First thing when Lily woke up yesterday she asked me if Easter Sunday had already happened. Apparently, Lily had a dream that she found her Easter basket hidden in the toy basket in the Living Room and had eaten all the candy.
After I assured Lily that it was just a dream she ran right down the stairs and looked in her toy basket. It was obvious that Lily was a bit disappointed to discover her Easter basket was, in fact, not in the toy basket.
The disappointment was short lived. It took Lily an additional 7 seconds to find her Easter Basket on the top shelf of the corner cabinet. The Easter bunny is going to have to work a lot harder next year to find a better hiding spot!
After Lily found her Easter basket...and ate off the rabbit's ears...we had a nutritious breakfast. I mean, seriously, if ever there was a day that screamed for a healthy breakfast it's Easter. Right? So, why I chose to make buttermilk chocolate chip pancakes...I can't explain. Perhaps I thought Lily wouldn't have enough chocolate the rest of the day??? Sometimes I frighten me.
Note to self - no chocolate for breakfast next Easter!
After we had breakfast we headed to church where each child was given a tub of cotton candy. Are you kidding me??? Eegads!
Note to self - make Lily a dental appointment!
After church we came back home and had an Easter egg hunt. Yep, you guessed it. There was candy in the eggs!
Then Nai Nai came over and brought Lily a bag filled with Easter gifts...including...chocolate!
Once we had Lily all good and sugared up we headed to Aunt Patti and Uncle Dave's. Lily was so hyper we just had her run along side the car. :+)
Lily had been looking forward to the Easter egg hunt at Aunt Patti's for weeks. Lily had the opportunity to go to several different Easter egg hunts in the weeks leading up to Easter and opted not to go because "Aunt Patti and Uncle Dave's Easter Egg hunts are the best."
Uncle Dave always does an amazing job hiding the eggs. If you think I'm kidding you ought to see the 17 and 18 year olds out there searching...getting frustrated...and finally...finding the eggs. It's too funny!
Unfortunately, most of the eggs Lily found had money in them and not candy. Wait. That's not unfortunate. What am I saying??? Oh no...I'm starting to think like a certain 4 year old I know!!
Note to self - Money is good!
Not to worry, to top off Lily's dietary intake for the day she had a slice of chocolate cake after dinner.
Normally, Lily doesn't eat a lot of sweets. And, truth be told, she didn't really have all that many sweets yesterday. However, what she did eat made quite a big impact on her and Lily didn't like it.
On our way home from Aunt Patti's Lily told me she was feeling "kind of jazzy." I told her it was probably from all the sweets she had eaten during the day. Lily then said, "I don't ever want to eat that much sugar again." I kind of chuckled and then she said, "Mama, this is crazy! I just feel like I want to unbuckle and dance even though we're driving!"
Kind of crazy - indeed!
