In love with a mouse
One thing I don’t talk about is my obsession with all things Mickey Mouse. not minnie. nope. Just Mickey. I have a huge collection, one which my cleaning and organizing will hopefully result in it being unbound and displayed. I can’t wait to make these this year.
My little joke as to why I don’t like minnie is because she’s been cheating on mickey for years with Mortimer mouse !!!!!
Some get it, some dont.

Use Kool-Aid to Dye Easter Eggs
I can’t be the only mom who dyes hard-boiled eggs for the kids year round? They make a fun, healthy snack and make it easy to distinguish which are hard-boiled and which can be used for cooking. This time we decided to use Kool-Aid for a change, since I don’t like the vinegar smell from traditional dyes. It was a hit!
Boil Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Make sure the tops of the eggs are covered by at least an inch of water. Bring the water to a full boil, uncovered, then remove the pot from the heat and cover it. Let stand untouched for 15 minutes. Rinse in cool water. Note: Wipe eggs with a damp cloth before coloring to avoid uneven color or bubbles.
Prepare Dye: Use 2/3 cup of warm water per Kool-Aid packet. Stir. No need to add vinegar. For purple we did 1 packet Pink Lemonade and a couple of sprinkles of Grape Kool Aid.
Color: Get your little helper(s) to dye the eggs. Mine really enjoyed smelling all of the fruity flavors and guessing which scent went with each color.
Here’s what the finished eggs looked like! (Bottom two are the from the same mixture. One soaked for 2 minutes, the darker one for 4 minutes).
Want more fun activities for the kids? How about making Kool Aid Playdough.
