Family Easter Egg Hunt
Apr
06
Yesterday morning while grocery shopping I spent $4 on Easter clearance chocolates which was a great deal because I am going to be submitting those UPC codes for a free movie ticket!
I later on sent JJ to the grocery store with coupons for pineapples that were on sale for half price and a redbox code ( DVDONME which should still be working today!) for a free DVD rental. He came home with the pineapples, New Moon and chocolate bunnies and Resse’s Peanut Butter Cups. This is why I don’t have him grocery shop often. He’s not in need of a belly fat reduction but if he did do the grocery shopping our $150 monthly budget would be gone in the first week and a good chunk of that would be spent on Resse’s peanut butter cups.
I got one bag of little chocolate Eggs for our Family Home Evening activity. During the lesson I talked about Easter story (sacrament, atonement, Jesus dying and being resurrected). I wanted the egg hunt to have a religious message so I reminded Sariah and Rebekah that when Jesus’ friends looked in the tomb they couldn’t find him but then when they saw him they learned that he was resurrected. I told them that I was going to hide chocolate eggs and when they found the eggs they could remember that Jesus is alive again.
While they were in their rooms putting their PJ’s on I hid 6 chocolate eggs. JJ and I helped them to find 3 eggs each. Of course it took hours for them to fall asleep after eating their chocolates. At least it was a fun evening.

Husbands are good for splurging where we never would.
