Well, we all know what happens when good eggs go bad. A big thank you to Scylla!
I am proud to say that I put out and got back all four dozen eggs that were hidden while I was half asleep.
So, how many of you are left looking for that one last egg?
I am not foolish enough to hide eggs in my house. It’s such a mess right now, I’d lose more than one. :eek:
The eggs we colored yesterday, though, are safely in the egg carton, in the refrigerator.
No need as we don’t color then since the kids are teens now 
Then again, I did have to go to the Mother-in-law’s for brunch and the Mother’s for dinner so it evened out…
We didn’t color any eggs… mom says I’m too old and the wee’uns are too young. 
So the only eggs we hid were the plastic kind. 4 dozen, and we found 'em all. (With the intellect of my foster sibs, of course, we had to pretty much leave 'em in the middle of the living room carpet and even then they almost missed three.)
We went over to my cousin’s house for Easter today. A couple families have small children, so they had a big easter egg hunt. Somewhere around 80 plastic eggs plus a few dozen real ones. All were hidden somewhere in the backyard
Problem was, nobody really counted the eggs beforehand. When the kids found all that they could, we all went in to eat dinner, assuming they had all been found. We go out to the backyard a few hours later and see the family dog Molly sniffing around the bushes. After a few seconds, she sticks her big snout in and pulls out an egg! She munches it furiously, and then finally swallows it down, shell and all! We all get a big kick, and my cousin mentions how Molly ate an egg or two last year.
Then Molly finds and eats another egg. Then another. Then another. After four eggs, we realize just how damn many eggs those kids missed! Molly is led around the yard to find the rest of the eggs, but is not allowed to eat any more.
Of course, by then we remember that Molly has had the run of the back yard for two hours while we were eating! God only knows how many more eggs she snarfed down in that time.
Since eggs are known to give dogs digestive problems (i.e., smelly farts), and since Molly was supposed to be on a diet, this probably wasn’t a very good thing for her. Oh well, if we can all go off our diets for one day, Molly can too. And at least we don’t have to worry about any eggs rotting in the backyard.
At least Molly got a good supply of calcium!
