~Easter Traditions~
In the Easter tradition G and I colored Easter Eggs this morning! G focused on putting his friend's names on the eggs, while I stuck with the more tradition Easter egg designs. Can I just say this day is the entire reason I have coffee cups!

Then on the Saturday before Easter our friends the Hull Family have a GREAT tradition of an Easter Egg Hunt. Everyone they know is invited. Everyone is required to provide either 2 bags of candy or 2 dozen real hard boiled eggs (before hand) then they have them ready to go when you get there! Here is G and his friend, trying to be patient, waiting for everyone to arrive. The field behind them is covered with colorful plastic eggs. I think the Hull's said they had over a 1000 eggs this year!

When they say GO and it's a free for all. Gather as many eggs as you can before they're all gone! Which only takes a few minutes. Once the gathering ends the counting begins, there is a GRAND prize of $1 for the most gathered. Then the eggs are emptied, you keep the candy and return the eggs. G had 52 eggs!

New Tradition?

G found these eggs at Wal-mart. They are "Lights out Egg Hunt"! Last night I hid (tossed) in the front yard after dark. G and W's girlfriend, J raced to see who could find the most. The eggs have a small glow in the dark stripe around them and then they had small flashlights! It was fun and COLD.

Skipper, the dog, thought it was great that I'd come outside to play ball with him! He'd run after the eggs ~ I finally had to just let him have an egg. He was so disappointed with it popped open thus making it not a 'ball' anymore!
