Easter 2011

Chesley had a BIG Easter this year. We had to wake her up really early so we could do the Easter bunny stuff before early church, (which our church only has on Easter so we don't usually have to get up so early for church, or anything that early!) Her Grandy had a fun surprise for her, he came really really early and put down bunny footprints in our driveway. It involved a stencil, an ice scoop, and several bags of flour. They were great! They were huge and she would stick her finger in it like it was fairy dust or something! They were so great that they almost--almost made up for the fact that he also brought a live rabbit. But he knew better so he claimed that Chesley's Uncle Buck sent it, (Buck's the one who bought her a pink bb gun for her birthday so I believed Grandy when he blamed Buck!) I had no intention of keeping a rabbit for my 2 year old and the newborn that's on it's way to enjoy so Percy found it a home that didn't involve a boiling pot of water... Thanks Grandy for the footprints, I'll let Chesley thank you for Peter. Yes she did name him Peter bc we have been reading Peter Rabbit and Peter Cottontail, plus her father named a pet goat Billy so really we shouldn't be surprised. Anyway, she liked the rabbit, liked looking at him and talking about him and holding him once or twice but that sucker had some sharp claws that didn't hurt but kinda scared you when you were holding it and they started moving 90 to nothing. So she didn't just have to hold him nonstop-thank goodness. Oh and sorry Uncle Buck for believing so easily that you would do such a thing but you are earning a rep with that pink gun...
After church we went to my parents and Percy's mom and Pops came over to watch Chesley hunt eggs. Then we ate and headed home for a long nap, did I mention we had to wake up really early?


Rise and Shine!!!

Chesley LOVED the bunny footprints!

My neighbor said her little girl was distraught that the Easter Bunny may not have come to their house bc she saw the footprints in our driveway but not hers!

Checking out what the Easter Bunny left and informing us that that pinwheel is a 'turnin wheel mama!'
