Easter Bunny is hopping our way
I’m kind of funny about some holidays. One of them is Halloween but I won’t open that debate now. The other is Easter. What the heck does the Easter Bunny have to do with Easter? Could someone share that tidbit of knowledge with me? (As if I couldn’t Google it myself).
Anyway, my kids have this enormous metal buckets that we painted white and then I painted eggs and grass on them. They are freakin’ huge. As a matter of fact, the first Easter that my kid’s experienced with their bucket….they fit in the bucket..yea the kid fit. Anyway, because of that, I have my work cut out for me when I start gathering Easter Bunny stuff. Yes, I know I just asked what the Easter Bunny had to do with anything but just so you know, we still celebrate it.
So, anyway, here’s what I do:
1. Put an envelope in the bottom of the bucket and put a photo from each year in the envelope. The next year, the kids love looking at the old photos.
2. Anytime they win money in a prize egg, we write the date on it and put it in the envelope too.
Then, we tape the envelope to the bottom of the bucket until next year. Then, I put plastic bags in the bottom of the bucket to take up some space. Because otherwise it would take a fortune to outfit those big ol’ buckets.
The kids get one chocolate Easter Bunny and I would say a medium size one, nothing crazy. Other than that, I buy books and crayons, coloring books and a game for the basket. Normally the Easter Bunny leaves the baskets on family room in front of the fire place. However, after our Christmas debacle where they opened all the gifts at 3 in the morning…we will probably have the Easter Bunny deliver to our bedroom this year.
So, now, tell me what you do? Oh I forgot that we put plastic eggs in the basket too. Ok, now, there’s a chance to win a $25 gift certificate at Kingdom First Mom so write your blog post and add it to the list, then you too qualify for the gift card!
