I put out 3 LARGE eggs. When we have Easter in our home or at my parents there is always a golden egg. In this egg there is always $10 or $20. My mom will put out a few more eggs with money in them. This year I put out the large eggs and did not tell them how much the egg was worth. I did say it could be worth .10 cents or $10. The rules were you could not steal eggs from each others baskets if their hands were on their basket. You could however steal their big egg *since there were only 3 and their are 4 participants. I did not tell them that there were really FOUR EGGS in all.
We had so much fun with our egg hunt this year! I thought as the children grew older that we would have less fun with the bunny and the egg hunting. WHAT was I thinking? I am a big giant kid at heart and of course my children would be the same! I did mention in a post or two that we are an extremely competitive family.
Warrior found the big egg rather quickly and he found many candy filled eggs as well. He went out to "snatch" another large egg. When he did Sweetheart and Dash raided his basket of all the filled eggs. We laughed so hard at all of them playing and having fun. When it was over everyone shared their candy and they each had a large egg. These pictures are just a glimpse at how much fun it was.
Look at Beauty on the ground? I love my family! They are so much fun to be around! They have Monday and Tuesday off and we said NO OUTSIDERS ALLOWED! only our family! We have enjoyed each other. There was no fighting. I like saying no to the world and media, etc. Don't let me mislead you. They can fight and argue with the best of them but they do show glimpses of heaven every now and then.
We came home on Sunday and we ate and then crashed. We took it easy because the children are off for the next two days. We actually had our egg hunt on MONDAY but I had written a few posts and saved them on Sunday because I wanted to have the Easter Sunday date. Tricky huh?

We really enjoyed our laid back Spring Break also. Isn't it amazing how nice life can be with JUST FAMILY? I think sometimes we get so busy that we forget how much fun we are....and of course we need to pat ourselves on the back...why do you think it is that our families are SO FUN....yep, that would be because you and I are fun. Isn't it great to be a cool mom!?
I know Alice! I wish it could be like this always. But, back to the old grind tomorrow. School starts again. I am not going to work this week.
