Will the real Easter Bunny please stand up?

Easter 2010:

• Girls and I buy Easter baskets together on Friday. Bean insists on buying a basket for baby #3
• Girls carry baskets around all day Saturday, filling them up with things and talking about the Easter bunny
  
• Hunting plastic eggs filled with jelly beans and coins
• Eating jelly beans and the ears off chocolate bunnies
• Waffles and bacon
• Squeaks has a fever, takes 3-hour nap from 10-1
• Bean and I make chocolate cupcakes
• Bean has a fever. Bean naps from 1-2:30
  
• I cook a ham Nana/Opa style
  
• I walk down to the neighbors' house for their afternoon Easter meal. Sit under a blooming magnolia tree, 80 degrees, sunny and breezy. Husband stays home with sick kids
  
• I come home. Husband walks down to neighbors'.
• Bean and I watch movies and snuggle on the sofa.
• It could be worse!
  

I have my big idea!

Husband and I have been cracking up about one of Bean's latest turns of phrase. "I have my big idea!" She usually says it while holding up one finger and pointing at us. Heard recently:

I have my big idea...

• I need an M&M.
• I should have some chocolate ice cream.
• I'm going to put on my bathing suit and go swimming! (heard when it was finally above 70 here).
• I'm going to get a really giant giant bed and sleep up high.
• The easter bunny should come right now.
• I get to eat 4 bites of my chocolate bunny.
• Let's make a tent and sleep in it!

For emphasis, she'll say "I have my really really big idea!"

Sunshine and Lollipops

Finally, FINALLY, we're getting some sunshine. And since Sunday was daylight saving, we can now enjoy a little outdoors time after work. Today the girls enjoyed lollipops on the porch.
