That's what I heard myself saying as I grabbed the camera and made a dash for the car, because last one in the car eats a rotten egg, you know.
I had Ross pick up some pepperoni on the way home from work - he said the grocery store was having a mini-Easter party - Easter bunny will be there & everything.
Who cares...right?
Not me...I mean - how more commercial can we make a religious holiday? I've never been a fan of visiting the Easter bunny ever since they invented an Easter bunny to visit (there wuddin' no Easter bunny in MY day to visit! He was too busy making candy for the hollow eggs to visit kids - plus - it's not like you can TELL the EB what to get you for Easter - 'cept the token church dress and chocolate bunny - plus EB doesn't even talk...DUH!) So there was never a dumber holiday representative to visit than the Easter Bunny - unless, of course, someone wises up and gets a suit for Valentines day - which if they do, I hope it's all glob shaped and pulsing with blue blood and all....but I digress...
Going to the grocery store because they have an 8 hour special - for the next 8 hours, you can get hamburger meat for 88 cents a pound...limit 2...we have to bring the gang so we can get 14 (Coby can't purchase items yet, she'd rather eat the money than give it to the cashier) -
Meanwhile, while I'm shopping, they have a fun little area set up where the kids can decorate cookies.
Yes, I brought the camera. Doesn't everyone bring a camera with them to the grocery store?
The first thought when we walked in was to get all the kids - regardless of their age - or belief in a 7 foot tall bunny with fake fur and a lazy eye to sit by the bunny & take a picture.
Here we take a rare look into their thoughts:
Coby: Yay! It's not Santa Claus!
Ross: I hope no one else notices I'm wearing my jammy bottoms....
Kiersten: I'm on the floor. And they want me to smile.
Brynn: Hippity Hoppity, I'm a bunny rabbit...I have NO idea what this means, but it's a GIANT bunny - and there's a lot of chocolate ALL around him!
Howie: Take the picture so we can decorate cookies.
Kali: Good hare day.
Here's the cookie decorating part of it.
And the best part is that I didn't have a mess in my own house! WONDERFUL!
No, I didn't take a picture of the hamburger we bought.

Aw, you are such an awesome mom. I avoid things such as this like the plague (insert my trip last weekend to Barnes and Noble to visit the easter bunny and do crafts, we made our appearance and left without pictures because the girls were too embarassed to be caught with him and I was fit to be tied to be in the same room as 200 screaming kids!). I love seeing Rossi be such a good big brother to your babies! Almost makes me want another one just so my kids can be awesome big siblings now that they are old enough to care. Almost.
Rofl! Seven feet tall with fake fur and a lazy eye! Bwah! Our kids really are gullible...
Oh but I was SOO looking forward to a picture of the ground beef.
Will you please post a picture of some AMAZING food you prepare with said ground beef. PUH LEESE!
very good story and I loved how sweet Ross is with Coby and helping her decorate. So fun!
I can't decide on a favorite: Brynn's big cheese (I literally LOL'd) or Rossi holding Coby (awwwwww!)
is this fry's? They always have awesome holiday activities for free. One of the reasons I prefer that store to any other. =) I'm glad you took your camera.
