Life With Boys

The mis-adventures of two crazy boys and their bleary eyed parents.


Here comes Peter Cottontail …

OK — Matt and I are having a debate — does the Easter Bunny hide the eggs you colored or bring different eggs? And if he brings different eggs — what happens to the ones you colored?

  1. In our family, the Easter Bunny hid our Easter baskets (which contained the eggs we had colored, plus additional surprises). You wouldn’t think a whole big basket would be a challenge to find, but our Bunny was particularly devious. Memorable spots include: in the dryer, up the chimney, behind a fortress of cereal boxes in the cabinet, hanging up in the closet under a coat.

  2. I think it really changed for me each year growing up, which may explain why I am so confused. Sometimes the eggs were hidden in the back yard, sometimes in the house, and I remember at least one time in the front yard. I think some years my parents hid them, some years the Easter Bunny did, but the strange thing is that they were the same plastic eggs each year. Verrrrry interesting… I think the best years were the ones when the neighborhood association did a joint hunt with real eggs. Yeah, those were cool, except when a boy knocks a girl’s basket and the eggs fall out and break and life-altering and childhood-memory-scarring crying ensues. That’s bad. My recommendation is just for consistency. If the EB hides them one year, then Mom and Dad don’t do it next year.-Seth

I started this site so my mom could get news about her grandkids without me having to walk her through the process of trying to open and email attachment several times a week.  Since then she has passed away and I’ve fallen off the blog wagon, but I’m inspired to pick it up again now.
