When we do Easter, we really pack it in. It worked out this year that we did Baby Animal Days on Friday, Easter eggs on Saturday (with BBQ at Grandma's thrown in) and Easter was Sunday. David's favorite part of Baby Animals wasn't the fluffy things like ducklings, oh no, he wanted to hold the
snake again.

Josie, however, likes everything she could get her squeezy little hand on--she tried to squish the poor duckling's head and poke the chick's eye out. The big hairy bunny, she wasn't so sure of--it took her a minute to finally decide to touch it. (Yes, I know it looks too hairy to be a bunny, but it really is. It's the hairiest bunny I've ever seen!)
My kids would never let me ge away with not dyeing eggs. They always lose and break them, but they insist. This year, we got a new demise for the egg--Sammy grabbed it and scarfed it down. They always have a good time doing this, and the newspapers made me feel better.

Notice baby helper down there, trying for a piece of the action.

Behold: the finished product. (Notice that I have to cook many eggs, and this doesn't include the broken-in-the-pot ones, or the one David dropped)

Not only must we color eggs, we must hide them, at least until we have lost one inside the house. This finally happened at Grandma's this year, so I'm not worried about finding it this Thanksgiving. The weather was the best I've seen on the Saturday before Easter in years, so they did most of their hunting outside.

Josie didn't get wheat you could call a normal Easter basket. No candy. She did get some fun stuff, though, including puffs (which could be considered baby candy) and a play cell phone all her own. My favorite is her hair--it kind of looks like the ears on one of Jody's dogs.

And, of course, Easter is the time we do our family pictures, and I happen to like this one a lot.

And, at last, by popular demand, the Growling Girls returns. This time, she is imitating her hero, the Pirate Captain Wildhair:
