40 Days and 40 Nights

This is a special day in the lives of , well, anyone that goes to or works at my school. There are 40 school days remaining in the 2007-2008 school year! 40 days of school... 40 nights of setting my alarm clocks.

Rob, sadly, was not around when Karen and I decided we needed to dye Easter Eggs. Rob was stuck in his cozy cabinet in my classroom at school. But we had some fun in his absence. Here are some pictures.

I colored two of my eggs to look like over-sized eyes. We had quite a romp throughout the house using these eye-props for our enjoyment. Above, you will see me enjoying the Eye Eggs using Karen's new photographic technique, the Skycam.

King Tut also had a romp with the Eye Eggs. King Tut was a silent but very willing participant in our silliness. Go, Tut!

Look closely. She's not playing pool with pool ball things. No, no no! Those are Easter Eggs! Hooray, Easter Eggs!

I must hand it to those Pennsyltucky Dutch. For years and years and years as a child, I dyed eggs using the Paas dye kit. I used to enjoy the Paas dye kit -- especially the sweet vinegar fumes! -- but Karen frowns upon the Paas method because "all you get to do is dunk your egg and that's it." I couldn't argue. But we used (I'm mangling the name here) Dr. Finklebellystein's kit which employed a more hands-on approach to coloring eggs. Instead of the Paas plunk n' dunk, Dr. Finklebellystein's kit is more of a Paint Yer Eggs affair. Much more fun! I'll always use Dr. Finklebellystein's method from now on. I'm converted.
