Easter Egg Hunt

Here are some shots from Connor's preschool egg hunt. He already had chocolate on his face from the cookie and juice party they had before the hunt.
The line up...

The searching...

The prize! I couldn't believe some parent would buy 22 whistles to give to other people's kids, I'd rather have candy that ensures a nice quiet sugar low than a loud whistle all day. Too bad it broke on the walk home, Whew! Luckily, Connor was more into the sweets than the whistle anyway.

Connor listening to his teacher dismiss them for Spring Break. I think he just wanted out of there so he could finish looking at all his loot. On the way home he said, "Mom, I just loved that whole day!"

Easter Egg Hunt

On Friday we went to a local farm for an Easter Egg Hunt. It was the most disorganized egg hunt I have ever seen. First the woman in charge sent Connor and his friends to start looking for eggs, but there were none. The children didn't seem to notice. Then she sent her 9 year old son to hide some eggs--right in front of the kids. They didn't seem to notice. When we pointed to the eggs they cheered for themselves for finding the eggs and put them in their baskets. Then a woman went around with a huge 2-foot diameter bucket filled with brightly colored plastic eggs and hid them right in front of the kids. You guessed it, THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO NOTICE! They each "found" 3 eggs and the other moms and I shuffled them out of there. We couldn't decide which was worse, the disorganization or the cluelessness. The kids had a great time and were completely thrilled with themselves, and that is all that matters.
