Easter seems to have snuck up on me this year

My husband laughed at me when I told him I had to get ready for our traditional easter egg hunt I do for the kids every year. He thinks the kids are getting a little old for it! HA! He said I'll probably our kids are going to be 19 years old and I'm still going to be having Easter egg hunts for them. I told him Alison would be severely disappointed if I don't do it! I asked her and of course she wants the easter egg hunt! When the kids were very small we used to go to the church for the easter egg hunts and of course, you would come home with more plastic eggs every year. I never threw them out..I just packed them up in the attic and get the down every year to re-use. Well, it got a little out of hand. Last year we had over 300 eggs! I don't even want to know how many their are this year...the kids got some brand new un-opened packages out of a neighbor's trash that was moving. We threw those up in the attic with the rest of them. Thank God we have a big yard! LOL It's costing a small fortune to "fill" all those eggs. We went out tonight and bought a few goodies and prizes for their easter baskets and dye. We'll dye eggs Sunday but I think we're going to do the egg hunt Saturday while the weather is still pretty. Since my kids are older, we hide the eggs really, really good for them and make it a challenge for them. Every now and then I find an egg we never located later in the season! Alison has invited a girl friend over for the hunt.

Tell your husband that your never to old to hunt Easter Eggs. The Easter Bunny hid over 200 eggs at my house and My son, my husband and my brother-in-law hunted eggs yesterday. Usually my brother and his ex-girlfriend and their girls come over and hunt too. Of course our eggs have coins in them. pennies are a cheap way to fill lots of eggs. then you give a prize to the person with the most pennies.
