Easter Bunny has been BUSY

The kids have hinted a few times that they have been wanting to have an Easter Egg Hunt. I wasn't sure if I was up for the challenge, but after reading Running Man's comment I realized that this would be a great tradition to start and I probably don't have too many years left to do it as they won't be believers of Mr. E. Bunny for too many years to come. I began the process on Friday and hit good old Wal-Mart. Trevor and I decided that we didn't want to pump the kid's full of chocolate and decided to just get them a few pieces. We thought it would be a better idea just to get them a Nintendo DS game each, which is exactly what I did. Friday night following our outing at the movies to watch "Hannah Montana The Movie" and after the kid's were tucked away in bed I began coming up with clues for the hunt. I think I probably worked on it for an hour and half and came up these ten clues (some of them are pretty cheezey, but the kids are only 6 and 8):

CLUE #1

Roses are Red

Violets are Blue

This is where you go

When Brushing teeth is what you do.

CLUE #2

I just arrived…something that is new.

Look inside the blue box for a treat

for just you two.

CLUE #3

C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C these are some notes you can play on me.

It’s been a while since you played the , but play

a song and you will find me.

CLUE #4

Do you like to run races?

Well put on your running shoes, but don’t tie your laces.

Then you’ll find something that’ll

Give you smiley faces

CLUE #5

Eating-Eating is something you love to do.

Look inside your lunch kit and you’ll find something

Just for you.

CLUE #6

Homework is never fun to do, but the place you put

It when it’s done is the place you should

Look for a little fun

CLUE #7

Hoping to find something that’s really neat?

Go outside where the birds like to eat

CLUE #8

The newspaper goes inside this box.

Look inside and you will find something

That really rocks

CLUE #9

There is a vase underneath the picture of the family.

Look inside and you’ll find something

That is super crazy

CLUE #10

This is the final clue

Wet clothes get dried in these type of machines.

I hope you had fun and always remember what

Easter really means J

After spending the afternoon/evening at my parent's place we came home and played some games with the kids and then we put them to bed and started hiding the clues. I can't wait till tomorrow as I think they will have a blast.

Tomorrow after church we are off to Trevor's parent's place for some more food. Man alive...I love food and after this weekend I am going to really have to buckle down on what I put in my mouth. My half marathon is coming up here pretty darn quick. Only 2 weeks away....tomorrow is only 1 hr and 20 on the bike, so that's not too bad...I better get to bed....
