Easter Weekend- Egg Hunt at Home

We had our Easter egg hunt right after church on Sunday (church starts at 8am and there was no way we were going to have an Easter egg hunt and be there on time). Benjamin loved finding the eggs in our living room. He did and said a couple funny things that we want to record so we won't forget. And hopefully you'll have a little chuckle too.

Benjamin found the first egg sitting on top of the piano keys on my keyboard. He put it in his basket with a little coaching from mom and dad. The second egg was right below the keyboard sitting in his Elmo chair Benjamin picks it up, takes one look at it and drop kicks it across the room. Jonathan and I were laughing pretty hard. It's pretty impressive that he can drop kick a tiny egg (I would have trouble doing that myself) but it's a little frustrating that he drop kicked an egg. Luckily, that was the only one he kicked. But don't think that means he didn't try to kick any other eggs.

While we were helping Benjamin find the eggs ("go look around the couch... try looking at the books..." etc) Benjamin was standing with his back toward to the windows in our living room when I asked him: "Do you think there are eggs by the windows?" He looked at me quite seriously and said, "Yes." and nodded his head. But he didn't turn around to look at the windows until I helped him do it.

Overall Benjamin enjoyed himself and we did too. He kept asking for more eggs to find even after he found them all. Then he spent time lining up all the eggs on the floor. Only six eggs got cracked- the one that was drop kicked, the one that fell off the top of the TV and the rest must have been cracked from Benjamin dropping them into his basket. Lots better than last year (click there for the video of Benjamin cracking pretty much every egg that was thrown into the basket).
