Easter Hunt 2009

Was a bit more of a challenge this year with the Easter Egg Hunt... I had to head downstairs at 5am to hide all of the Easter Eggs and just hope that while I was down there that Jade didn't wake up if she heard Blake...

Poor Rob had to wake up early so that he could entertain Blake and keep him quiet... (Blake's day generally starts at 5am if I'm lucky or 4am if he's being mean... today he was kind enough to wait until 5...)

Once I'd hidden all of the eggs (mainly in the new shed - then I realised that the sky is actually blue - as opposed to all the clouds and rain that we had last night - so I hid a few eggs around the yard - but it's really hard to do when it's so dark at that time)... Anyway, once I'd hidden the eggs and Blake's toy - I had to do a letter from the Easter Bunny (so that Jade knew that the toy wasn't for her!)

Letter from the Easter Bunny

Jade up and dressed - complete with Bunny Ears and ready to hunt...

Gotta love hiding eggs for 3yr olds...  makes it easy to spot if there are any she hasn't found!
(also Blake's toy)

Found another egg!

A Bunny Egg!!!
(she still hadn't spotted the toy or the two eggs on the panniers!!!)

Next year the shed wont be so empty - so probably wont be a good hiding place....

Motorcycles can hold eggs too.. unfortunately not as well as I'd hoped... the one egg fell a couple of times and the only place I could put it was on the tank - everywhere else it just fell off....  (I blame Triumph!)

Blake got his bunny!

Counting the eggs to see how many we're missing!

We'd only finished about 10seconds before - and the first egg was already unwrapped!

the first hole...

Jade had handed out parts of this egg before this photo, and at a bit herself...

then she decided that the bunny had to be stripped of his wrapper... so that he could be broken up and put into a box....



Poor Bunny!!!

Blake exhausted after all the excitement!


We're just waiting for Blake to wake up now so that we can head over to Jaime & Damian's to take Xander his egg and see everyone for Easter...
