For Easter Sunday breakfast, I made this Easter Bunny (I know it kind of looks like a lion, though.) made from bananas, apples, kiwi, grapes, sliced almonds, sprinkled flax meal, and
Clif Kids fruit twists. We all sat together in two chairs pushed close (two kids on my lap, one on Ryan's) and gobbled it up.

This is one I made another year; they always vary slightly. It looks a little more like a bunny, perhaps? I think the idea originally came from
A Taste of Home.

They were squealing with delight (one of these days I'll figure out video on here) with every single item they pulled out of their baskets. You would not believe how excited they were about the "oranges."
"We've got oranges!!!" (Cuties brand clementines...incidentally, I just read this: "Generally, seedless clementines are made by spraying the flowers with a chemical that mimics a growth hormone." Why do I read these things after my children altogether consumed over 25 of them the past two days? I know, I know - there is something wrong with a hundred things we eat. I'm just sayin'. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. They lined them up and counted them, carried them around, hid them like eggs, and loved peeling them by themselves.

They also all received
Play-Doh filled eggs, sketchbooks, crayons or colored pencils or
paintmarkers,
Clif fruit twists, raisins, and other healthier type candy snacks. The boys each got a California Baby bubble bath, and Sissy got
this little pink travel potty. She immediately wanted to sit on it. Later that day, she pooped in it twice and ran to show me each time, excitedly. Oh, how we screamed and jumped up and down. However, as usual, potty training is exhausting. Lately, which is why we bought the potty, she has been stripping off her diaper every time she pees, even at
inopportune times. It's funny; she has been only wanting to sit on the potty when it's sitting in this totally random spot next to the rug in the living room because that's where she went in it for the first time. Like she marked her territory or something.

We went to church, then the boys went out to eat lunch with
Googie. Ryan and I actually watched a movie (
Slumdog Millionaire...really good) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. Not Easter-y, of course, but it was raining...and we were tired. I always try to pack so many activities into one day so I decided the rest of our activities could be spread out over the week.

Dash is standing by his bunny he made at school last year. My parents came over for supper. We ate salad, guacamole and chips, and Cheesy Bean Enchiladas. The recipe is
here; it's yummy and soy-free for all you tofu-phobics.

Love the bunnies, so creative! Happy Easter to all of you!
Mom ate the dinner? Hmmm, she's growing.
I love the Easter bunny. I wish I had been there, I would've stolen the kiwis for myself. And thanks for the heads-up about the clementines. Yikes.
