I have to admit, St. Patrick's Day is a little too close to Easter this year for my liking. It's kind of cramped my decorating style because I felt some compulsion to decorate for St. Patrick's Day. But after tomorrow, all the St. Patrick's Day decor will come down and it will be full on Easter!
Actually it's been Easter for the past month, we just combined a little St. Pat's in with it :)
Tonight we dyed eggs as a family (and then watched Duck Dynasty, but that's a whole other post). We usually wait until just a couple of days before Easter, but we thought it might be fun to enjoy the eggs prior to the holiday this year, instead of dealing with them for days on end afterward.
Below is just a sampling of our Easter dyeing evening:

| I've been completely obsessed with wheat grass (as decor, not to eat) lately, so when I saw it in my grocery store I knew it was coming home with me. I love it! I know, it has nothing to do with dyeing eggs, but it IS grass, and it IS where eggs are often hidden, so in a way, it kind of fits into the post. Besides, I think it's cute and wanted to show it off :) |

| Since last Easter I've been eyeing this adorable porcelain egg tray at TJ Maxx, and I finally broke down and bought it. The eggs inside are a few that Cory and I dyed. Unlike the girls, who love to make their eggs 'artful', I like mine to be simple, and deeply dyed. |

| Autumn with her first egg of the season :) |
 |
| As usual, Cayla got creative and wrote cute and/or funny things on her eggs. This one has spots! |
 |
| Some of Autumn's creations! |
 |
| A few of our plain ones. |
 |
| Autumn and Chuck. The smell drove Chuck crazy. He drooled the entire time hoping an egg would fall on the floor :) |

The designers! I hope they always love to dye eggs as much as I do!
Happy Easter!

We almost always dye eggs *after* Easter!:) It is just so crazy that we don't usually have time, I never thought of doing it super early. I hate it when St. Patty's and Easter are so close. I am putting up my Easter stuff tomorrow, too!
Sounds like fun! What pretty eggs! I'm having a hard time thinking Easter. It has not really been cold yet and there was more excitement about 2 weeks of Chinese New Year! Love the grass!
