Like many of you, the Easter bunny visited our home on Friday night. Carter was hoping his basket would be hidden in a really difficult to find place. I think he got his wish, so did Kait though I'm not sure that was her wish. The Easter bunny is challenged at our house by having to put baskets out of the reach of our dog, Bailey. Regardless of what you might read about dogs and chocolate, Bailey loves chocolate and can sniff it out anywhere. He has been known to eat chocolate oranges wrapped under the Christmas tree and is still alive and well.
Carter, with his recently new found knowledge asked me, "Where would the Easter bunny stay?" "Well," I replied, "Bunnies live in cages. That doesn't seem too likely. Santa lives at the North Pole. I don't know. What do you think?" Any answers? Isaac in is wisdom keeps asking me, "Does the Easter bunny have his costume on?"
Thursday we colored Easter eggs. I remember doing this years ago when Cameron and Ann were little (probably 3 & 2 years old). I was excited about letting them do it and later wondered if I even considered the mess they would most likely make. Ann was wearing a dress with a white yoke; and, yes, she spilled yellow egg coloring all over her dress. As I recall, we didn't fuss too much about it but just enjoyed what we were doing........ and, the dress washed up just fine.
So now here I am many years later with much egg coloring wisdom. You'll notice from the pictures that the entire table is covered with newspapers and little people are only allowed one color at a time; that of course, reduces the number of spills and makes the activity last longer. I am happy to report..... there were no spills but lots of happy faces!

I made an 11:00 run to wally world last night while Jenna was sleeping and picked up some stuff. I put a basket on the counter with some candy in it and a little bunny holding the handle, then I hid eggs all through the house for her to find this morning. She thought it was tons of fun.
How fun!! Those are, as always, such fun pictures!!! Sounds like the kids had tons of fun!!! (And as you can see, so did I!!! Thanks, Ryan!) I love all the questions about the Easter Bunny!! Such curious minds!! I always love seeing what you guys are up to!!

Cute pics. It's been fun catching up on your blog. I've been out of it for a few weeks but feeling better and back to normal thankfully. The pic of Kaitlynn and her easter basket is so cute. She looks just like your twin. Such a cute girl. And you're a good grandma doing all the easter "activities" all over again! Fun times! ;)
