the hunt is on

Rain had been predicted for most of Sunday but in true meteorologist fashion, there was none. It was good news for the Easter egg hunt. Carly invited her friend Miss M to go with her which was good since Carly was bordering on thinking she was too big for an egg hunt.

There were art projects set up in the fellowship hall and cupcakes. There were directions to add certain color jellybeans to your cupcake, each having a special meaning. Carly and M both started with the 5 colors named but quickly had a cupcake full.

In the kitchen, they had the mission project set up. The kids were taking 2 dough balls and making them into a cross. They were going to bake them and the teens were delivering them to shut-ins this week. It was a little amusing to watch them try and handle sticky dough with those cheap plastic gloves on.

Then it was time for the big hunt. I might have gotten a couple of more pictures if the wind had not been blowing 30 miles an hour. I was also cold and Carly didn't want to stand still. In fact, she asked me "can't THAT wait until AFTER the hunt is over".

At one point I hear some parents telling their children to get out of the hedge because there is poison ivy. I go around the corner to find Carly squeezed in between the hedge and the church hunting....Carly, didn't you hear everyone talking about poison ivy? (Miss it-took-us-all-fall-including-3-doctor's-visits to get rid of it the last time) but Moooooom, there are still eggs back there that no one can get to. No, really?
