I have to come back and blog about William's birthday, however, Easter was just two days ago and after the last couple of days, that data is easier to get to from within my memory bank.
It all started Saturday night, we had gone to an Allen American's Hockey game and when we returned everyone headed to bed leaving me to deal with the bunnyigans.
My mother had purchased these giant eggs and mini eggs for Easter and kept telling me that I had to plan something. Great, pressure!
After reading in a magazines that good parents make their kids hunt for their goodies, something that I obviously failed at the last 28 years, the plan was now to at least do better from my grandkids.
My plan, put a video game into the biggest egg with a clue where to find the next egg. This big egg would be right outside William and Landen's bedroom door.
It was 11:30 at night and either I was not mentally all there or I actually found my creative side from pure exhaustion...
In their BIG EGG the notes started - Hip Hop its time for the Easter Hunt, read below for your first clue to finding your Bunny Treasure.
Clues led them downstairs in the family room, outside in the front yard, outside in the back yard and finally upstairs. Landen's last clue read "Rub and Dub, I'm hiding in the Tub" and William's was "Arkansas is my theme, drumming is Matt's thing"
My rhymes were not all that great, but when one waits until 11:30 to start planning it takes time... I was lucky that I finished at 1:30 and not 6:30.
While the kids hunted and tried to decipher their clues, my mother bounded downstairs with a basket for me...
This is a reminder that I failed at Easter until my mother moved in and told me that Easter Hunts were mandatory.
As mom presented me with this basket of goodies left by Mr. Bunny, I could see that she herself was wondering what that dang rabbit left for her... my best offer was breakfast at IHOP, which I can only think is owned by a member of the Rabbit family, hence the name!
