Easter

The kids are still great about letting me play Easter bunny. I can tell the girls are getting more annoyed each year they have to go into the backyard and participate in the Easter egg "gather." I call it a "gather" rather than a "hunt" because there is absolutely no hunting involved. If they can see...they get eggs. I can't imagine they would put forth hunting efforts for eggs that are filled with a little bit of candy...but if I ever get my hands on some seriously valuable eggs..they will have to hunt them. Why haven't the kids learned these many years, that I am going to take pictures of them gathering their eggs? Why do they look at me with those "seriously mom??" faces when I snap pictures of them just after they rolled out of bed? I think I got some good shots of them. Ariel told me I needed some grandchildren..(hmmm..not yet...) I am quite sure I am not mature enough to be a grandmother. Todd called me the "mamarazzi" which is pretty accurate if you ask the kids. Todd even got to help out with the gathering this year...Aaron was semi-injured which happens several times a week. They had a great time the night before coloring the eggs...who doesn't like coloring Easter eggs? I even made one. The kids are very serious about dying eggs and they do an awesome job...sorry I don't have any photos to prove it, just trust me on this one.
