Glow In The Dark Easter Egg Hunt

Glow In The Dark Easter Egg Hunt

Last night we had a glow in the dark egg hunt.  It was so much fun!!!  Once agian this awesome idea was inspired by The Play At Home Mom.

We took a package of easer eggs & I put submergable led lights in each egg.  This will be nice because after Easter I can used the submergable lights for bath time fun and other science type things.

It was taking too long to get dark so we hid the eggs in side.  Its so hard to get good pictures of how awesome this looks in the dark, if anyone has tips please let me know.

Happy Mail

I had seen on pintrest this cool page called 13oz or less, where you can mail all kinds of weird things that are 13 oz or less, it looked like fun. So I got 12 jumbo Easter eggs, filled them with jelly beans & mailed them out

 They made me happy just to look at them!

So the boys and I went to the post office, weighed the eggs & mailed them out.

Then the calls started coming in

"This is so cute!"

"What a great idea"

"Hey Laura...did you mail me an egg?" LOL (that was my favorite comment (Michael)

(two egg recipents)

Out of everyone I mailed it to, only one person had some issues the mail man charged them more to receive the egg, and I have no idea why.  No one else had any issues.  My brothers egg was damaged, so if you do this mail them locally, I guess eggs were not meant to travel cross country :)

An Easter Story by Eli

Eli - So the giant chicken was running all around on Easter

Me - Why

Eli - Because he lost his colored eggs, and he was crying because he could not put the colored eggs in our yard

Me - Its a bunny Eli

Noah - Mom (laughing) Bunnies dont lay eggs, Chickens DO

Me - uh ya...

I did not explaine about the Easter Bunny ever, we just dont talk about it.  But I do have to admit it would make more sence for us to have an Easter Chicken, and not an Easter Bunny.  Im just sayin
