Hats off to the Easter Bunny. That guy doesn't let anything stop him. We also had a visit from the Tooth Fairy last week. Talk about dedication!
The girls were up way too early again, chomping at the bit to load up on chocolate, and who can blame 'em? The Easter Bunny was very busy over here, but was very respectful of e's instructions not to enter their bedroom. She wanted a sign on the bedroom door saying No Bunnies Allowed, and asked me to remind him (if I saw him) that they were sleeping in there and didn't want to be disturbed. Something about strangers in her room, even furry ones with chocolate, didn't seem to sit well with her. E had a similar issue with the Tooth Fairy at one point. Kids these days are much more pragmatic about strangers and candy/cash bribes than when I was a kid. I guess that's why you don't see as many windowless vans around anymore either.
But I digress.
Did you guys spend the day taking all of the sloth and gluttony skills you've honed over the past few weeks and kicking things up a notch?
Us too.
Chocolate for breakfast. With a bread chaser. Bread for lunch. Chocolate chaser. Foggy 4 hour gap...2 hour mom and baby campsite nap...all the hallmarks of a happy holiday.
Our most productive moment came when we dragged E and e outside and they decided to try to dig the Biggest Hole on Earth (like this!) with e's new gardening tools. We also worked on E's science challenge - building a bird's nest that can hold 3 marbles. It's harder than it looks, but as we are blessed with a wild jungle for a backyard, we got a hold of some vines and made short work of it. J also took on the grapevines, pulling and hacking at them to remove their stranglehold on several struggling trees. This is an ongoing battle back there. Mind you, if I thought the vines would produce some quality fruit for wine I'd level the whole lot! Alas, they are simply an extremely invasive nuisance.
If I had to pinpoint the highlight of this time so far, it would have to be this:
There's nothing cuter than snuggling sisters. It's too bad that the Easter Bunny didn't get to see it.
