Samantha's first blog

Tonight is the night before Easter. I was pushing Sam on her swing and messing with her a bit since she is so incredibly excited about the Easter Bunny. You’d think it was Christmas Eve, I swear. So, I said to her, “What are you going to do if the Easter Bunny skips our house and doesn’t come and you don’t get a basket?” She says to me, very seriously, “Well, if he doesn’t leave me a basket, I am going to go to Lina’s and I’ll take her basket, and if Lina didn’t get a basket, I’m going to go to Julia’s house and take her basket, and if Julia didn’t get a basket, I’m going to take Ryder’s basket, and if Ryder didn’t get a basket, I’m going to take Emma’s basket, and if Emma didn’t get a basket….things are going to get messy!” Well. Ok. At least she has a plan!

Then, when it was bedtime she raced into her room and I quickly reminded her to head for the bathroom so she could brush. She suddenly says, very dramatically, “The teeth brushing!…Oh, the humanity!” Where did this kid come from? Seriously.

We always have a lot of bunnies in our yard, a fact that we are all grateful for, after all, they are so darn cute! Sam gets much closer to any of the wildlife than we do, probably because she is small and thus, less threatening. Today we had a visitor and Sam got pretty darn close. Is it the Easter Bunny coming back for a visit? We’ll never know!

Somehow, egg dyeing just totally slipped through the cracks this year. I even bought the eggs! So, when the day after Easter Sam mentioned it and asked if we could dye eggs, how could I say no?

Mark and Sam got to dyeing and did a good job (they could have been better if Samantha had any patience whatsoever to let the eggs sit in the food coloring for more than 10 seconds!)

She was happy with the result though and that is all that matters. Now if I could just get her to eat one…

The cats had no idea what the heck we were doing, but they do like to investigate. They gave Sam their sniff of approval!

Easter morning started very early this year. Like, before 7:00 a.m. Sam just couldn’t wait any longer to go look for her basket. You can see the sun is not quite up out the window. Sam looked in all the usual places upstairs then headed downstairs to search. Penelope noticed some Easter basket grass sticking out of one of the cabinets and Sam saw her looking, so that gave it away.

That crafty bunny! He is always finding new spots.

Penelope was looking to see if the bunny was still there, I think!

Some Easter hugs for the kittens. I can’t believe they rated a hug before basket unloading! Lucky kitties!

Sam made a basket of cat toys for Zach and Penelope. She was happy to see Zach investigating.

The bunny did well this year. Lots of things, including these tiny little Disney princess babies that Sam just loved!

And of course, oodles of candy and other goodies.

When everything had been examined, Penelope got a ride (she was not thrilled…..)

Once Mark woke up from his pre-sunrise stupor, he offered to make pancakes for Sam. She loves to help.

Bunny pancakes!

Later that day, my mom came over so we could have dinner. Sam kept asking me, “When are Grandmom and Invisible Poppy coming over?” She cracks me up. I said, “Invisible Poppy?” and she said, “Yes, just because he is in heaven doesn’t mean he isn’t going to be here on Easter!” I hope she is right.

We are so lucky to have this little girl. Her Poppy always did like seeing her in her Easter finest.

We were taking nice family portraits until somebody decided to be silly. 😉

Time for a swing. Gotta take those nice days when you get them!

Here’s our beautiful girl in her Easter dress that she picked all by herself. That thing cost a fortune, but she wanted it so much and seeing her little smiling face in it makes it worth the price. 🙂
