Easter is another lovely excuse to consume mass quantities of chocolate. And Peeps. We need more candy-oriented holidays.

The town's Easter Egg Hunt was yesterday. It was nice and all, but it was really more of an Easter Egg Harvest than a Hunt. The eggs are all on the ground in a field, and the challenge is simply grabbing all you can before the couple hundred other kids snatch 'em up. And pretty much all the hunts my daughters have ever done, in Miami, in South Carolina, and here, have been like this. Meh.

What happened to the cool Easter Egg Hunts I remember?

So late last night, in between posts [Wink] , I took a bunch of plastic eggs filled with Sweettarts and hid them in our living room--some in subtle places, and some not so subtle. This morning the girls had a hunt there--much smaller in scope, but cooler, I think. Banana found a couple more than Mango, and got a special prize* for that--a Cadbury Egg--but both had a great time.

Right on. [Cool]


* To clarify, I told them that they would split the Sweettarts evenly, regardless of who found more, but that whoever found more would get a special prize. That way, if one kid found substantially more, both kids would still get roughly the same amount, but the kid who got more would still get rewarded.

I went over to my brother's house today and had Easter there. It was his first time cooking Easter dinner, and he did an AMAZING job. I was so proud of him. He even made scalloped potatoes just like my mom makes. Then we had fun dying eggs. They bought this cool Ukranian egg dying kit, where you put wax on the egg in order to preserve the color that's underneath, and then you dip it in all sorts of diffent colors. It was a good time.

I hope your day is happy and bright! Happy Easter!

hey, welcome back!

Ah, I went over to my grandparents and chowed down on some serious southern cooking. Wow does my grandma make the best cornbread in existence. Then I took a nap, then came home, now I think I'm gonna watch Serenity. Life is good.

Icarus last year we did something like that, except with actual Easter eggs, you know? My parents hid them troughout our house and the yard and all my relatives had to find them. The problem was that my parents have really bad memory and there were like 4 eggs that no one found. About a month later our house started smelling like rotten eggs and it took us forever to find the lost eggs, lol.

We went to an Easter dinner/ egg hunt at my cousin's house. The participants were 8 (but a little delayed emotionally), 6 (but very mature), 2, and 1 1/2, so some of the eggs were in the open-- but some were actually hidden. As usual, one went missing-- 76 hidden, only 75 found. But Emma, once she figured out what she was supposed to be doing, found 14! And really, I only pointed out the first few (and didn't point at them, just said, "Do you see an egg over there?") before she got the hang of it and found even some of the tougher ones that the older kids missed. We have some adorable pictures that I'll post as soon as they're resized and uploaded (although she refused to wear her bonnet.) [Smile]

When we used to dye eggs, we would draw on them with white crayon, then dye them. The crayon made cool little white pictures.

[ROFL]

We completed our day in atraditional Easter fashion. First we went roller skating. The girls don't know how, yet, but they seemed to have fun all the same. Then we went to a drive-in theater and saw The Wild. Then the girls ate half of their Easter Bunnies*, and I ran them around and tickled them for about fifteen minutes to work off the chocolate energy and hasten the sugar crash. They just went to bed; 10:30 is unbelievably late for them!

What a nice day. [Smile]

* That sounds weird. Let me clarify again: each child ate half of her [single] chocolate bunny.

Blue peeps are so much sweeter than yellow peeps.

If it is at all possible for a sugar-coated marshmallow to be made sweeter.
