of only
buying chicken eggs, we got different kinds of eggs. We got
chicken eggs, duck eggs(that are greenish), and quail eggs (that are white with a black p
olka-
dots and it are very,very small). Last, but not least, we found goose eggs which are white and SO big. We almost didn't get them because they were SO expensive. They were 50 cents U.S. a
piece, but in China, they were 3
dollars a piece in
Chinese money. We only got 4 of them. Then, we went home and after we had our work done we dyed Easter eggs! We were so happy to do it because we hadn't done it since last year (if you want to know, we're always happy when it is Easter). We found out that it was SO hard to dye them. We wished that we had Easter eggs that were all white, but we were lucky that we each at least had a white Easter egg. I saved my Goose egg for last. If you take a look at this next picture, you see that there is a blueish,
purplish egg in the middle, that one is my goose egg. In the picture are the eggs that we
blew. We had goose egg
omlets for dinner. The rest of them were
boiled. We saved the b
oiled ones for our family's Easter service. Every Sunday we have family time instead of church. In Portland, at our church we always did a
Children's Moment and on Easter we always cracked a
boiled Easter egg on our head and the kids said"Christ is
risen" then the parents said" Christ is
risen indeed". Then, we ate the eggs. We had a really fun Easter!!!!! Bye!!!!!!

This is a wonderful story. I like your creativity in finding all the different types of eggs. Those goose eggs sound like a real treat, not only white but big! I remember trying to dye brown eggs when I was kids. I agree it's really hard to do. I'm glad you had such a fun Easter. Love, Deb
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful eggs! Thanks for sharing the story and the photos. You are building some GREAT memories.
ReplyDeleteWe used to have chickens and always dyed the brown eggs they gave us. The colors always came out very interesting!
