Happy Easter to y'all. We have been hard at our "Easter Rabbit" gig this evening. That is what Hope calls him. I was really striving to take the commercialism out of it this year. We went to extremes for that very reason. I would have made the candy myself except that 1) It has been a long hard week of being sore and crabby and 2) I don't know how to make candy yet. However, we did the baskets very organically with palm leaves for grass and wrapped some old fashioned candies in tissue paper and ribbons and other such things. It all looks very home made. Each of the children also got neat wooden toy and Logan got a harmonica that he has been dying for. We colored eggs with them tonight and will hide them early in the morning before they get up. Sometime in the evening tomorrow we will take them out to sit under the moon and read some Easter verses and poems. An interesting little thing, you can see a rabbit in the moon at this time of year in our part of the world instead of your regular old man in the moon. Hence the story behind the Easter bunny and egg. I have a friend who knows all the details, I know you can see it in another part of the world the rest of the year, but for now you will have to just trust me that it is a limited time offer and go take a peek.
