Easter Egg Hunting


Last Friday, our playgroup had an Easter egg hunt for all the kids. Talk about an event. Imagine 13 wee ones between nine and 16 months ambling around a yard. Now envision twice that many parents and grandparents following them around with cameras trying to keep them focused on collecting plastic eggs and not eating the wood chips. It was laughable, let me tell you.
Kim, who was hosting, was sweet enough to fill the eggs with goldfish crackers for the kids to eat. The Bean loves goldfish. So as she's picking up eggs, she shakes one and decided to see what's inside. Well, that was the end of the hunt for her for awhile. She happily sat down and began munching away, only to renew the search when her supply ran out.


Other highlights:
Luci taking off her bunny-ear headband was predictable. But then she decided it was her moral obligation to take the ears off all the other kids too. She had this look of determination, "No, babies don't have big ears. Bunnies have big ears. Babies are not bunnies."
















Afterward she ran off without me, crawled up in chair, grabbed a muffin off the table and began to chow down. Easter egg hunts are hard work mom!
