Lovely spring day, long work day, but got through it, took kids after dinner to a beautiful park with gorgeous views of the hills and empty of muggles. Along for a letterboxing hike to find Easter themed boxes - hidden in eggs even, which makes everything wonderful. Clues are clear and fun, path is good, kids in great moods. We discover the first box, I reach down and find the "egg." Wow, this feels squishy...hmm... AAAAHHHHHH S**T!!!! Literally! :( Sigh...no baby wipes, no wet grass even to wipe my hands, kids laughing at me (okay, I did handle it very well for truly how gross it was - laughing at myself too!). Sigh... felt like a bad boxer because I could not even clean the egg off very well as the dog (I call him Rufus) had a perfect bullseye - right on the egg/box!! We did the best we could, I refused to use my hand until I could sufficiently wipe, found the remaining boxes and had quite a story - YUCK - to share. I at least left note when logging on the box warning the next finder! Fun series and memorable, very memorable!

I guess there could be worse things for them to retell...though nothing really is coming to mind...

Happy Easter!

You too! :)

Let's start a petition. I want a "GAG" button, but I think "EWWWW" might work as well!

To vote for "GAG" hit agree. To vote for "EWWWWW" hit disagree.

Thats for the huge belly laugh this morning!!

Eww...Glad you could take it in stride. I hope the rest of your weekend is not so eventful. hehe

I have noticed an increased willingness to wash the dishes, laundry, cars, etc. after "the incident" - might need to seek professional help :)

Happy Easter! May you find pleasant surprises throughout your day!

my pleasant surprize was a pz egg. woot

sorry for your trial, it will pass.

Me too! Those pz eggs are awesome

Drumroll please.....the "Ewwww"s have it!

I don't blame you. hehe

We had a great day. I carved little stamps for all the kids. (6 kids = 6 stamps) I put them in big eggs and wrote their names on them so they actually had to look for the egg with their name on it. hehe

Since we're in a game where we know how to hide things, I hope that you actually hid them so that the kids could find them. ;-) I'm assuming that you did.

My daughter said she had to think like a letterboxer to try to find her Easter basket this year. Needless to say, she only found it by many, many "clues". And the hot/cold game. LOL.

I put her basket in a plastic bag, then sunk it inside my large container that has rice in it. It was completely buried.

GJ (I am a mean, mean mother...)

lol yes I hid them in places that were appropriate for their ages. I just gave the baby hers, the three year olds was just in a depression in the dirt, the two 5 years olds were 'hidden' in plain site just where they had to go look, the 8 year olds was buried under some pine needles and my 12 year old cousins was up in the crook of a tree....that was courtesy of my 6 ft tall husband. hehe

Apparently the Easter bunny put my nephews baskets (the boys are 5 and 8) hanging from the ceiling fan. Apparently it took them quite a while to find them too. I've never thought of hidng my daughters basket but now that the thought has been introduced....
