What To Do With 72 Hard Boiled Eggs
We had an Easter egg decorating contest. Each kid plus my daughters soon to be husband had 8 eggs to paint and decorate. We displayed all the eggs and judged them with individual votes. Some categories were prettiest, most out of the box, most colorful, happiest, funnest, most unusual, most festive, most showing an Easter spirit..etc.. The winners got $1!!

ReplyDeleteWell aside from egg salad you could always pickle some. I get them pickled with beets at the store. Yum. I'm going to need to figure out how to make them that way. We're going to be making a few dozen eggs here soon.

ReplyDeleteHow FUN!!! I love the photos!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing to do as a family! And I love that everyone seems to be really into it!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a lot of egg salad! Looked like so much fun though. Sandie
ReplyDeleteYou could bring the eggs to church and give them away to elderly families who don't color eggs anymore?? Just a thought. Have a good rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteFrom the title of your blog, I thought you were going to tell us that you broke Paul Newman's record in "Cool Hand Luke" for eating hard boiled eggs.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a really fun activity until you get to the part where you have to make the decision about what to do with all the eggs !! :) I love the $1 prize idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea - we love egg salad so I'm not even (that) scared by the idea of all those hard-boiled eggs :).

Sounds like a great family fun time. Now to eat all those eggs. Joyous Wishes, Linda
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Now that's a lot of egg salad..I am wondering what you will do with them??
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks like fun! Hmm, do boiled eggs freeze? You could try that otherwise you will be having eggs coming out your ears. ;P
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
<><
I love the concentration on their faces. Seeing that many eggs at one time gave me the giggles...did the winners get egg-cited?
ReplyDeleteYou had a regular assembly line decorating the eggs, and it looks as if you got some creative results. Now what are you going to do with all those eggs?
ReplyDeleteFUN idea!! I love family fun time. I can just imagine how enjoyable it was for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI love it. I like the picture especially with the boy holding his hand to his head. "Oh boy" Blessings.
ReplyDeleteWow that looks like a lot of fun, that's a lot of eggs!!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh! what fun!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a blast! Is this a tradition is your family? Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fun time! I love decorating Easter eggs- and think it is fun that everyone gets so many to design. I am sure there must be lots of eggs salad after this! Or maybe hard boiled egg tosses on the front yard? :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday to you! What a huge group you have,more joy all around and more fun too. That's alot of Easter eggs,not only to decorate but also to consume. Thanks for sharing-looked like fun.
ReplyDeleteNoreen
what a fun idea...looks like a lot creative juices flowing...
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lot of fun! Guess you will be eating a lot of eggs this week. Too bad you can't freeze them.
ReplyDeleteOh, what fun!! That's a lot of eggs. Love the $1 prize =)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a busy night - looks very fun!
ReplyDeleteNumber 17 is my favorite. Who made that? Did it win a prize? Number 52 also caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow....72?!!! For some reason I feel quite bloated. I think I could consume a couple. That leaves 70 for the rest of y'all. My goodness. But, all in all, I bet it's quite a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's all I can say... wow :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to get all the family together to share that wonderful experience. The eggs look lovely too.
ReplyDeleteGeeze, I've really been craving deviled eggs, so much that I ordered when we went out to eat Saturday night, but umm... that's a lot of eggs.
ReplyDeleteLooks really fabulously fun though!
Sounds like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's alot of eggs! Maybe egg salad for dinner?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that was so much fun. I miss doing things like that, but grandkids will soon be old enough.
That looks like so much FUN!! Wish I was there with my kidos!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice idea! Now go share with the neighbors :)
ReplyDeleteI miss doing big egg coloring parties at my Grandparents house with all my cousins. Easter was a fun time with my grandparents.

Oh how fun! I love decorating eggs!!! This looks like it was a great time!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea! We do an egg decorating day every year at my Grandma's farm with all of my mom's sisters and the cousins... even though we are all truly getting a little old for it, it is tradition and is a lot of fun. Plus, some of us are starting to bring the next generation in on it, as well! I may need to suggest this for this year's decorating day...
ReplyDeleteBy the way, thanks for stopping by, commenting, and following my blog! Can I ask how you found me?

ReplyDeleteFun family event. I love how your family is such an example of big family love and happiness.
ReplyDelete(New follower to your blog).
Fun, fun, fun. You just gave me an idea for our Easter Egg Hunt next weekend. LOL. You have a beautiful family. I've been having a hard time doing the "link to this post" thing. It keeps saying something about my email already existing. I'm trying again. Thanks for the birthday wishes.
ReplyDeleteWOW! It's so awesome that your family is large enough to have such a contest! Love it :))

Sounds like lots of fun...and the winners got $1...I had to laugh!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! Happily following back : )
ReplyDeleteWow! So much fun and $1...That too good to miss!
ReplyDelete:-) The winner got a dollar! Little chance that the winnings will go to their heads, huh?!
ReplyDeletePearl
I guess this means lots of egg salad and hard boiled eggs for lunch!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like so much fun! I haven't painted eggs in years. Maybe next year my husband and I can paint them with my daughter.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. And so much *fun* LOL.
ReplyDeleteFollowing from Unicorn Bell, moderator Huntress.
Great idea.One Thanksgiving each family brought one dozen chocolate chip cookies to the dinner (any recipe).The three oldest men were the judges.It was fun and the men were funny.
ReplyDeleteomg looks n ice :d
ReplyDeleteWow..72 eggs? I guess you will have many meals with them, and it's a great idea to have a contest! Fun fun fun...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool. At Halloween, we all carve our own pumpkins -- but that's just five of us. But we do have a contest, though everyone's vote usually cancels everyone else's out. We have already dyed eggs too...but sure they aren't as fancy as some of yours. Neat post.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dear,, I follow you back... Wow, looks everyone excited for easter. Have a good day :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks like Sooooo much fun!
ReplyDeleteVery sweat blog. :}}} Like and followe :)))

We used to get pretty creative with egg decorating. Seems like a lost art in our family. It's wonderful to see the family fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by and following me. I'm following you back!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of eggs to color. I love coloring Easter eggs with the kids but we usually keep it to two dozen!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's amazing! I love coloring Easter eggs! Thanks for stopping by my blog today and following! I'm following back on GFC and Linky Follower.

ReplyDeleteThank you for checking out my blog and the follow :) I am following you back and love this post. Looks like you had a ton of fun and are so lucky to have such a huge family!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely! You can do lots of egg picking with them (in case that is a uniquely german thing, two people each hold an egg and then bang the eggs against each other, the one that had the egg that doesn't break continues with the next person, the one who's egg broke has to eat it).
ReplyDeletei love your blog! thank you so much for the lovely comments you leave on mine. I am always a bit intimidated by the number of comments you get and am not sure if you really want to read another one, which is why i often dont comment :-)
anyway, wishing you a wonderful easter!
lots of love

I want to thank you for sharing this at my Bunny Hop Party last week. I am so sorry to be this late to come and visit, but as you know I have been preoccupied... Thank you for you kind comments and support. I do have good news... my husband got a job. I shared about this on this week's party.
ReplyDeleteI also know that you had some very good news too. I also know how it is to wait for the results of a MRI.
i hop you have a wonderful Easter with your family!

I tend not to write a bunch of responses, but i did a few searching and wound up

And I do have a couple of questions for you
if you usually do not mind. Could it be only me
or does it look as if like a few of these comments come across like they are written by brain dead individuals?
:-P And, if you are posting at other online social sites,
I'd like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Would you make a list of the complete urls of your communal pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
