Day 46

In Search of the Golden Egg. Today I took my twins on an Easter Egg hunt. It was held in our town park and it was really quite a marvel. Thousands of real eggs had been dyed and strewn across the park grass. Age appropriate areas had been roped off and at the sound of a whistle, hundreds of children stormed forth in search of Easter eggs. 3 minutes later, the hunt was over. My sons had each found three eggs. Their comment, "Mom, this wasn't really fun." No, I thought, this wasn't. But then again, this isn't what Easter is all about anyway, so taking our eggs, we made our way over to my Mom's house and shared our bounty with her. She got 4, we kept 2. On our way home, I smiled at my children and laughed with them about the hunt. They were neither upset, nor did they worry that they hadn't found enough. They were simply content with the one golden egg left in each of their pails. The moral of this story: Again (because you've heard it before), it's not the quantity, but the quality that counts.
