We only had nine kids, so it was on a very small scale. I had a little over two dozen eggs. They decorated sandwich baggies, and I stuffed some colorful Easter grass inside.
When we finished our snack, it was time for the hunt. I got everyone's attention (okay, as much as you can with a room filled with nine children ranging in age from 15 months to 3 & 1/2 years old.)
"Okay, everyone, we're going to hunt for Easter Eggs! Are you ready?" I started. "There are enough eggs for everyone to have three. When you find your eggs, put them in your bag. The bags are small, and there aren't very many eggs, so everybody will get three. When you have three, you can help someone else find some. Count your eggs and stop at three. Don't get more than three for yourself."
"Everybody understand?" I asked.
"Yeah!" They answered.
"Okay, how many eggs are you going to get?"
They were loud, excited & confident in their answer. Nearly in unison, the kids called out:
"TWO!!!"

Cute! So I have a question... This mom's morning out that you work at, is that the same thing as the school that your kids go to? I get the impression that they are both happening at your church, but sometimes it sounds like they have a mom's morning out and a preschool there??? Just wondering....
I get the right impression ;) The preschool has been around for years, but we just started this MMO program in September to offer a (much) more part time option. We're in a different space and function fairly separately, although we share some outside stuff and have a good relationship. Especially since I still help with the Child Development Center curriculum. Make sense?
Miss you guys.
