Happy Easter y’all! I had a brain storm last night about what to put in the plastic eggs for the egg hunt because I don’t like doing candy since the basket is already full of it. I ended up cutting letters out and putting a message in the eggs that E needs to arrange to figure out. This has currently entertained him for an hour and still going strong. 10/10 would recommend for older kids.

I was lazy this year since L and M had egg hunts at the library and church this week. ETA sorry, I forgot to say Happy Easter too!

Happy Easter! We went pretty light on the baskets this year, and only hid 6 eggs for the day. They only found 3, even though they're literally on their play things. This is making me question my college savings for them XD (j/k)

We did baskets, a few candy items each, two nice blankets for the older two, and a switch game.
Then the older two hide eggs for the youngest (jelly beans and chocolate eggs).
I spent the rest of the day battling a headache and trying to prep three closets for painting. I still need to sand one spot and wipe down the ceilings.
Happy Easter!

That's a really good idea grumpycakes! Going to try to remember it for next year.

We did a treasure hunt with clues. We put some really simple things in their easter basket with the first clue. At each location they got 1 egg each (filled with candy) plus the next clue. They each got 12 eggs and loved it. I'm looking forward to doing it for years to come. It also helps keep them from ripping apart the house looking for eggs, since they generally know where they're headed.

I'm the not fun parent and we don't do any egg hunts 🫣
Their baskets had baking aprons, a new book for each, a little baby chicken stuffy, and candy (Reese's eggs, haribo berry candy, bubble gum, and pez refills)
