We were invited to Alex’s house for an egg hunt and a potluck today.  When we were getting ready to leave this morning, Connor somehow fell into the planter area with rocks and scraped the side of his head.  Neither Stuart and I witnessed what happened, we just saw poor Connor laying in there.  He calmed down before it was time to leave.  While driving, the boys were looking for the egg hunt; Logan was talking about how tricky egg hunting could be.  Shorty after everyone arrived, the host took out a bunch of art and craft materials for the kids to make either bunny ears to wear or a bag for the eggs.  Logan was not interested to do craft work but did agree to draw on a bag.  Connor was intrigued by the scissor and just wanted to cut.  I managed to assist him while had him made a bag too.  The egg hunt then began.  The host decided to do a hunt for the little ones first.  They had prepared eggs with some food item and scattered them basically just on the grass.  Connor was included in this age group and he was excited to use his bucket to collect eggs.  He was not too aggressive; he slowly picked up the eggs and he liked opening them to see what they had inside.  He was so proud to show off his findings to Logan and daddy afterward.  Then the big kids (Connor came along too) were escorted outside the yard to wait while the parents scattered the big kids’ eggs.  Josh also gave the kids instruction on this structure egg hunts.  They were to find numbered eggs (from one to ten) along with a golden egg.  When they were let back into the yard, the kids were excited to search and read each of the eggs.  The hunt turned out quite fun as the kids ended up helping out each other or calling out numbers on eggs that they found.  When the hunt was over and the kids all got their assignment done, we all sat down to look through their findings.  Connor shared his little crackers with Logan while Logan reciprocated with his little toys. 

    We then had the potluck and pizza for lunch.  The kids played around in the yard after they ate.  The big boys were able to trade in their golden eggs for a prize.  Logan received an Uno card game, and Stuart played a few games with him there.  Connor also received a “cow” hand puppet that he really liked.  Connor finally became a bit naughty, so we knew it was time to go home for his late nap.
