After a productive week at the other Burke household, several dozen dyed eggs became a part of the Easter dinner preparations today at THIS Burke household.  Autmn and I had a busy morning, with more to look forward to this afternoon.

After normal household chores – like changing/washing sheets, treadmill, shower, breakfast – we ran some errands and were home before 11am.  Then it was the attack of the egg shellers. 

We had them done in a snap – many hands make light work! – and Autmn happily laid claim to all the colorful shards.  The work had just begun!

Boiled potatoes got chopped, and then we added a few eggs – a little mayo and some spices and we had potato salad.  Next came the egg salad, which she diced to perfection!  Good job, Autmn!  But in her opinion, the best was yet to come.

Autumn sliced the eggs in half and scooped out the yoke into a separate bowl.  We stirred and mixed and scooped and there was the finished product! She insisted in being the taste-tester, ‘just in case!’  What a kid to take one for the team!

We are going to take a break outside for a few minutes, then get a jump on things for the over-worked Easter Beagle and fill several million (well, slight exaggeration!) plastic eggs with candy for tomorrow’s anticipated Easter Egg Hunt.  A big thanks to Autmn for the expert help!  And a happy Easter to all of you!
