The Hunt is On

I was planning on taking my kids to the dollar movies.

When I found out that the show we wanted to see was no longer playing there I came up with a new plan. I raided the change jar and put different amounts of coins inside plastic Easter eggs. I filled twelve eggs for each of my kids. I told them to wait downstairs while I planned a surprise for them. Then I hid the eggs all over the house. When I told them that we were going to have and Egg Hunt and that there was money in the eggs, you would have thought that I just told them we were going to Disneyland. Boy were they excited! I mean, who doesn't love an Easter Egg Hunt! After they counted up their money (they each ended up with around $2) I told them that we would be going to the library to get a movie and they could either save their money or spend it on treats for the show. It was an exciting game and took no planning.
