slo’s TUESDAY poll - Coloring Easter Eggs

[slo]

Will your family be coloring Easter Eggs this year?


For Us.....No
We have no time to color eggs this year.
DD(17)‘s softball schedule is now in full swing with games this week and we’re taking her on her 2nd college visit on Friday (a school she’s hoping to play softball for) and then she works on Saturday. There’s just no time this year.

We used to all the time when the boys were younger.

We might dye eggs this Saturday with the grandkids.

 

[Micca]

No- We have plastic eggs that we fill and snap together. We haven't actually dyed eggs in years.

 

[tvguy]

No.
My kids are too old, 30 and 34.
My Granddaughter is too young at 21 months

 

[maxaroni]

No. We haven’t colored eggs in years. We limit our egg intake, DS28 wasn’t a fan of hard boiled eggs, so used plastic eggs and filled them with money or candy. When DS was young, we did color them, though.

I’m out of work from surgery until Saturday and have to work on Sunday, so we did some eggs on Monday. My kids are 14 now, but it’s something we’ve done, and hopefully will continue to do every year!

My kids range in age from 18 - 24, heck yes! Probably Saturday, since I make about 20 for the hunt (my kids love boiled eggs, deviled eggs, egg salad and are extra protein health nuts, boiled eggs only last about a week in the fridge). We’ve had so much free time it’s ridiculous, between online school and a month of covid house, life stopped. Now it’s back to soccer, track and work for the kids, dd18 was so happy to put things on the calendar again.

 

[Disneylover99]

No. I did it once or twice when the kids were young, but it’s not something any of us took pleasure in.

Over the years we did egg hunts with colourful plastic eggs.
Just hide them, and whoever finds them, can redeem them for a prize.

I voted no because at this moment I have no plans to do it but I probably should have voted undecided. It could still happen.

 

[Dan Murphy]

No. Have not for many years. The kids took that over with the grandkids. We sure did a lot years ago though.

 

[RedAngie]

That’s a definite maybe. Depends on how I feel later this week.

 

[hertamaniac]

No. Age has caught up with us.

 

[AppleDumpling]

Yes, we dye Easter eggs every year. It’s a tradition I have done all my life. Doesn’t matter anyone’s age. Don’t hide them or put in baskets though; they go on the table as a festive decoration. We used to write names on each and put them on the dinner plates as place cards. No extended family this year, but DH and I will still color a dozen, probably on Saturday.

 

[Meriweather]

we don't do it anymore......no one wants to or will eat them.
We hide plastic eggs for our egg hunt and I make deviled eggs for our meal.

 

[Kitty 34]

No- We have plastic eggs that we fill and snap together. We haven't actually dyed eggs in years.

We haven't dyed eggs in years either; that's why I said might in my post; not sure if I really want to go there with a 3 and 2 year old.

We might just resort to hiding the plastic eggs.

 

[Bellhop97]

We haven't colored easter eggs in over 10+ years..

 

[soccerdad72]

Yes, we're doing our family traditional of all the cousins coloring Easter eggs (even though the kids now range in age from 20 to 11) on Saturday at my parents' house. We're not staying over for Easter morning like we normally would, but doing eggs, an egg hunt and dinner then heading home.

 

[prairie_girl]

Nope, no point. I sent my daughter some money to buy treats for her and her boyfriend.

 

[Dan Murphy]

but DH and I will still color a dozen,

Very nice.

My 10 year old daughter and I made some lovely glittery Mermaid eggs last night. Probably will not be eaten, not sure if the glitter will get on the eggs.
