As soon as I open a box, she runs over and starts grabbing "eggs" and hides them for an easter egg hunt. I never keep track of how many she's taken, so I never really know how many I need to find. It is kind of fun when I'm flipping through channels and pull a lump out from under the cushion, or pull a book out of the book shelf and find a roll. I get to open a new roll.
