the egg hunters

well , we had a really weak showing at the lilburn park easter egg hunt. it was actually the most pathetic easter egg hunt ive ever been a part of. first of all, they didnt even have the plastic eggs that you put candy in.. they had just thrown down a bunch of those nasty hard candy eggs that have the white lining inside and taste like poop. secondly, they seriously put out 100 eggs for about 5 million kids. let me recap the event for you.. "ok kendall lets go find some eggs" (we take 4 steps and 2 seconds pass) "oh wow, looks like they are all gone sweetie, lets go home" kendall got one mercy egg on our way out from a parent who chunked one at her foot so we could pretend Kendall had found it. the funniest part of it all is that my kids got one piece of candy a piece but talked about it all weekend. we did play on the playground, so the morning wasnt a total loss. next year, they should really just advertise to leave your baskets at home because as long as you have one working hand (or even a prosthetic hand) you will have NO problem carrying your loot home. dont these people know the real meaning of Easter??

So.. after being tired out from the big hunt, we ate dinner at Chilis. Kevin and I wanted to find a table where we could see the TV to watch the final four game. After the hostess talked us out of trying boosters at a high top table, we finally found a table where we could barely see the TV and would just take turns running up to see the score. Mason had already asked me 15 times if I could help him with the crossword puzzle on his kids menu to which i had replied, "no, mommys watching TV." Suddenly, I see this lady frantically running toward us from across the restaurant and then watch her remove a huge steak knife from Kendall's mouth. These are the moments in life when you just do the fake laugh and act like you are a complete moron.

    Sorry:(

    Sounds like that egg hunt was really bad..... but the important thing is that you got pictures and that your kids look really cute:)

    Well, at least the hunt at the church had eggs for all the kids!

    Our neighborhood hunt was almost as bad. Peyton did manage to find 6 eggs before all the older kids filled up their baskets to the top.

    That cracks me up about the knife, only because I am sure this baby will be "in danger" of doing the same.

    We went to a hunt last year at Briscoe, and it was literally in a field, not really exciting. The parents hogged all the eggs at that one....your story makes me want to just do one at home and not bother!

    eww.. those eggs the kids are chomping on are nasty! trip had a hunt at 'school' (mother's day out). he didn't really about it much. the church next to our house is having one on saturday, we talked about going... we'll see.

    laughing out loud about the steak knife. at least you were enjoying your dinner & the game. i can barely enjoy myself when we eat out b/c i am so worried the kids will make a scene that i am constantly watching & shushing them!

    OMG! I used to love those eggs...you're nuts! I would have been talking about it all weekend too.
    When I was little my parents took us to Easter Egg hunts but I was too stupid to find any eggs. There is actual photographic proof of this, in the form of an old picture where my dad is POINTING OUT eggs right in front of my face.

    Those eggs are disgusting. The fourth annual Spears egg hunt is tomorrow - you are definitely invited - Huntsville is not THAT far!

    Jonathan had his egg hunt ast week at his MMO. Each child got to find 12 eggs (there are only 10 kids). I had to stop myself from fussing b/c he would pick up the empty eggs that the other kids had already taken the candy out of. I didn't know if the empty ones counted as part of his 12!!! (I made sure that I did the counting of his bag) I mean- free candy folks!!
