A few years ago, we decided that all the fun/silly bunny stuff about Easter would happen on Saturday. With Fernando at work for the whole day, I had to summon a lot of imagination and energy to fill the day with Easter bliss.
The first thing they found from the Easter bunny was loaded baskets. The load was a movie, book, gum, and two (yes only two) peanut butter cups. You know, the small little bite size ones? Now, before you have a come apart, Easter was just the beginning of sugar overload with 3 birthday's coming up that next week. I have no problem with kids having some sugar, but really there can be too much.
After breakfast, we got geared up for an Easter egg hunt at the Lackland AFB. Though the eggs were few and far between
(and or there were four kids to every one egg with adults not doing there share of equality), it was great to get some free food, cupcakes, and a balloon made by a clown. I could have skipped on the clown due to my coulrophobia, but just like bug encounters, my kids seem to bring out my bravest side. 
(yes, it was freezing. Ok, it was 60 something degrees, but that is cold when you have been used to 80+ temperatures.) Parental Sidenote: While waiting in an obviously long line that is moving slower then the other three lines, move to another line. This is especially helpful when your kids are starting to melt down and you just stupidly gave your almost 1 year old her first taste of Kool-Aid and there was only enough for one taste.
Next fun stop was at Lakeshore Learning to make an Easter basket.
The kids loved all toys that were displayed for play and I was suckered into making a few purchases. 
Mia and Tiago and Talia and I all took a good nap. I then received a manicure and pedicure from Miss Mia with her new nail polish.The day ended with watching Over the Hedge (our Easter basket acquisition) while easting dinner which right now is evading me as to what that dinner was. Too many other projects that have happened between then and now. More on that later.
This little girl gets the trooper award. She was dragged from one event to another all the while being toted in a backpack or cart. Thanks for letting your siblings have some fun.

i never knew there's a word for fear of clowns.
i'm pretty sure that lisa has coulrophobia. maybe she can confirm that for us.
Sounds like there was no great love for clowns in horne 53 lol
I hope you never run out of energy and good ideas. I wonder why our amazing Mia always comes up with fun new ideas to do. It could be an inherited trait.
I've been wanting to go to the Lakeshore Learning place have yet to do so. Let me know when you go next!
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! What a trooper Talia is!
Wow. You seem like such a fun mom! Always doing something.
I forgot that you were scared of clowns, that's so funny!
Fear of clowns??? I don't think you're alone....it seems like a lot of people get slightly freaked out by them.....
I love all the hands on activities that you find in your community for your children to take part in. What a fun life they have :)
You are such an awesome mom, always doing fun things with your kiddos!
Hey we had the same Easter bunny come (except ours came on Sunday...he had to hop all the way from Texas so it took him a day, actually I think he made it late Saturday night so he was able to have a day of rest :)) But our Easter bunny also left a book, a movie (thank you Target for your good $6.60 movies) gum and very little candy. Some whopper eggs tossed in for effect. Ben got the Reeses eggs.
