Saturday night, the kids dyed Easter eggs with Chris. For the second year in a row, I made the mistake of forgetting about the eggs until it was already close to bedtime, but maybe I will try harder to remember earlier next year. The Easter Bunny procrastinated as well, so at least she and I were on the same page. (Didn't you know that the Easter Bunny is actually a she? In our house, mythical gift-bearing creatures are always female by default.)
Since she needed an afternoon nap, the Easter Bunny brought baskets of goodies in the evening after suppertime. She is very smart to do that since she knows little kids are prone to ruining not just their appetites but lots of other things as well if they find their candy beforehand and get too wired on sugar. Instead of keeping with conventional Easter Bunny traditions, she left baskets on the front porch while nobody was looking before hopping back down the Bunny Trail. Sneaky, isn't she? After finding their baskets, the kids hunted for plastic eggs hidden throughout the house.
(By the way, the kids and I actually spotted the Easter Bunny--or one of her helpers--earlier in the week in the yard across the street, so Zachary and Ashley got a sneak-peak of her looking for places to hide Easter eggs. They thought that was GREAT!)
Below, you can see how much trouble I was having getting a good picture of both kids in their Easter Sunday attire. After church and before lunch is probably not the best time for a photo shoot, but I tried!
Hope you all had a Happy Easter!

Cute title! Your children are adorable!
That is very EGG-sighting, Robin, that you're posting this before July 4th, and better yet, before Mother's Day! What's gotten in to you? You're a bloggin' queen lately. I love the new look and title of your blog. Way to go!
