Easter Eggs Northern Baby Style

After Northern Family spent some time at the library on Saturday, we decided to color some Easter Eggs. This was kind of a big deal for the Northerns, because last year we had the PAAS kit and two dozen eggs ready one Saturday morning right before Easter, and that was when Northern Baby decided it was time to arrive on the scene. No eggs last year...so this year we were going to color some eggs! So, by now, some of you are looking at the above picture and thinking, "if they were so gung-ho to dye some eggs, why do those Easter Eggs look like s***? And why are there only NINE eggs?!"

Well, the answers to those questions are: Northern Daddy and Northern Baby. Northern Daddy is the one who forgot that his normal eggs from the store are brown eggs. Brown eggs don't color quite as well as white eggs. So Northern Daddy screwed that one up! Northern Baby is the one who decided to conduct a few physics experiments in our kitchen. I'm not real sure what his hypothesis was, because he still doesn't use words as much as he just points and says Da!, but I think his basic theory had to do with fragile ovoids impacting dense surfaces at perpendicular angles at high velocities. (In other words - hey, let's see what happens when I drop this egg on the kitchen floor!) So Northern Baby screwed that one up! (and two others in his quest to verify the results of his first test)

Hmmm....fragile...tall perch...wonder what'll happen if I just give this egg a little toss?...

Wow, Mommy, that looks like a real mess to clean up....

Tune in next year to see if Northern Daddy buys WHITE eggs, and whether Northern Baby stops chucking eggs to the floor.

A semi-related topic that will be covered shortly: just how much food can a one-year-old toddler manage to eat? You won't believe the answer....
