A new SPIN on Easter

Saw it in the store... thought it looked easier then sitting and waiting while an egg swims in food dye. Outcome you ask? Eh, they looked alright but were very sticky! More like paint then dye.





We opted out of the traditional egg hunt at home. This year we did a treasure hunt instead... and not just ANY ol' treasure hunt would do. We used lyrics to guide us where to go! At each correct destination, you had to search for a green post-it... which was returned to me, Momma, for your prize (which was NOT given in an Easter basket this year... we changed that also). I opened up Itunes and played only the part of the song which held his clue. This was SOOOOOO much fun! Definatly something we will repeat!

Some of the lyrics/clues we had were...... (there were 20 in total)
1. "Now I lay me down to sleep" from Enter Sandman - Hidden within his pillow case
2. "It's five o'clock somewhere" from It's five o'clock somewhere duh lol - Hidden underneath his alarm clock
3. "Now that it's raining more then ever....." from Umbrella - Behind his umbrella :0)
4. "Here in this diary...." from In this diary - Hidden within a page of one of the four Vampire Diaries books :0) This was his last and most difficult to find clue. haha



Then, off we headed to Gram's of course! Lots of food and fun. :0)
