I was so excited for Easter Sunday, as was my son Jax! From the moment I said we were going to dye Easter Eggs to talking about the Easter Bunny he was on high alert, and ready to tell anyone that listens what he wanted for Easter.
So I told him on Saturday, after work that we could dye Easter Eggs, and you would think I put a million toys in the kids hands. It was hilarious, he immediately ran down the road to his buddy's Anna and Zoie's house and told them what we were up to. He promptly invited them to come and join us, he forgets to check with his mama, on many occasions.
I only had one dozen eggs so it was time to send out for reinforcements. I had to send T out to get 2 dozen more, which on the Saturday before Easter its a miracle in itself that he found some. I wonder if chickens realize when Easter is coming and they are put on high alert?
So we got to dying. And apparently those little Egg holder maboobs, are not made for humans. We had quiet a few casualties in the egg department. So I decided yeah kids just stick your hands in the dye it will probably wash off, right.....Right? (in case you arent aware thats not right).

While this did work much better than the stick, the clothes they were wearing and there arms and hands were dyed nice bright pink and deep deep purple, with a side of green going up their arms. The kids loved it, although I am not sure it matched their Easter Apparel. OOPSie!

Well once that was done it was time for a movie, NANNY MCPHEE 2! Which Jaxson asked about five million questions thru but I think he really liked it. Then time for Bed because if you dont sleep that Easter Bunny won't visit you right? RIGHT.
Well all I had to do the next morning to get him up was mention the word Bunny and it was like he had been hit with a bolt of lightening. Even his momma couldnt keep up. He ran to the couch to find his daddy sound asleep, and watching the history channel, Jax was so upset, he thought the Bunny forgot him, or his daddy smooshed his presents. It was quiet funny until Jax realized that maybe he should check his toy room.....
Our little monkey made out like a fatt bandit! That Easter Bunny sure did think he was good. He made out with every kind of chocolate candy out there....Snickers, Twix, Baby Ruths, Butterfingers. (Funny thing T eats chocolate, Jax not so much who is really benefiting from this???), and pretty much every other kinda candy was in that basket too (Runts, Sour Patch Kids (his and mommys personal favorites, Sprees, Sweettarts) his teeth are gonna fall out. He also got some educational toys like the tag reader and three new books, which he didnt really care too much about after seeing his brand new NERF glow in the dark shooter and Remote control Car (Bunny liked him). He casted the books to the side and promptly riped open the gun and begged us to help him get into the packaging of the disc/bulllets.
He did pause to mention that the bunny really liked daddy because he brought his favorite chocolate, and apparently mommy was bad because the bunny didnt bring me anything. I couldnt help but laugh when I shoved three....okay six sour patch kids in my mouth.
After a few minutes playing with the new goodies, we started getting ready for church, Thats when I realized what I got for Easter, A big FAT swollen STYE on my eye. I had realized my eye hurt when I went to bed the night before but didnt think much of it. I washed my face and just went to sleep. It felt a little tender when I woke but again didnt think much about it, until I looked in the mirror. MOVE over QUASIMOTO, momma's in town, only my hump was in the front. Booooooooo! I looked terrible, and I couldnt stop wanting to rub it. But we went to church anyhoooo. See my easter photo below.....
It was a good service, I was a little tired so I couldnt really focus which is terrible but true, and once it was over we went home, and I laid down, and passed out in the best pregnant sleep coma I have had in a very long while, after about three and half hour nap, I woke up and played a bit with Jax. My eye was starting to bug me at this point but I decided we may want something for dinner so I pushed it to the side of my brain. So after a late Easter trip to Bilo we made steaks, and potatos, yum. Then I got on the computer to try and figure out how to COMBAT this icky deformity on my eyelid. WARM Compresses, Baby Soap, GOLD, I tried everything, and then I went to bed....
THAT CRAP didnt work one bit. I LOOKED SERIOUSLY DEFORMED on Monday morning, and the worst part I had to go to Work. UGH. I wore sunglasses all day, and tried to keep from rubbing it.
Continuing with all of the treatments I found posted, but nothing worked.....IT got angry, actually peed off, and got bigger and then started swelling my eye together. PS that sucked made me look worst than Quasi moto, its almost humerous but not really.. Anywhoo, it wasnt until today Friday 13th that the stinking thing has gone down somewhat, so that I look somewhat recongnizable. So I guess Jax was right, that bunny didnt like me very much, now did he?
