Like Herding Cats
About 2:00 pm Sunday, we opened the front door and began the Easter Egg hunt. The front yard was full of colorful eggs and each boy was given a small collection basket. Daddy Dave was shooting the action on video while Mommy took still photos. Grandma and Grandpa were assigned the task of keeping the boys away from the street and quickly learned that shepherding twins is hard work. At first the toddlers grasp the activity and put eggs into their baskets, but then they realized that they were loose in the front yard for the first time. Suddenly the eggs and baskets were forgotten and the exploring began. Each boy ran in random directions and squealed with each new discovery. You would think four adults could easily contain two toddlers, but the task was almost too much to handle. After a while everyone was exhausted and the egg hunt was abandoned. Later that afternoon all six of us enjoyed a much deserved afternoon nap.
