Easter Eve

Benny went to bed chortling over it being Easter Eve today, and he woke up ecstatic that Easter Eve is finally here. Yesterday we colored eggs so we can do our yearly bit to feed the bunny's egg-hiding addiction. We managed to get 32 eggs mostly unbroken back into the cartons, and they're waiting in Ahno's fridge. They'll be divided between the children's baskets which they leave beside their beds with notes for the bunny. The bunny, frothing with delight because he has EGGS TO HIDE, will then hide them all over the house along with other plastic eggs filled with c a n d y and also some small prizes of a varied nature. Then when the children wake up their empty baskets will be sitting there beside their beds, waiting to be filled back up with EGGS AND OTHER DELIGHTS. What fun.

I have lots of Peeps this year. Last year there was a bit of a Peep shortage because I think I waited too long on "Easter Eve" to get myself in order. This year I'm all ready.

Yesterday we took Dingus Khan Pow Pow to the dog groomers and then went off to play at Porterfields. CHECK OUT THEIR AZALEAS. Ouch. Riotous beauty and so forth. Their back yard is even more amazing. It's like fairyland. We went for a bike ride and then packed up and went off to Sam's Club. That's where we purchased the giant box o' eggs. And also eight quarts of Spaghettios. Sadie's comment was, "Oh yes! Skay-ohs are soooo yummy!" Well hey. Then we went to Ahno's house to color the eggs. Then home, arriving just as the workmen were finishing up, and then to karate where Benny had another extremely near miss on the green tips. He always seems to do something awful during the last part of class to make it impossible for Mr. Odom to distribute those darn elusive green tips.

Today is a new day, however. A day in which I must finish chapter 3 or throw myself out the window.
