Easter

We had a somewhat untraditional Easter this year, it was too wet for the EASTER (yes I said Easter, not Spring!!) Bunny to hide the eggs outside, so we had an indoor egg hunt. Mitch boiled up 18 eggs, and we all dyed and decorated them in preparation for the Easter Bunny to come and hide them.



After we dyed the eggs, we had fun dressing up in the Easter Bunny hat that Brett had made at school! We made ourselves laugh anyway ;)



The following morning the kids hunted for eggs inside the house, and Brett found 9 and Emma found 8. Wait - that's only 17!! What happened to the 18th egg?? Mitch figures we will find it when it starts to smell bad, and he also says we should have made the Easter Bunny write down where the eggs were hid!! After searching high and low, Mitch remembers that Braeden ate one of the eggs before they got decorated, so although 18 were boiled - only 17 were decorated and left for the Easter Bunny to hide! Phew!!!

We had an excellent meal, spent some time with our neighbors and enjoyed the sunshine that came out that afternoon. We hope you all enjoyed your Easter as much as we did!
