Easter Bunnie Preparations

As Genevieve descended the stairs at some too early hour this morning she called down, "Mom!  I'm ready to dye Easter eggs.  Like right now.  Even before I pee and have breakfast."  After much negotiating about the importance of peeing and eating breakfast we slogged through meeting basic needs and launched into egg dyeing.
