Easter

Saturday, we headed out to a friend's house to enjoy an Easter Egg Hunt. There were so many eggs, we had to empty her basket a couple of times. In some of the eggs were candy, some had dimes or nickels, some had little toys, some had balloons, some had bubbles and others had tickets. They got to turn in the tickets for little toys. Becca picked out 5 of her favorite. They served cute little treats and had a "roller coaster" and slide that kept the kids pretty busy. She did not want to leave.

Sunday, we went to church and then to the golf course for lunch and an egg hunt. Darren ate lunch with us and then headed off to be the Easter Bunny. Becca, as always, didn't want anything to do with the Easter Bunny. (she's the same way when he's Santa) She grabbed some eggs but of course didn't think she had enough. A nice older girl have her a few of hers. She got to pick out an Easter basket filled with goodies the club buys. I got pictures of Barrett with the Easter Bunny but couldn't convince Becca to get close enough to get a picture. After the Easter Bunny headed in the next room to go home, Becca asked me where he went. I told her he had to go home. I was holding Barrett and Becca decided to peek through the mail slot in the door and then asked, "Why is my daddy the Easter Bunny?" I was then trying to keep her from saying it too loudly and confusing the other kids, luckily there weren't too many standing around by then. She asked daddy when he came out and he told her he was helping the Easter Bunny. She didn't care for this answer too much and asked him several times. Maybe it's time they get a new Easter Bunny and Santa Claus. I've asked Darren to see if they can find someone else but I don't think he's willing as he feels an obligation. Maybe we'll have to stop going because Becca is going to out him to all the kids.

It was cute, there was a little girl who was very concerend about the Easter Bunny. Apparently, she didn't want to get close but always wanted to know where he was. So her mom brought her into the lobby where the Easter Bunny was sitting so they could see him. She sat there for a little while just looking at him. It was very cute. It's also funny, knowing who the Easter Bunny is, and seeing the reactions from kids, especially your own. Some kids, just looking at him brought out screaming and of course my daughter hiding behind me is just too funny.

On another note, I had a hard time finding dress clothes for Barrett. It's probably because we're in a small town, but I looked in 5 or 6 different stores and found nothing for his size. I finally found some at Kohls but really wanted a sweater vest. I haven't given up totally and have found some cute stuff online; maybe I'll get to Nashville soon. I miss shopping in Nashville.
