    We always have a little competition to see who can paint the best egg, the second from top right is supposed to be me:

    There's usually a Rooney or similar but as Man Utd have been so poor this season our resident fan could only manage this:

    Then we go and roll them down the garden, there's a prize for the longest roll and for the longest surviving egg.

    Anyone else paint eggs?

            Aww!!! :wub2:

            So, tell me: is the "prize" a lamb? A young goat? Just wondering how much of your youth has stayed with you :)

            We would have done the egg painting but:-
            ~ only youngest son is home ... and he is of the IT age :doh:
            ~ Mr "M" is working nights ... not long enough for the paint to dry between waking and working :doh:
            ~ I'm dyslexic with drawing/painting :wallbanging:

            Other than that though ... I'm good to roll :)

              these are spectacular (taken online - random pic). But yours John are also very nice and I see that the kids are enjoying them!
