Easter was spread out for us this year. On the Friday before Easter, the kids and I had an Easter egg hunt at my sister's house in Washington.
The kids got to hunt eggs with their cousin, Owen, and that doesn't happen every year.
I'm not sure when Josh will decide he's too old to look for colored eggs but it doesn't appear to be anytime soon.
Some of the eggs were marked with money amounts and the kids would win that prize if that found a prize egg.
Owen was really excited about the prize eggs.
Easter morning was our first morning back home from our Washington trip. I'd snuck off to the Dollar Tree the night before to buy basket items.
We had no plans for Easter day so we just relaxed most of the morning.
I thought for sure that since Josh and Carley had already had an egg hunt in Washington that I wouldn't have to dye and hide eggs at home. I was so wrong.
Carley insisted that we needed to dye eggs. She counted 36 eggs in the fridge, got out the food color, cups, a pan and told me she was ready. How could I resist that?
Josh was happy about it too. I was happy I had everything on hand.
After the eggs were dry, I hid them. The kids had their second Easter egg hunt in our backyard.
Later Easter day, we made an impromptu stop at my cousin's house for another egg hunt. It was the kids third hunt of the weekend. They made out. Lucky kids.
