E.B. is Pro S.M.

 

 

I LOVE long weekends with my kids! This past weekend was extra special as Easter is one of the holidays we like to make extra special for the children...not to mention it was Miss Baby's FIRST Easter!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Since 2006 I have been doing a special Easter hunt with the kids where they each receive a special stuffie (usually of the long-eared persuasion), but these critters must be found using clues in the form of photographs. Each photo shows the bunny hiding somewhere in the house so the kids have to travel from location to location finding subsequent clues hidden with candies and other treats until they find their furry friends and the hunt is over.







This year the Easter Bunny seemed to have caught Sock Monkey Fever too ~ We are CONTAGIOUS PEOPLE!!! In each of the photos all that was visible in each pictorial hint was the location and a pair of ears...the identity of the beloved bunnies remained a mystery...then it turned out they weren't bunnies at all ~ but masquerading monkeys!

Turns out even the baskets this year were sock monkey inspired. We had a fabulous time searching & seeking out the new additions to the sock jungle. I love how they all have the traditional look with the bright & funky colours :) We also had a great time dressing up Miss Brynn as my own personal cutie bunny <3<3<3

 

 

 

 

Hoppy Easter!!!

Bunnies in the jungle??? You betcha! Lots of different bunnies have joined in on our monkeying around and you can bet that the Easter Bunny isn't far behind. We've created sock bunnies, sock bunnikins and sock bun-buns just in time for all kinds of egg-hunting fun!!!

 

Violette and Astrid Bunnikin are attending an Easter tea party hosted by Bluebelle Bunnikin. Everyone is dressed in their Easter best...I wonder what kind of tea they are drinking? Clover? Maybe honeysuckle? Well, they aren't telling me...but I think I overheard some gossip about who the cutest bunny in the burrow was...their secret is safe with me ;)

These full sized sock bunny twins Skittles & Starburst are done up in their best & brightest Springish colours! They are charged up and ready for some egg dying & chocolate hunting adventures. I've had to make sure all the treats in the house are out of reach as they are hyper enough without the added sugar. It is hard to say no to requests for jelly beans when Starburst flutters those eyelashes.

Then there are the bun-buns...talk about a bunch of chatter-boxes. I don't know how many times I have to get up at night & tell them to go to sleep. It is like a full-blown slumber party all the time with all the giggling. These little critters love to play hide & go seek. Did I mention they like to snuggle? My kids think they look like little Easter eggs - too cute!
