My sister-in-law put on a fun little party and did a great job of hiding enough candy-filled eggs for all nine of the hunting cousins (three of the kids were too young to participate) to feel contented with their loot. They had pb&j in the shape of bunnies and we just imagined what Spring would be like as we raced inside after the hunt to get out of the 50-degree wind and drizzle.
After dinner I asked Coop what candy he would like to choose out of the bowl and he said he'd like the "suck up" candy. Apparently not the kind you chew up, but the kind you suck up, like life-savers.
I'm heading to bed... seems as if the Cold of the Spring is returning with a vengeance and I intend to conquer it with sleep.

Or does he mean candy that is trying to make a good impression on other candy?
That sounds like a fun day for them, although there was nothing like picking up an especially heavy one of Grandma's eggs and realizing that instead of candy, it was filled with cold, hard cash.
I was reminiscing about that while I watched the kids hunt. Those were the good old days...
actually, spring is back in these parts and it's oh so lovely! can't wait to see y'all this weekend, with or without our newest addition (on the outside, that is)...
