Easter Egg Carnage

Our friends invited us to a lovely egg-decorating party this week. Alice decorated a dozen hard boiled eggs with PAAS and I decorated one hollow shell with something slightly resembling the pysanka method. I also tasted clafouti for the first time and fell in love instantly. Bobby and Robert did not attend, unfortunately, due to certain choices Robert had made earlier that day and at dinner :(

Alice couldn't wait to eat all those hard boiled eggs. We brought home a carton full of them and stuck them in the fridge with the promise that we could enjoy some hard boiled eggs for breakfast the next morning. Well, the next morning, Bobby walks into the kitchen where he discovers that not only have Alice and Robert retrieved the eggs on their own, but they have devoured ALL of them and left a blanket of pastel pink and purple egg shells on the table, the chairs, their PJs, and the floor. Robert was the messiest, but he thoughtfully saved some for me:

Mmmmmm. Appetizing. After devouring 11 hard boiled eggs, the kids still ate a full breakfast and begged for a late morning snack. Growth spurt?
