On the hunt...

Let me tell you something about my kids.

They are amazing hunters.

You don't believe me?

Well, it's true. 

They can hunt an Easter egg like a boss. 

Or something else that's a really good hunter.

And that's a good thing, because a) we have tons of plastic eggs and 2) they had tons of egg hunts this year. 

Starting with the annual Kindergarten Egg Hunt at Rad's school. (That also doubles as a "math lesson". #publiceducationloophole)

Parents got help "hide" the eggs and let me tell you that Radley was sorely disappointed that they were "just in the field". He was hoping for some hard core hunting.

Each kid got 8 eggs filled with candy or stickers or money(!) and then they got to hang out at the park for an hour or so. I love his teacher... she is really the best!

The hunting continued on Friday morning at a neighborhood egg hunt. This was seriously a morning of answered prayers. We were playing outside one day and this lovely momma is jogging by with her two kiddos and stops.

"THERE ARE KIDS ON THIS STREET!!"

Our thoughts exactly.

We all introduced ourselves and a few days later an invitation to this egg hunt appears in our mailbox. 

We had the best morning with amazing weather, new friends and lots of fun.

LOTS of new friends.

Marci and her husband had the best set up and the kids got to enjoy lots of yummy food, games and crafts. Then she gathered them all together to talk about the real meaning of Easter.

You know, the part other than all the candy and suckers.

They sat and listened so well and when she asked what Easter was about, I was proud to hear Emmy and Radley pipe up "JESUS!!!" And then Emmy continued, "Yeah. He died. On a cwoss. Mean people killed him." 

And then it was time to line up for the hunt.

They sent them in age groups so Emmy and Landry got to start first.

Landry was not thrilled.

(But she was well accessorized.)

Holding back the stampeded...

And then they were off!

Radley found more than his fair share, and was only a little miffed when I made him forced him politely asked him to share.

Hope your Easter weekend was full of answered prayers, too!
