We realized yesterday that we hadn’t really thought about taking Smushy to an official Easter Egg Hunt, so we scrambled around and checked the internet and found a couple of options. One would cost us $150 for an egg hunt and brunch. No. Joke. The other was $20 for just a hunt and technically that was only because we had to pay for the non-hunting adults. So silly, but since it was cheaper, we went with it.
I hadn’t thought to prep her, but decided to tell her what to do just before we went in. The eggs are hiding and we need to find them because there is CANDY! inside. Toddlers totally understand sugar. We started out by pointing out a few eggs to her so she’d get it. Then she figured it out and started finding them on her own. I did not want to be one of those asshole parents who finds 20 eggs and steals them all for her kid. Smushy walked away with about 8 eggs, which is pretty decent and even managed to snag one right before a big kid did and I didn’t even point it out to her. She had a really good time. As long as she didn’t have to go anywhere near the Easter Bunny. She is not a fan of 6 foot tall fuzzy creatures.
Bonus awesomness of the day? I totally managed to get everyone showered, dressed, and ready to go ON TIME!! That includes brushing Smushy’s hair, which is an accomplishment on the best of days.
Waiting patiently
Then we went to lunch. Smushy spent the time checking out the loot.
Doodle likes to be held. A lot. He pretty much slept the whole time in the Babyhawk. Awesome.
