Chocolate + Plastic Eggs + 75 Degrees = Disaster

Our Church's annual Pancake Breakfast and Easter Egg Hunt (I use that word loosely) was the first of our Easter weekend festivities. It's amazing to me how drastically things can change in a year. Last Easter, the kids were barely crawling so we just set them out in the grass and scooped some eggs up for them. Hey... photo op, right. This year, we could hardly keep up with them...


The announcer took like 5 minutes to go over the instructions. I thought we were going to have a major meltdown if she didn't say "go" FAST.

It looks like a mad house... it was.

Reese found it easiest to set her basket down and run for the eggs. It's a good thing we were at church... otherwise, they would have been stolen.

Tucker found the goodies inside very quickly. Speaking of goodies. Hey, don't put chocolate inside eggs when you know they are going to be sitting out in the heat. Duh. What a mess... kids were covered in chocolate everywhere.

Yep, the polka dots on her dress look just like Easter eggs. Maybe I did that on purpose.

Love that this little boy was checking out her stash.

Okay, so they came away with WAY too much candy. My church has egg recycle buckets all over though, so you can empty your eggs and leave them there for next year. Totally genius. You know how crazy I would be with those plastic eggs all over my house.

I'd say it was a hit... Easter eggs, bounce house, pancakes. Saturday morning doesn't get much better than that.

More Easter fun to come!
