School Easter egg hunt

Maisie and I are still enjoying spring break in Florida, sitting on the white sand in Naples and enjoying the warm gulf water.  A post about that is coming soon…hopefully soon.  As usual I’m way behind in my posting, just never enough hours in the day and so many other things keeping me too busy to blog so another catch up post here before I forget. 

Last Thursday before spring break Maisie enjoyed a fun Easter lunch and egg hunt with all of her school mates. 

Maisie and her classmates at their table waiting for the other grades to join them for lunch and a movie.

After lunch Sean, Maisie and Rylie waited patiently for the real fun to begin.

And they’re off!

Let the hunt begin.

Maisie was discerning in the eggs she chose and really took her time only picking up the ones she wanted.

Each child was allowed to pick up 18 eggs.

Back in her classroom checking out her eggs.  Maisie then handed out all her eggs to her classmates as they all contained candies which she couldn’t eat either due to her allergies and/or that she’s avoiding processed sugar and high fructose corn syrup.  Maisie did though leave the Easter egg hunt with money from Mama and on the way home we visited the dollar store where she got to pick out some non-food treats, special just for her.

The picture below is from last years Easter egg hunt when Maisie was in first grade.  Notice anything similar?

Yep, she’s wearing the same sweater and carrying the same basket.

Though she didn’t wear the sweater the day of her Kindergarten Easter egg hunt she did have and wear the very same sweater she’s still wearing that year.  Here she is with her Kindergarten classmates with the same Easter basket she’s now carried three years running.

There’s a new recipe posted today on Cook Lisa Cook for Skinny Blueberry Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins.  I made these muffins for my Crazy Cooking Challenge as this month all the participating bloggers were challenged to find the ultimate blueberry muffin recipe.  I really wanted to participate in the challenge but as I’m anaphylaxis allergic to blueberries and Maisie has her food allergies and Eammon just really doesn’t need to be eating muffins, I decided to make these as a special treat for Maisie’s teacher Miss. Lisa.  Eammon did try one of the muffins as did my friend Sophie and it was thumbs up from both of them and Lisa on these muffins.  So if you’re looking to cut fat, calories or doing Weight Watchers, check this recipe out by clicking on the picture.
