Spring Has Sprung

Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't you define "Easter Bunny" as a cute, cuddly rabbit?


Therefore, someone dressed up as the "Easter Bunny" would evoke an image of a small-sized person dressed in a cute, furry, friendly looking costume that would not scare the children away, right?


Certainly not this:

It is amazing that only one girl in Katie's preschool class shed a tear when she saw the sinister Easter Bunny come in through the doors with his basket of eggs.

We sang songs with the Bunny.

We did the hokey pokey with the Bunny.

Some of us were brave enough to pose just long enough for a picture with the bunny before running into the safety of our mother's arms.

And the Bunny left. Without uttering a single word. Just a wave of his large, furried hand, and off he hopped. Possibly to inflict many emotional scars upon another preschool class elsewhere.

So, we high-talied our little behinds outside to search for eggs.

And many sugar-laden treats were found inside those eggs, which caused big, enormous smiles to spread out upon our wee little face.

Made us forget all about that scary bunny what's-his-name.

And since the month of April is upon us, and since today was April Fool's Day, we thought the weather man was kidding when he mentioned the possibility of snow in the "convergence zone" (which happens to be weather-speak for anything can happen here and I am not about to try and predict it) where we live.

Silly us.


This is my front yard. Exactly 20 minutes ago. I am soooooo not kidding.

Should be an interesting Spring Break, huh?
