What? No Baskets?

Easter

It was a fine Easter at the Cavanagh house. A little odd since Australians don't seem to do baskets. Lots of chocolate eggs and bunnies, but no baskets. So I found these "egg hunting bags" at one of the stores and decided to use those. Of course Cole's tore midway through the day so when we actually hunted eggs, he used a grocery bag. So ghetto!

As if no baskets wasn't enough, they also decided to charge $10 for a 5 pack of plastic eggs (and I only found those after searching 3 stores). This wasn't because they had a run on plastic eggs - they just don't do plastic eggs. So I decided to use the chocolate ones (you know..."when in Australia..."). Note - it is still pretty hot on Easter here. So egg hunting had to be conducted with a speed like we've never experienced. And still we were thwarted by my attempt to find good hidey-holes in our small backyard. I didn't think through what would happen when I stuck them next to the A/C units - squishy eggs! Every year I hide money in our plastic eggs so this year I just wrote amounts on the outside of the foil. Since Grace was lucky enough to find the golden $2 egg, she was our big winner totaling over five dollars.

The top group of picks have the kids in jammies, right before bed, having an egg race. Not our normal attire for egg races but, oh well, had to squeeze it in before bed.
