Monday is Detox Day

Oh, we had a great Easter!  Last night we put food out for the Easter Bunny.  Carrots and jelly beans are what he likes best.  We also left our eggs out for him to hide.  We went to bed VERY excited for that bunny to come.
When Hannah woke up this morning, the first thing she said was "Did the bunny come?"  She ran down the stairs and saw all the baskets.  The bunny was in such a hurry that he accidentally caught some of his cottontail in the door.  Hannah carried it around with her all day.

Before breakfast she had eaten all of her chocolate bunny.  You can tell from her glazed eyes that it was already getting to her.  I swear, I only left the room for 5 minutes to check on breakfast and she had eaten the whole thing and her mouth looked like this (Sugar intake #1).

Then we found that the Easter bunny left eggs outside our house with candy and pennies in them (Sugar intake #2).  

Next we headed over to Gracie's house for her Easter/Birthday party.  By this time Hannah was pretty crazed and wild eyed from all the sugar, but this didn't stop her from swiping a Peep as soon as we got there (Sugar intake #3).  Gracie looked like a princess in her party dress!  Ezra really liked the mulch and as long he had two eggs to bang together he was good!  Jack did his own thing and collected a nice basket of eggs!


Then Gracie opened her presents with the help of Hannah and we all sang Happy Birthday and ate cake & ice cream
 (Sugar intake #4).

Last, but not least, we went to Grandma Lisa's for more cake because it was Grandma Rowald's 89th birthday.  Seated around the table are Grandma Rowald, Grandma Lisa, Paul, Lisa's brother Harry, Barb (Helmut's wife) and Lisa's other brother, Helmut.  Hannah isn't in this picture because she is running around the house like the Energizer Bunny(Sugar intake #5).
We finally took the little sugar monster home and tried to put her bed.  She eventually got in her bed, but talked to herself for another hour before crashing.  Tomorrow will be a no sugar day.  I hope she doesn't have the shakes too bad.

That is too funny, that is how Jack was at my Mom's on Saturday, he was all surgared up. That is true about Jack doing his own thing, it's almost like he waits for the other kids to run away to a different area, then he starts scoping out where he wants to start first.
