Easter Egg Derby

The Easter Egg Derby this year was a little crazy.  It was spring break, the kids were wound up and it got a little wild.  But we got through it.  The Easter Egg Derby is always an exercise in sportsmanship in our house.  We have a tournament bracket and roll the eggs into each other - the theory being that only one egg breaks when they hit each other.  Everyone feels bad when their eggs get eliminated.  And there can be only one winner.  Matthew and I made it to the finals this year.  

And my egg "Pinkie Pie" beat this egg of Matthew's (modestly named "Egg")  this year to win it all.  I felt bad winning (there is no skill involved) but my egg happened to be the toughest.  I let Matthew have the giant chocolate bunny though.  He shared it with all the kids.




 So close Matthew.  Maybe next year.  Scott, Matthew and Emma have never won the derby.  Darn it, I was truly rooting for Matthew to beat me.  Maybe next year.
