Resurrection Day egg hunt

Yesterday’s celebrations went very well.

Everyone had to get up early because hubby and I had work to do at church. It was neat to see a lot of new faces and some that normally attend different service times. Our pastor spoke of prophecy and tied it to the movie, Knowing, which is in theaters right now. I love listening to studies in eschatology so I did wish the message was longer.

After church, we headed home with the plan of taking in a short hike before lunch. Plans worked out, though we opted for the trail in our neighborhood instead of heading out to the Zilker hike & bike trail. The weather couldn’t be better! The clouds and rain we woke up to gave way to beautiful, cloudless skies, perfect temps and a soft, cool breeze. Plus, we got to finally walk this trail I’ve often seen people exiting it, but never new where it led. Sprocket was happy, of course.

After lunch, hubby hid eggs for the boys. It was at this point that I missed seeing their cousins who we had intended to visit over the holiday. *Sniff* J got a perfect head start since they eventually ended up with roughly the same amount of eggs. It was neat to hear them both (mostly NM) yelling “EGGS!” and running around. They took about 20 minutes to find them all, just enough time for the peanutbutter cups to melt in the eggs hidden in and around the car. Afterwards, the boys went to enjoy their loot. Rather, J enjoyed most of his and NM saved most.

“What’s the most fun part about yesterday?

NM: “Finding the eggs.”

J: “Finding the eggs. I mean eating them because the jelly beans are really good!”

This year, we did boil eggs to decorate but we ended it there. I bought some plastic thingies you use to cover eggs—whodathunkit—they didn’t fit our extra-large eggs from Costco. Oh well. We’ll use the stickers instead.

Egg salad anyone?

    Glad you had a great day!

    Pippin is OBSESSED with plastic eggs. I gave her one one day and let her push it around until she started chewing on it then I threw it away. She spent the next twenty minutes rotating between barking at the trash can, barking at the cupboard where I hid the others!

    We had an egg hunt at my mom’s on Friday for Eli and Drew and it was the same thing: she saw me hide one in a planter for them and for the rest of the day whenever she went out, she went STRAIGHT to the planter to see if the egg was there.

    Silly Puppy!!

    Yeah…not good for doggies. We’ve seen what happens when she ingests stuff that’s not food…not good! No more stuffed animals for her, we have to play with Kong toys.
