We had a big day yesterday! 5 of the 6 nephews were present as well as all 3 nieces. By the time everyone got home from worship services and ate lunch it was probably 4ish when we got to the egg hunting. Egg hunting isn't what it use to be!
This generation in my family doesn't hunt the hard boiled eggs colored the night before. This group of kids hunt plastic eggs with toys, candy, and money inside. I imagine it is the way with most families these days. As sis #2 and I were filling these plastic things at about 1am Sat. night I made a rash statement. I said, "No wonder all the kids in our family are spoiled rotten! They need to be hunting the eggs they colored til the shells are cracked and falling off then go inside several hours later and make deviled eggs!"
Nobody got sick. Nobody died. And we sure didn't get prizes! She just thought I was cranky(per usual) and said the kids would remember it forever. I doubt it.
We had about 12 eggs that were so cracked they didn't make the dye cups. Snort, who is 2, was dropping those poor things into the dye like a bomb from a B-24! No kidding. Funny how the smell never changes either. I'm guessing it's the vinegar. But combined with the eggs it has a little different whang to it.
I hope you all had a fun day too!
