Cheaters Never Win…Unless You’re THREE!

After getting all dolled up in a precious new outfit…and not being able to decide which Easter basket needed to come along…we were on our way to our church’s annual Easter Eggstravaganza! 
   Just as last year, Quinn was SUPER excited to hunt eggs and play games! And, since he’s still one of the youngest to hunt, his group got to go soon after we arrived.

As soon as Ms. Carol started counting for the kids to begin, Quinn was GONE!!! He definitely didn’t wait until the word “GO” and he (and his cheering in the background Daddy) was so proud of himself! … Stinkers! :) … Thankfully, everyone thought it was cute and didn’t tag him as a “cheater” quite yet!!!…     Quinn hunted and hunted…filling up both of his baskets. But, after he’d get a few, he’d say, “That’s enough” and I’d have to remind him that it was ok to keep getting more! Sweet love! After the hunt, it was time for the games…and my little non-daredevil had NO desire to do this BIG slide. But, after much deliberating whining convincing bribing, he {sort of} agreed. He protested the whole way up the steps! But, we felt it was time for him to conquer his fear. Good parenting? Bad parenting? Not sure! …
Anyway, after the trauma was over, he’d continue to say that it was his favorite part of the event. He talked about it off and on for days! :) After the hunt, Matt had to stay and the rest of us headed out for lunch. It was a beautiful day and we really enjoyed being outside!
