The weather held out long enough on Easter weekend to enjoy an impromptu backyard plastic egg hunt. The kiddos tried to cover their eyes inside while I hid our stash of eggs all over the backyard. I'm sure their excitement got the best of them and they stole a peek or two.
Since we have one big and one little, each hiding place was carefully chosen. Some eggs were really obvious for EK & the others carefully hidden to require extra looking power. Hunting for anything in our house can prove challenging with Miller man--this was great practice for him.
6 years and almost 3 is a great season in our house. Miller's beginning to really understand and apply how he should nurture a little sister. We're coaching him about opening doors and helping her. He is enjoying taking on the older brother with wisdom {lots to share} role.
There was a lot of ground to canvas. Eggs in between branches, on the playscape, in our barren garden chicken wire fence, under leaves and laying out in the open camouflaged in the grass.
Our Easter baskets were already assembled in the basement so I had to scramble in our storage room to find additional baskets for our spur of the moment plan. Miller's always a "go with the flow" champ--even when his basket didn't have a handle on it.
Candy eating on the deck. Their hard work paid off!
Colored jelly beans made this girl so happy--especially the pink ones!
