This year, the girls had a bright idea.
Apr. 8th, 2012 05:54 pmAs we discussed dying eggs, they announced that this year THEY wanted to hide the eggs and WE would look for them.
After regaling them with the story of That Time We Lost An Egg we said they could, but they'd better make a list. So they got up early this morning and ate fluffernutters for breakfast (??? as you might guess, they fed themselves today) and hid eggs and after the eggs sat in the hot sun for several hours we found them! Or Jenn found them, I mostly weeded the garden and if I found any it was only by accident.
They had a lot of fun, and they had the good sense to hide all the eggs outside so if we did lose one it's no big deal. (Of course, they mostly did this in "the back alley" which is really other people's backyards, and while those people don't seem to mind the kids playing back there they might mind us leaving rotting eggs there. Still, we don't seem to have lost any except the beet eggs that the girls never even found to hide in the first place.)
