Sometimes the best of ideas just don't work out!
Thankfully, I have a group of friends who laugh at the mishaps!
Here's the story of our playgroup egg hunt:
One day, there was a mommy who had found the greatest idea online for a glow-in-the-dark egg hunt. She got all the eggs and the paint and get started painting! She even got the help of a very awesome three-year-old!
Things were going well, eggs were painted and set out in the sun to dry and "charge!" The mommy did a test to see how much glow were on the eggs. She found that some of the eggs needed alittle more glow so she did a second coat on all the eggs!
Then the night of the big hunt arrived! The mommy and her amazing three-year-old packed up all the eggs and headed out for some fun! Things were looking good - the eggs were glowing and placed under the stove light for some extra charge. Some playgroup daddies were ready to hide eggs and the kids were all ready to eat cake, a very special bunny cake!!
The sky darkened and the kids were pumped up ready to look for eggs! And thats when the misfortune starts to happen... The kids run outside only to yell "I don't see anything!"
Oh no. The eggs don't glow.
With the help of a few flashlights and lots of laughs about the non-glowing "glow-in-the-dark" eggs, the kids found... most of the eggs!
The mommy felt alittle silly that she planned a glow-in-the-dark egg hunt and it didn't turn out right but all the kids had a ton of fun! THANK GOODNESS! (And just so you know, the daddies who hid the eggs said they were glowing!! - Apparently they have a very short errrrr GLOW life!)
See all the fun had by the kiddos?
The end.
P.S. That mommy was me. OOPS!
