Down to two…

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I post a picture and just a few words.

S&Z after egg hunt

Last year, Joshua and Lisey participated in egg hunting, but for some reason, this year they both opted out.

Sonia and Zoe are still solidly in the, “Easter egg hunting is awesome.” camp, though.   😉

And Lisey has discovered that helping to hide the eggs is actually even more fun than looking for eggs.

(Normally it’s a little chilly to hide eggs outdoors, but this year, the weather was lovely and warm, so we moved it outside.   Yay for warm weather!)

We had 3 hunting in earnest this year (one is not yet mobile). It was really fun -- though it did make us late to church (sigh).

So you have yet to reach the 4-hunter stage! It IS a lot of fun. With 4 kids and the age-spread, we usually give each kid their own area to find eggs so that the older kids don't find them all. I think that'll be less important with just two egg hunters now, though.

I'm envious of the weather in those pictures! Our Easter was rainy/slushy/sleety and those pretty dresses at church were covered up by sweaters:) The second picture is priceless.

Oh, that stinks. Rainy/slushy is so awful...it's not beautiful like snow is, but it's still really cold and nasty.

Somewhat sad, somewhat neat, and that second picture is great.

Yes, it's a wee bit sad! But fortunately we do still have TWO egg hunters. And I don't mind that Lisey has realized that half the fun is in the hiding of the eggs. ;)

Sonia is shaking the egg to see what's inside (peeps sound different than jelly beans, you know?)

Hmmmm.....my two oldest are 17 and 16 and still go on the hunt with their little brothers. I think they've shrewdly decided the contents of the eggs are worth it ha! I keep wondering when they will transition to the hiding side of the festivities! It's probably time :)

My oldest, who is almost 11, did not want to hunt this year, but he was very excited to hide the eggs for his 5 and 3 year old siblings. I greatly appreciate this, because holiday decorating/activities is just not something I'm either good at or enjoy very much. (He is also a tremendous help at Christmas, where he takes the lead in a lot of our holiday activities.)

To be fair, though, we decided that after the egg hunt, everybody would pool all the candy and share it. That way the oldest (and youngest, who didn't find as many eggs) still got to enjoy.

Aren't you glad you have the two younger ones, though? When they opt out of such activities, it will be harder. But you have adorable nieces and nephews. Some distant day you will have grandkids like I do, and it so much fun the second time around. Or third, I guess, if you count our own childhood experiences. Thanks for the cute photos of the cute kiddos.

Yes! At least we have a few more years of hiding Easter eggs, so, yay!
