Egg Coloring Extravaganza

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Wow, this week has just flown by! I can't believe that it's already Friday, and after the weekend it's back to school for my siblings.

I feel like so much of our week was spent running errands or accomplishing actual work that needed to be done, but we definitely made time for fun as well. Just take today, for example. What's Spring Break without coloring Easter eggs?

My sisters were old enough to really get into the egg coloring this year. They didn't quite remember this activity from years past, but that didn't stop them from taking it very seriously this year. Talk about egg coloring.... they used crayons in every color of the rainbow to draw designs on their eggs before dipping them into the cups of dye. The eggs came out really nicely, but boy did it take forever!

Not to be outdone, us older kids took part in the egg coloring as well. I'm really not the biggest fan of coloring eggs (I'm too much of a control freak, I think), but it went pretty smoothly this year. I think a big difference was in the way we set up the materials. Back in New York, we had the cups of dye spread out all over the big dining room table. This year, we used a counter in the kitchen and all sat or stood around it, so everything was more contained to a smaller area. Plus, everyone was big enough to understand warnings of, "Don't knock the cups over," and, "If you whine, we're done." Sure enough, there were very minimal spills and just about no whining... of course, when the blue was already being used, there was a slight issue, but that tends to happen in such a big family.

The eggs really did come out beautifully this year though. Everyone did a great job, and we got these cute new holders to display all of the eggs in. Now everyone's just looking forward to the Easter egg hunt come Sunday, when the kids have to figure out where the Easter Bunny hid all of those eggs. There's 36, which you would think would take all day to find, but most of them are usually found before lunchtime. This year, however, we're in a brand new house with more new and exciting hiding places, so this should be fun.

Coloring Easter eggs is another one of those activities that we can look back on and see pictures with a different family each year. It's crazy how many different combinations of siblings I've had come each Easter. That's one of the perks of being part of a foster family though; we've never had the same experiences twice.

Your continued support means the world to me. From foster care to novels, and family to work experiences, I look forward to sharing more of my life with you each day. Don't hesitate to share your own stories with me or ask me questions about my life. Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
