Egg Hunting Tips

This was my first Easter to participate in, and it took me a few egg hunts to figure out the subtle ins and outs of professional egg hunting. Now that I've got it down to a science, I want to make sure I don't forget any of it by next year.

Notes to self:

*Not all eggs are created equal. Some are full of chocolate and some just have goldfish. It is imperative to check the egg before putting it into the basket. Can't have any goldfish-filled eggs taking up all of the space in the basket!

*Once the Easter basket gets full, Mommy tries to take it away and give me an empty one. No way! The solution: don't ever let your basket get full. Once there are a good number of eggs in the basket, sit down and open and eat many of the eggs. Leave the empty ones (and the plain ole goldfish ones) in the grass. Then, continue the hunt.

*There are several confetti eggs hidden among the others. You can tell these by the tissue paper tops. Total waste of time. Step over them if you must, but do not put them in your basket.

And one more note to Mom and Dad: Avery and I are only two girls, not a whole village. At some point, the amount of eggs in our backyard becomes boring. Two basket fulls of eggs for each of us is probably plenty for the next go 'round.
