eggs…and a Happy Day.

every year, i struggle to decide what technique to use when hard boiling eggs. sometime they turn out, sometimes they don’t. but, thanks to my sister-in-law, Lisa, i think i’ve found a keeper! i think this is the perfect recipe, just in case you need a good one!

first off, make a single layer of eggs in a large pot, and cover with cold water, an inch above the eggs.

cover, and bring to a boil.
immediately, turn heat to low, cover pot, and simmer for 15 minutes.
after 15 minutes, take pot off heat, and gently run cold water over the eggs in the pot. do this for 5 minutes.
they peel easily and perfectly:
and are perfectly hard cooked, and maintain a great color (no gray!)
can’t wait to dye them this evening!

this morning we went to our local grocery store (another reason to love it…see here), for a neighborhood Easter Egg hunt throughout the store.

i’m not sure it gets any cuter than searching for Easter Eggs in the produce section!

Daddy tried to convince the bug that an eggplant qualified as an Easter Egg…she wasn’t buyin’ it!

my kids’ breakfast consisted of tootsie rolls and swedish fish . i’m pretty sure its not gonna get any better for the rest of the weekend!

i’ll leave you with the lyrics and a link to listen to an amazing song, that really describes the way i long for my family to celebrate this special day tomorrow!

go here to hear it!

OH HAPPY DAY:

Tim Hughes

The greatest day in history, Death is beaten
You have rescued me
Sing it out Jesus is alive
The empty cross, The empty grave
Life eternal You have won the day
Shout it out Jesus is alive
He’s alive

Chorus:
Oh happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh happy day, happy day
I’ll never be the same
Forever I am changed

When I stand, in that place
Free at last, meeting face to face
I am Yours Jesus You are mine
Endless joy, perfect peace
Earthly pain finally will cease
Celebrate Jesus is alive
He’s alive

Oh happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh happy day, happy day
I’ll never be the same OHH NO
Forever I am changed

Oh what a glorious day
What a glorious way
That You have saved me
Oh what a glorious day
What a glorious name

YEAHHH

Oh happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh happy day, happy day
I’ll never be the same
Forever I am changed

What a glorious glorious day,
I’ll never be the same

hope you enjoy THE Happy Day tomorrow, and celebrate with everything in you that the tomb was empty,
