Yep it's a lot of chocolate alright. It's especially a lot of chocolate when you have to find hiding places for them all.
109 to be exact. 64 tiny ones, 25 small hollow ones and 20 small spotty ones filled with caramel. 109. It is a lot but when you divide them up amongst seven kiddies equally (with the remainders left over for the parents......come on parents perks) it ends up being a respectable amount but not too over the top.
I think hiding eggs for the annual hunt is one of those really cool things about being a parent. We hid them all the front garden for the first time over, thought we would shake things up a bit. Of course while Easter Sunday is the only day when eating chocolate for breakfast is acceptable we do celebrate the fact the Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. So it was a great morning at church this morning....by the sounds of it as I was at home with mostly better kiddies.
My favourite men- folk came home early in a mad dash on there way home to shower and unpack smelling hunting gear, chilly bins of not eaten food AND of course the big stag that they shot. A huge highlight of their weekend and will be a wonderful addition to the freezers of the three families. Just as well as our freezer is looking a bit bare.
I was so pleased to see them home safely and grinning from war to ear with stories of fun times and laughs spilling out from them. But the noise level has triple or quadrupled since they all have been home.
Ahhh *sigh my family! Wouldn't change them for the world.
Looking forward to tomorrow now.....maybe my husband will let me sleep in? Here's hoping! Happy Easter!
