Easter Egg Hunt & Coloring Eggs

Today was our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt. We weren't going to do it and I actually decided very last minute that we were. I raced to the ladies house on Thursday, the deadline to sign up, and dropped off our eggs. I'm so glad we went though. We have a really great neighborhood with great people in it. I was hoping this would give us a chance to get to know some of them more, but it really didn't. We have about 300 houses in our subdivision, which was originally farm land that belonged to the grandparents of Travis Tritt. (click HERE for the history. It's pretty cool!) Anyways, today there were probably 50 families represented at the egg hunt. Kids were everywhere so there was no real way to meet new people. The kids had a great time though and that's what is important.

Tonight we colored eggs with them. One tip I came up with this year and I'll pass on to all of you for next years egg dying, is to let the littlest kids use a spaghetti scooper to handle the eggs. It worked like a charm!! The eggs fit perfectly into the scoop and once they put the egg down in the color, they just flip it over and pull it out, leaving the egg behind. Great idea!!! Hope you all have a fabulous Eater!!

What a great looking group of kids!!!

See how great the spaghetti scooper worked?
