Procrastinating perfectionist
This morning I took the boys to the park near our house for the annual egg hunt. We had a lot of fun and the boys saw a lot of friends from school. We took pictures with the Easter Bunny and a cute Panda. The boys were confused about why a Panda was at an Easter Egg Hunt, as was I. Not sure what Panda & Easter have in common but it was cute so of course I had to take a photo.
The sad thing about this event is that every year the park posts signs around the hunt area that it’s for kids only, no parents and every year parents go into the area with their child which blocks the view of the parents who stayed on the sidelines (and followed the rules) to watch their kids so you lose visual sight of your own child.
The other problem is that these well-meaning (sarcasm!) parents can be sadly competitive and do the hunt for their child. While this is totally acceptable if you have a little one in the 0-2 year old group or a child with special needs but does a child in the Kindergarten group on up to 4th grade really need parental help gathering plastic eggs? Anyhow, I took photos and in the end the boys had fun and I had fun knowing my kids enjoyed themselves which is all that matters, right?

Hi Tamara! Sorry I didn't see you at the hunt! We were in such a hurry to try and get to Sadie's age group's hunt that I probably looked like a crazy person trekking across the grass (and probably not that approachable). :) Needless to say, we missed her age group anyway and she tried to take part in the 5 year-old hunt. Anyway, hope to see you before too long and glad you guys had fun!
