North Liberty does an indoor Easter "egg" hunt - It is mostly candy strewn across the gym floor. This year, they did actually have a few sporadic plastic eggs out there as well. There was ONE golden egg. It had nothing special in it, just a starburst or something, but Kennedy wanted that one. She didn't care about the candy, just that darned golden egg, clear over in the middle of the gym. I bet you can see where this is going. Yeah, so whoever thought putting ONE golden egg out there with all sorts of 5 and unders was just a genius. Not really. When the whistle was blown, poof, they were off. ALL to the ONE golden egg. A little boy got the egg. Kennedy cried. That was the end of the candy hunt. I did scoop a few pieces of candy in her basket, just so she didn't go home empty handed, but she didn't want any of it. Now, I hope that Easter Bunny remembers to bring her a golden egg:)
First batch of candy from Amy's mom - and she ate it ALL. Then after I told her no more candy, she asked why. I told her it would make her crazy. When she was trying to sleep tonight, she started shaking her legs really fast and said, "Mom! I have loco legs! From that candy - it is making my legs crazy!" Now, those of you that recognize this - it is from Fresh Beat Band and Twist had loco legs that didn't stop shaking... Anyway, then K started to cry and asked how she was ever going to get all of the candy out of her tummy - it was just making her too crazy, she thought! I told her, well, maybe next time you should only have once piece and SAVE the rest for another day - she HONESTLY thought this was the best idea ever. We'll see if she remembers the one piece thing...
