Egg hunts

Maya tries to take off with Guillermo's basket.

We skipped Guillermor's soccer game on Saturday so we could go on an Easter egg hunt and it was well worth it. Guillermo's favorite color is orange and last year at the same Easter egg hunt, he collected only orange eggs. This year he picked up anything he saw and filled a good part of his basket. That's pretty impressive considering the egg hunt, with 18,000 eggs spread over three fields, lasted maybe five minutes. A lot of kids were there. 

Maya was a champ, too. She was so happy to pick up "eggssss." There is a downside to the all of this though. Maya has now been introduced to Smarties, jelly beans, and those digusting Old Fashioned marshmallow eggs.  We couldn't get the basket out of her hands yesterday. For a good part of the day, she carried it around the house, asking: "Cany, please, more?"

When they went to sleep that night, we tossed out most of the goods. Of course, Guillermo picked up more loot today at another egg hunt. This time, many of the eggs were filled with stickers and little toys, such as plastic watches and compass rings and tiny cats. Guillermo gave three cats to Maya. She liked them at first, but then realized some of the other eggs contained candy. We caught her tonight trying to bite through the foil wrapping of a chocolate egg. I'm so glad they don't have dentist appointments soon.
