      Last year my kids were invited to some big Easter egg hunt and they had a great time, however this year they've come to expect us to celebrate Easter, at least the candy related part of it. Some of my fellow Hebrews also celebrate Easter and a couple I know get all weird about it and make a point to crap on the fun.

      However, once I realised I could create a complex, confusing, almost sadistic puzzle of finding all of the Easter eggs, I decided we're not just going to do an Easter egg hunt, we have to do an Easter egg hunt.

      I realise today is Sunday, but we had to do it yesterday because the kids are doing some thing over at my wife's parents house.

      Anyway, here we go:

      I was already up at about 5am and my wife and I had put together about 350 of those plastic eggs from Wal-Mart with a piece of candy or tiny little rubber frog, ball, or some random thing like that, in all the whole thing cost $24, so not bad, considering I also ate a lot of that candy too. Some eggs also contained clues about where some other eggs were, however all of the clues were lies.

      I made a trail of eggs from where my kids bed rooms are all the way outside, and I managed to hide eggs in places very difficult for them to get. I had to climb a couple of trees, get on the roof of the garage, make my way into their tree house which I thought I might break, and essentially every weird little place I could find around the property.

      Almost all of them are fairly hard to find and I had a total number of the ones hidden outside so we could make sure they got them all.

      After they woke up they were pretty surprised, they didn't even pick up the eggs down the hall, instead they ran down to my office and almost pounded the door down, and my youngest was yelling that the "Easter bunny broke into our house."

      I took advantage of the situation and said that I had caught him also trying to steal our car and that I think he said something antisemitic. My eldest daughter knew it was a joke, but that's what's great about having young kids, you can lie to them and tell them insane stories and they believe it.

      tl;dr: it took them almost 8 hours to find all of the eggs, and of course I had to help the with the ones I hid on the roof, in hindsight that was a bad idea.

      The point is, Easter can be fun, especially if it involves keeping your kids occupied most of the day, regardless of one's faith. They loved it and asked if we're going to do it next year, so I gotta step up my game.

      I also just realised that the colour of this forum is brown, fitting for a water closet.

          We told our girls that in Spain they had an Easter Bull (Toro) instead of an Easter Bunny. That made them happy since we went to see it.

            So they're pretty gullibull? or just gullicalf?

            Just kidding, I just wanted to use that. I mean my youngest daughter thought the easter bunny broke into the house so..

              No antisemite bunnies or bulls around here. We wound up having about 30 people over at a family member's house. It was actually quite nice because I just moved back into the area and going to see family like that is no longer a chore, but actually quite fun!

              We did, however, have several children (read infant to toddler) who were quite certain we hid easter eggs in the bottom of the swimming pool. Needless to say lots of hilarity, splashing, and wailling & gnashing of teeth ensued. It was a blast -- I can't wait to do it again.

              My home church does an Easter service every year at a place with a big auditorium. My Pops usually runs cameras for the normal church services, so I help him out for the specials and whenever he needs more tha none camera. Boy, our pastor was hopping around like a mad jackrabbit yesterday morning!

                We told Mini-nadnerB that the Easter Bunny isn't real. Which is a very good thing as rabbits are an introduced pest here. No love for introduced pests in my house.

                  A friend of mine hitchhiking across England rescued a bunny trapped in a pond over here.

                              Nope. I don't read many books.

                                Actually a really great book. It is a survey of political systems from the perspective of rabbits.

                                  Hmmmm, sounds like The Book of Bunny Suicides.
