We just wanted to share a way to have fun celebrating Easter while still remembering what the holiday is about. We love the idea of Easter egging, but this just adds a little something special to it. I had fun the other night with my children taking them around to surprise others with a treat with a purpose. It didn't cost much to add a little excitement to another families' night. We got a bag of 48 eggs at Walmart for $2, and then a few bags of wrapped candy for $10. That was $12 for 4 families. It was fun assembling all of the eggs and then printing off the notes to go with them. We loaded up in our huge diesel van and were off to try to sneak a treat onto some of our neighbors door steps without getting caught. It was fun to try, but because of our loud van and little children it was nearly impossible. As we were out the children thought of many more families that they wanted to do so we are going to do more tomorrow night and take a quieter car. We would have done more that night but it got too late. My son who is in Jr High asked, " are we going to do this every night until Easter"? I said, "yes", and to my surprise he said, "good". Even cool teenage boys enjoy this activity. We hope that your family will have fun starting a tradition of egging others. We know that this is one of the highlights for us. Copy the image above and then fold it in half. Put the "We've been egged" part up taped to the porch and then hide the eggs, ring the bell and run.
Here are some fun pictures of us going out to egg someone.

counter full of dishes that will be left until tomorrow.
Kindness never gets done if we have to do the dishes first. At least not at my house. Enjoy.
