Today the kids had the first Easter Egg hunt of the weekend this afternoon at Lyons Park.
It was actually more of a dash than a hunt, when the horn blew signaling the start, all the kids bolted towards the eggs that were scattered on the grass. Jayd was insistent of staying with her sister, so she was in the 1st-2nd grade section and didn't stand a chance. I saw her get an egg, but it must have fell out of her basket somewhere along the way, because it wasn't there at the end. Kaidyn ended up with only one egg and then a nice little boy gave each of the girls one of his eggs because he ended up with
a lot. Jett also ended up with only one egg thanks to a generous child because he was more interested in the other kids. The kids enjoyed it just the same, and the highlight was getting their picture taken with the Easter bunny.
We just finished coloring the eggs. Hint: an upset toddler, tongs and several cups of coloring dye do not mix. Jett enjoyed putting the eggs in the cups and pulling them out, but when I took the egg and dye from him after he was trying to drink it, he grabbed a nearby set of tongs and threw them. Of course he knocked over several of the cups of dye which spilled all over the island (not a big deal because the wood is very dark), and the floor (kind of a big deal because the floor is very light--oh yeah and new!!) . Oh well, after cleaning up the floors,
there is only a faint shade of reddish pink visible, and you can't really see the yellow and fortunately, the blue only spilled on the island.
