Does anyone still want to see Easter photos? You? oh, you too?
Only Xander loves the hard-boiled eggs.
Candy purists…
After dinner we had the inside hunt where the real treasures are found. Do you have a fought-over candy at your house? Ours is Lindt hazelnut chocolate carrots. They’re expensive so I only buy 12. Ben managed to secure 10. I’m not a complete communist– I didn’t make him give them to the others– he was forced to trade.
Happiness…
The moment Mary secured her fair share she pulled out the piano bench and began setting up shop to sell her loot. Her prices were extremely generous: 1 jellybean buys you anything.
Knowing that Mary despises jellybeans and wouldn’t even pick them up in the candy hunt I warned her, “All your treats will be gone before you know it.”
“That’s OK,” she sassed, “I was already annoyed with all that sugar.”
Ever the loyal servant, Gabe became her first employee and contributed his wares. Hans and Xander enjoyed being customers so much that they continued refilling her shelves, eventually moved the store down to basement and played “Mary’s Store” for the next FIVE hours.
I have no idea where all the candy ended up. Probably stashed under Hansie’s bed.
ah, joy

No one would pose for an Easter photo for me. Not even on my birthday. Your kids are great. I’m a total pushover. Ruth

We will bring more chocolate from Trader Joe’s for your Easter photos! Is that why they call it “Trader Joe’s”?

It was so much fun to read about your Easter. About the unwrapped chocolate, my dad used to scatter raisenets in the living room to prove that the Easter Bunny had been there.
I just discovered the Lindt carrots this year and help the kids “finish” them.

Love the pics. I think “sweet and late” could be the name of a pregnancy test.

We didn’t get good shots on Easter so I will live vicariously through yours.

Oh that was worth the wait for sure! I’m not sure I could love your photos (and commentary) more if I tried!

1. I love the pic of all of the kids where the little ones are laughing so big. 2. I think I said it before but I so love Mary’s Easter dress. 3. I’ve been a bad commenter lately. I have like your last 3 entries saved as unread on my reader just so I can go back and comment on all of them. Forgive me. Going to go comment on Segullah now because I have MUCH more to say! xoxo
