Easter egg hunts

Well, they've changed blogger and I have no idea how to post a video....cause I have a doozy from our second easter egg hunt.  Nor can I adjust the centering of this text.... If anyone knows how to add the video in teh new, improved blogger,  please tell me how.  I also can't figure out how to spell check.

Anyway, we went to 2 easter egg hunts this weekend.  Kat got all of 2 eggs this year- doubled last year's take, so I guess that's progress.  I was surprised, as at the hunt here, she was scooping them up, but apparently in that competitive environment, she just moseyed though the field.  Anyway, she was happy with the chocolate eggs and pb cups from those two eggs and we headed to the playground to play.  Stepping into the playground, I saw a "golden" egg hidden in the mulch, so I pointed it out to Kat.  She picked it up and lost interest when she was that there was just paper inside it.  But we went over to the booth and she collected her 10-12 YO prize of a really cool slip & slide thing!  We'll be able to use that far sooner than 10 YO.  Though I was glad it wasn't the bike prize (which was also still out there), as I don't know what we would have done with that..... I probably would have given it away to some kid.

The second egg hunt (pink raincoat) was for chocolate covered eggs.  they just dumped bags of them in the field and let the kids go.  Except it wasn't just the kids....Poor Kat, who went on her own, never broke through the ring of adults who pressed in with their children (4 and under) to fill their baskets with more candy.  There were no golden eggs, no special prizes (not that that justifies it in the slightest), and still parents were in there.  Kat was not the only kid shut out entirely, I'm sure.  She never even saw an egg.  Luckily I came prepared and had some plastic eggs, with stuff inside, and we had our own little hunt in teh trees, at which she was quite successful.

Kat & I leave for FL on the red-eye Wed night.  We are looking forward to the trip (most of the time).  I will not miss the idiot dogs who have excelled at driving me crazy.
