Easter was strangely early this year and too cold to put into words. I mean, we still have 3 feet of snow in our yard. What's up with that? At least it was sunny...trying to be positive.
Blake and Faith had a hoot finding eggs in our basement. Blake was particularly proud when he learned how to shake the eggs open to find candy. Yes, he does love smarties. And, I think he would have eaten them all day if allowed (read more on this for his sister).
Due to the cold weather, we couldn't kick the kids outside this year during our easter dinner/pig out, so they spent the time getting their faces painted into bunnies and dogs, and then sneaking off with mountains of chocolate. Between Cordelia, Faith, and possibly Ava, they ate almost all the easter candy in one afternoon. This included the dishes of chocolates and jelly beans I had set out in the kitchen for the 15 other people at our house. Being the observant adults we are, we didn't actually notice this until it was all gone. Perhaps related to the multiple bottles of wine we drank.
Anyway, Faith and Cordelia reaped the rewards of their candy binge with very sore tummies. We got out the pepto and the Tums for Faith. And, she informed me in a woeful voice, "Mummy, please go and empty my cash register. It has lots of chocolate in it." She just couldn't take the thought of another bit of chocolate. Later on, when I put her to bed, she said, "Mommy, please don't buy as much candy next year."
Of course, what was the first thing she wanted to eat the next morning? An errant bit of easter bunny. Oh, how quickly they forget.
