Odds and Ends

There is a one foot snow drift in my backyard. We had a 2 hour delay start at school this morning which was good because last night the whole family was running a fever. The fevers were gone this morning so I made everyone go to school.

Yesterday I texted Hannah and Gabe and told them we had sold our Colorado house and were moving back to Idaho this May. April Fools. They fell for it.

I blogged at Bossy today. Its all about having beautiful hair.

Cadbury Mini Eggs are making me crazy. I have a bag hidden in the kitchen and mostly I forget about them, but right now I am thinking about them. I am excited for Easter this year and trying to figure out how to make an Easter egg hunt fun for teenagers. Any ideas?

Money eggs. We do some with candy and some with money. There's even a $20 egg that is the top prize. For money even my 23 year old will hunt! (But we make it HARD to find the eggs)

Maybe put a free iTunes certificate inside an egg? For the teenagers I mean.

I say money eggs - that is what my parents would do and hide in hard places. Same idea as above - but believe me it will get them looking.

Hi Robin, My In-Laws do money eggs too! We (all the adults) love it! We also do a "Golden Egg" and who ever finds that gets a really good prize. It's usually a gift card, one year it was a free night at a hotel! That was a good year, I won.

I like to hide the basket in the dryer.

I'm getting some good ideas too. Thanks for that.

I am trying to plan a seminary egg hunt right now. Money eggs sound good...is that sacrilege?

You are funny. I wish you had sold your house and were moving back.

I was thinking about 30 years ago when I made marshmallow eggs. That ws fun. Your kids would enjoy doing it. Anyway, thinking bout it spurred me to make divinity yesterday. It's like marshmallow. I ate almost the entire batch by myself.

Oh Robin, you have way more restraint than I could ever hope for. If I dare buy a bag of those cadbury mini eggs they are GONE!!!! I don't ever forget about them. They sit there and entice me until they are all gobbled up. Yummy....

Robin,

This week mini eggs are on sale for $1.99 a bag. You might want to stock up so they last you a while. Who am I kidding? If I stock up they only last about a week.
