Easter 2010

Carrie and Benson are here for the week while Daniel is in Chad checking out the oil rigs. So we get the privilege of spending Benson's second Easter with him. That means we teach him about hunting eggs and baskets, etc. At the grocery store we were checking out and the male bagger saw a little bunny that we purchased for Benny. I said "Isn't it cute? and squeezed it for him to hear the bunny say in a Bugs Bunny voice "Some bunny loves you. " And then it makes that teeth clicking sound that Bugs makes. The bagger looked at us like we had lost our marbles. Then he saw a little wind up turtle toy and he shook his head and told Benson that his dad should have been there to pick out his Easter basket. Then he saw the plastic bat and said we had redeemed ourselves. We scattered big bright plastic eggs on the lawn and put the basket behind a tree but when Grandpa brought Benson out all he could see were the big dogs next door. He kept growling at the dogs while Carrie and I tried to show him how fun it was to pick up eggs and put them in a basket. He wasn't buying any of it. Easter this year was all about the dogs next door until... Benson figured out that the basket fit on his head. Then he reminded us that we forgot to teach him about Easter bonnets. Check out the stylin' hats he created. Seriously, this is not posed by Grandma. He just loved the basket.
