Last year Hunter had an obscene amount of Easter egg hunts, but this year we simplified, and he just went to the one at our church on Sunday after the service. Hunter's pretty much been in a bad mood since his birthday...or at the very least, he's been moody. My cousin pointed out this weekend that three year old boys and sixteen year old girls are actually exactly the same in temperment, and I can't say I disagree with her there.
I dare you to try to find the drama that only a sixteen year old girl (or in our case, a three year old boy) expresses in my Easter egg hunt picture story below. I promise, just like those Easter eggs, the drama won't be hard to find.
We started out with a picnic in the gym, and then we all got ready for the hunt....
Here Hunter is in rare form for the day...
I know it's probably in the top 20 worst pictures I've ever taken, but I love Charlotte's new old lady smile....
Since it was so windy, the hunt was all indoors. The 0-3 year old group was in a classroom in the school at our church. Here Hunter's checking out his competition...
Looking through his treasures...
His favorite place to look was in the desks. He kept going back to them and pulling out more and more eggs!
After a while, I guess the basket got too heavy, because he set it on the desk and would just carry the eggs over to it...
After it was over, I held up the camera and Hunter smiled for me...
...but apparently the flash set off one of his mood swings, because the minute the picture was done, he fell to the floor in a screaming fit. You can see the other kids are as perplexed as I was...
All I could do was stand there and laugh with my friend Stephanie. It was either that or cry.
We met Charlotte and James in the hall after H's basket was full and then headed downstairs with our friends.
Thomas and Hunter checking out their goodies...
Here's Hunter and his two best church buddies, Ronnie and Thomas...
I can't wait to take a picture just like that when they're teenagers. Except there won't be eggs. And there probably won't be sweet, cheesy smiles either.
Hope y'all had as much drama in your egg hunt as we did! Or at least as much fun;)
