Our neighborhood social committee does a great job of putting all kinds of fun events together. Saturday (after the neighborhood yard sale), they had the Easter Bunny come to our neighborhood. We walked down to the pool area (not far) and Fi insisted on bringing one of her dollies. She decided to name this dolly "Coolie Bobbie." I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA where she came up with this name. I've tried to change it to something "normal" but she turns me down every time. We were quite the site walking with Fi pushing her little stroller and Will running ahead. It was really touching, actually. The sidewalk ends at one point and Fi wasn't able to push the stroller on the grass. Will came over and offered to push it for her. It was so sweet. We got to the pool and the line for the bunny wasn't too long. The kids managed to be patient - it helped that they saw the kids that finished got eggs with candy in them. They ran up to the Easter Bunny (unlike their reaction to Santa) and immediately sat with him. The neighborhood had a photographer taking pictures (not sure if they're going to call, just send the pictures, or what) and she gave my kids a great compliment - she said they're very photographic and have great smiles. She asked me how many great pictures I had of them. Quite a few, actually. :) This was just the start to a great evening - see the next post, because there's a video. :)

Getting Ready for Easter
