Easter Surprises…

So, I think I’m sufficiently recovered from my Ham and Chocolate coma to write about it now. (No not at the same time, the chocolate and ham, as that’s not really the same as chocolate covered bacon, which is surprisingly delicious no matter how gross it sounds. I would know, as my Mama gave me some for my birthday and OMG YUM, and I was very sad when it was gone. Could this parenthetical aside BE any longer? /Chandler Bing.)

Where was I? Oh yeah – the surprises on Easter. It was discovered once I went to the store, that the baskets I thought we still had at home had been eaten by the dog last year. Whoops. So the girls got together, worked together, and using PepperMist’s creativity, design, and yarn stash, built their own baskets. Pepper even FINISHED the Pup’s when she went to sleep, so that they’d both be finished in time. (that’s the heartshaped baskets in the picture – filled with carefully shredded and curled paper grass – and more candy than should be legal. *L*)

I know, I was shocked too. Sometimes, I think i can count the times they’ve gotten along and worked together on one hand! It didn’t end there, though, as on Easter Morning, once the Pup left to go to church with Nana, and I had gone to bed for my morning nap, PepperMist got a bright idea – she hid her sister’s new bunny.

I know, you’d think that was mean, right? Wrong! She then spent the time the Pup was at church writing out clues, shoving them into plastic eggs and hiding them. Once the Pup got home, I woke up to the sounds of both girls giggling and running and having a blast as the Pup followed the clues (sometimes with helpful hints from PepperMist) to find her bunny once more.

As noisy as they were? I could stand to wake up like that, to the sounds of them getting along, more often…
