Even though Easter is not until next weekend, a lot of area churches had their big 'eggs'travanganza easter egg hunts today. Unfortunately, Jillian is in New York City this weekend for Cousinfest/Bachelorette party (don't ask) so we were a person down to take part in these festivities.
Knowing we had a big day ahead of us Megan woke up, and came into my room and relaxed in bed with me for some "Blue's Clues" cartoons. After that slow wake-up we had a big breakfast of mickey mouse pancakes (no I didn't make them) and gobs of ooey, gooey syrup. Mmmmm. Washed all the way down with a sippy of good ol' chocolate milk (which coincidentally, we also learned this morning is Blue's favorite snack).
Then we headed over to Calvary Church by our house for their big 'eggs'treme easter egg hunt. On their website they said they had over 10,000 eggs "waiting to be found." Look at this picture. More like 10,000 eggs waiting to be picked up. They weren't really hidden. But it was nice that they had areas roped off for kids of different age groups so I didn't have to 'accidentally' knock some 6-year-old over so Megan could delicately grab an egg.
Even though we got there about only 5 minutes before it started, that length of time is an eternity for a two-year-old. Megan was either coming down off her syrup-high or beginning to lose her patience when the starter finally said he was ready to get us going.
... And then he proceeded to countdown from THIRTY! Who does that. But finally we were off and Megan 'eggs'ceeded all my expectations. She took off for the eggs and very carefully placed them in her elmo easter basket.
The whole thing, start to finish, took about five minutes for all the kids in our section to collect the eggs. Megan was 'eggs'tactic over the number of eggs she was able to grab. Once she found out there was piece of candy in each of them, she became even more 'eggs'uberant.
Hopefully there will be another easter egg hunt next week that Jillian can make. I think that would be 'eggs'cellent.

Megan certainly has improved her egg hunt skills from last year in Louisiana. I know Jillian was disappointed not to be there for the hunt and the progressive dinner later. You are welcome to join the Westminster Place hunt next Saturday!
Wow. How many words can you incorporate "egg" into...? Apparently, Brian knows. ;)
