The Egg Hunt Begins



And who knows when it will end. Man firmly believes that egg hunts should be a challenge. Our only criteria this year was to keep it inside. Just to liven things up a bit he went and got a package of super-sneaky, prefilled eggs that have strings, suction cups, and glue dots so you can hide eggs absolutely anywhere. We have them glued under our table, suction cupped in the shower, and hanging from hooks and lines, not to mention the more traditional eggs nestled everywhere. They aren't filled with a whole bunch, but there are plenty of them. Man had a lot of fun hiding them and Tag was so excited that he woke up at 11:30 last night and started looking around. After putting the disappointed little guy back in bed, they woke up at 6:30 this morning and we woke up to squeals of glee and discovery. Princess is really, really good at finding eggs, but she's also really good at hiding things, too. Tag finds eggs and immediately opens them whereas Princess is very focused and just hunts and hunts until she's ready to sit down with her enormous take and paw through it. She's a very sweet girl (not just from the candy) and willingly shares with her brother.

While walking around, toting a ponderously clacking and rattling bag of eggs, Princess declared "this is a good day. I like this day."

Little does she know that the way Man hides eggs, she will likely have other mini-good days for weeks to come.
