[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 583883, member: 6705"] Several years ago I stopped doing Easter baskets for the kids because I had to buy new ones every year - they destroyed them. And bio had them every other year so it didn't mean as much. Just this past fall I threw out my childhood basket. I have a picture of me hunting eggs with my Mom - I couldn't have been more than 16 months old. The basket handle was as tall as I was! But this past fall... It was time. I also do something cute for my parents each year. One year I glued color-coordinating beads to plastic eggs - Mom still has these ugly things - and made a "chick magnet" for my dad from craft foam and fabric paint, glued to one of those handout magnets all those companies give you. I think last year I made them a CD with happy songs... Things were crazy with Onyxx coming home and me having morning sickness. But Meggie - oh boy! This year I have a dozen iridescent plastic eggs bought at Odd Lots for $1. I will find a basket, line it with cloth and put Meggie and the eggs in it and take a picture. Next year we can hunt eggs with her. Interestingly, I have had the kids hunt in the house. If you get the right size plastic eggs, you can put real eggs inside them. Like Susie, real eggs outside skeeves me out. I make myself a list of where I hid them so they are all found, too. [/QUOTE]
