Easter Saturday

4/11/09

So, on Saturday morning Eowyn and I celebrated Easter with a bucket full of plastic Easter eggs and a lot of prizes! (Note to self, keep track of what you purchase when you start picking things up early... had WAY too much stuff).

I heard the door downstairs as James and Eowyn arrived. I was harldy out of bed when James bolted up the stairs saying that I had better hurry... someone was going to town finding their eggies.
I went downstairs and heard a little voice saying, "Here's ANOTHER one! And a PINK ONE! And a GREEN one! Here's ANOTHER ONE!!!!" I had put 10 eggs on the sun porch with a little note wishing Eowyn a Happy Easter (from the Easter Bunny, of course) and the empty basket that the egss came in. By the time I got down to where Eowyn was, she had already found the 10 eggs on the porch and was on her way to filling her basket with the eggs in the Music Room. I had put this huge stuffed (pink) puppy on the piano bench and James told me that when she saw it she said, "AWWW! Look at my pink puppy!"... Lol.

James left for work, and Eowyn and I continued to search for the rest of the Easter eggs... 60 total... What? That's how many came in the basket that I bought. The Easter Bunny hid the eggs in very open spots. A bunch on the fireplace mantle, on the couch, coffee table... UNDER the coffee table, etc. She ended up finding them all and then we opened them. There were a lot of play rings with penguins, dolphins, etc on them. It was funny to see her try to have them on all of her fingers while opening other eggs. Lol. There were finger puppets in a few of the other eggs, little heart & butterfly shaped slinkies, candy, those capsules that you put in water and after a while there's a sponge animal that emerges... and glitter make-up. ...The glitter make-up was something that she spent most of the morning smearing over her face- until it mysteriously disappeared...

Her basket was overflowing... I had picked up a little sundress, some sandals, a movie, a kite, some bubbles, a My Little Pony... and some other stuff too....




There were these really cute chocolate carrots that were in her basket... they ended up having little hooked plastic sticks on them... She really liked those...






















After we got settled down and she ate her candy for breakfast, we got ready to go to my mom's with my sister Emily, and niece Kassidy. We had a nice Easter Lunch of ham and veggies... and Eowyn got to hunt for some more eggs. Lol. The Easter Bunny apparently visited Grimmy's house too!
