hunting eggs

Monday morning we all woke up with a cold.  Actually, Rowan woke up multiple times Sunday night with her cold and stuffy nose.  So we're all a bit draggy, tired, and grumpy this week.  It's not the plague-like cold that hit us last time, more like the Spring sniffles.  But we're feeling it.  Despite the colds, we HAD to go on the egg hunt this morning that Fletcher and Rowan's school had organized.  It is way too cold outside, so the egg hunt was relocated into the church.  Pretty sure it was my first egg hunt among church pews.  First time for everything!

We started out strong with all the other littles hunting for eggs.  Rowan's class all had cute bunny ears to help on the hunt.
Fletcher was fine with the 15 egg limit imposed, but Rowan was less than happy when I had to pull out about 10 extra eggs she had in her bucket.  She was one angry bunny.
 When we got back to the classroom to open the eggs, Fletcher and Rowan had the 10 mile stare going on, and were obviously exhausted.
So we're back home now, cuddling on the couch and recuperating from all that hunting.

  1. Uh, oh. They've brought spreading the wealth to egg hunts. If Rowan had the energy, the extra spring in her step, and the foxy know-how, I kinda think she should be able to have her eggs and keep them too. I'm just sayin. But I of course understand why they did that. But man, some kids just work harder. Very cute pictures! Hope you all cuddle and get better all day! xo

  2. Looks like fun- we'll see if Wyatt 'gets' the whole idea of looking for eggs this year. I hope spring makes an appearance before then too!

  3. Hope Rowan (et al) feel better soon! We were hit with a nasty stomach virus so I feel your pain.

  4. Girl can't help it that she's good at finding eggs! :) I hope you're feeling better by now, too. Being sick is so much less fun when you don't get to skip school.

  6. Sorry you guys aren't well. :( I had a little something this week too, but it passed quickly. The bunny ears are so adorable and the photos are great! I remember those hunts can be stressful. My kids would never be aggressive and others would, so they would end up disappointed. :) Jo
