I have to say, I'm pretty proud this year that for the first time, I remembered that I'm supposed to be the Easter Bunny. Now, Mikko's still not impressed, because he was with me when I bought the treats and saw my pathetic attempt to hide them under my coat in the shopping cart. Well, I mean, seriously — when's a mama supposed to shop by herself?
I'm looking forward to putting them out as a surprise for everyone for when we wake up before church. Even if our grocery store did run out of Cadbury Eggs, which was supposed to be my treat. No Cadbury Eggs the week before Easter? What is this country coming to! That's it. I'm moving to England.

I think something is wrong with the linky today. Mine doesn't show up and it says it closes in two days...
@mamapoekie: I see yours! Sometimes if your browser stores cookies, it won't see the updates to the linky until it's had time to delete the cookies and refresh totally.
I'm honored you included my blog post (Plus Size Mommy Memoirs). Thank you!
You forget to be the Easter bunny and your kids don't remind you 10 times a day for weeks before Easter? You are pretty lucky. If I hear the Easter bunny mentioned just one more time.. :)
