Since this is Michigan, it was cold so we hid the eggs in the house. The children wanted to find them upstairs, so after our cleaning chores were done and the pumpkin pie for tomorrow was cooling, I hid the eggs.
It was also our last day of sap collection. We got a grand total of 125 gallons of sap. Stay tuned for how much syrup that made. The boys took care of taking down the sap collectors (otherwise known as milk jugs) and plugging up the holes with sticks. Then came the best part - stomping on the milk jugs. They found that by loosening the lids a little and then jumping on the jug, the lid goes spinning down the driveway.

Happy Easter Karen.
One year I held the egg hunt at night. It was a scream. Jackson invited a friend to spend the night. I bought special glow in the dark ones. But mostly just hid the regular type and handed the boys flashlight. It was a hit!
I'll have to remember that idea. The kids would love it!
Our kids enjoyed their Easter egg hunt, too. We did do it on Easter morning, but we skipped the early Easter breakfast at church in order to get it done.
Your Saturday chores reminded me of something...sometime, could you blog about or comment on your schedule/routine for household cleaning? When managing a busy homestead like yours, I'd be curious how you all get that done.
Thanks ~ Betsy
