"Bowden, hold your basket up!"
Being the first of our family's children at nearly three years old means that Bowden got to hunt for about three dozen eggs all for him.
He found three and started cracking them open and eating them right away- Bowden loves hard-boiled eggs. Rosie and Nanny and Daddy found most of the others and pointed them out, and then Bowden picked them up.
Really, he liked the toys that were in the basket most, and was a little distracted. The Easter Bunny, (yes, we have an Easter Bunny, who celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ by leaving eggs all over the yard and filling a basket with toys. The eggs, we tell Bowden, celebrate the new life we have in Christ.) oh yes, the Easter Bunny left some 100-percent-fruit snacks in some of the plastic eggs, and that is what kept Bowden going.
So, although you can't see it, Bowden has a mouth full of at least three bags of fruit snacks. If Bowden were a chipmunk, and fruit snacks were nuts, he'd be set for three or four winters.

We did an Easter egg hunt for Griff and Adam. I bought the plastic eggs and Krista filled them. I couldn't say anything as I watched her fill the eggs with pennies (pennies!) and... Uh! 100 percent fruit snacks!!! What kind of mom-sters are you?
pennies are not good to eat. i just don't want him to end up like me and Josh with out love of the sweet and unhealthy.
I'm afraid John and I have successfully transferred a love of sweets...don't ever let your children visit us.
I love these slices of your life, AND the book blog! I get so excited about children's books, and often buy them for "the girls" (which term, handily enough, includes myself). Our latest great finds at a church rummage sale on Saturday were this and this. The first one made me think of Josh reciting verse in Big Al's, with a chorus of you chanting "Ridge Runner, Ridge Runner...
just cause you don't like to eat pennies doesn't mean Bowden should be denied the pleasure.
no pennies, and i put my foot down.
now, pushpins have some nutritive value....
fabigail- i love that appalaichan book- i need to find it...oh! there it is!
