"Hmmmm what can I dye?" thinks Nephi

I was dying eggs with the kids yesterday for Easter. The kids were LOVING it, especially Nephi. Later that night we noticed that Nephi had disappeared, which isn't out of the norm. A few minutes later he came out of the bathroom with "my little pony" whose hair was sopping wet and Nephi's hands were completely stained red, clothes were covered in red (although he was wearing his jeans backwards since he insists on doing things his way), and had a red dye trail from the bathroom. The bathroom was not a pretty sight. Thank goodness food coloring dye cleans up easily on bathroom surfaces (a lot easier than the nail polish he had gotten into a few months ago, which stained the cabinet). I realized that he had watched Stuart dye my hair a couple of weeks ago and he wanted his turn to dye some hair. That little boy keeps life so interesting.

Just in case you were wondering, food dye does not do a very good job of dying hair. The ponies hair is the same rainbow color it had been.
