Easter Egg Lab

Easter eggs galore done by a team of as you will soon be able to tell, almost near professionals. Methods used included Paals Standard Method, Paals & Sharpie Cross Method, Sole Sharpie Method, and Ukrainian Dye & Wax Method. This post has been delayed due to an unfortunate interruption in the poster's sleeping patterns (aka a 4am day at work and general sleepiness). Two team members and their contributions are not pictured as they left the site before the camera crew arrived. The team had a productive night and produced just under 5dozen eggs.

Fun! I can totally tell which eggs Anne did. :) We didn't get around to dying eggs, I bought the stuff, but I worried about the aftermath Jade might cause with the egg dye!

I don't know if those fingers holding up Anne's yellow egg are yours, but they look like a monster's fingers--pointy, with scary green tips. (Shiver)

It was a very fun night though! So glad I wasn't writing a research proposal like I should have been doing.
