How Many Easter Eggs?
Four days after Easter, and we have 19 eggs (of assorted sizes and colours) left here.
To be honest, I have no idea of how many we started out with, but we’ve certainly eaten our way through a fair whack of them.
The Easter Bunny (EB) was very organised this year, with an itemised list and locations ~ I think he must have had a talk with hubby, who manages inventory for a living…
Some years, we’ve had tears because someone got what someone else wanted (I just can’t help throwing a tantrum sometimes). So this year, EB left the big eggs in the kids’ doorways, which worked amazingly well, and there were absolutely no tears or arguments!
Unlike a few parents I know, we usually just let the kids just go for it and eat what they like on special occasions like Easter & Christmas. Maybe I’m a bit cruel, but I’d rather get it all out of the way as soon as possible.
Surprisingly though, neither of the kids have gotten to that bouncy, itchy stage of chocolate overdose this year. (Christmas was a different story, with Mr Bump literally unable to stand still without his left leg twitching at one stage!)
They both seem to have learnt how to self-regulate their intake, although I do realise that I may be speaking too soon here, with 19 ~ no, 18 now ~ eggs still in the house… ![]()
How many eggs are left in your home right now, and how long do you think they’ll last?
