I buy fake Easter Eggs so Alex can handle them, and we still end up in gloves.  Can't win.    
Alex was eager to decorate eggs today and since these ones aren't real, a week before Easter was not a problem.  We used a painting kit that was supposed to make the eggs golden, but quickly realized we got had on the advertisement.  We still produced some beautiful eggs with a slight golden tint to them and had a ton of fun doing it.  We've got another kit (of course we do), so we'll give it another go next week.  More. . .
