On the Hunt.

When we returned home from the farm, (see prior post) we discovered that the Easter bunny had hidden eggs. This year due to the cold weather, he left the eggs inside the house instead of outside. Lauren was the first one to notice when we came home. She immediately wanted to start collecting eggs. Mark found an egg on his train table and wanted to eat the candy rather than gather eggs. It took a little prodding, but finally he joined in the fun and both ended up with a basket full of eggs.

Lauren discovered a $1 bill in an egg. This is something new the Easter bunny left this year. A select few eggs had $1 bills instead of candy. Final total: Lauren $7, Mark $5.

Katie spent her Easter egg hunt watching he sister and brother run around like wild dogs in search of eggs. I am quite sure that next year she will be hunting for her own eggs!

The Easter bunny did leave one egg on Katie's highchair so she would not be completely left out. Lauren gave her the egg and she managed to open it up and discover the three foil wrapped chocolate Hershey's eggs contained inside. Before I knew it she had a whole chocolate egg in her mouth, foil included, and chocolate was dripping down her chin. I had to fish it out, much to her dismay, before she choked on the egg.
