Mother's Day is coming up...

... and finally the world will understand just how awesome my Mommy really is. I have a pretty cool Daddy too.

This is a painting my Mommy has hanging in her office. Okay, it's really a copy of a painting. This is The Mirror by Robert Reid. I like going to see her for a lunch break so I can see the pretty lady in the picture. She works hard in her office all day and then I see her after she gets off of the train. Then I yell, "Train! Choo-choo!" It's a ritual we have.

My thoughts on the Easter Bunny:

I had never met the Easter Bunny before this year. We have lots of bunnies in our backyard and I always wave to them each morning and say "Hi!!!" They are brown and I've noticed they've multiplied from one bunny to three bunnies. I don't know how they did that, but when I asked Mommy about it, she said, "It's magic."
So, anyway, we went out for brunch on Easter Sunday. And there I was, eating my eggs and fruit when this GIGANTIC bunny comes up behind me and tries to give me candy. I mean, not like a cute little bunny from my backyard. It was HUMUNGOUS!!!
So, I thought about it while sipping my "Bunny Juice" and wondered if anyone else saw this ridiculously huge bunny and if he tried to give THEM candy. But everyone kept acting like everything was normal.
Now I'm wondering if I made up the whole thing in my imagination. It was weird. I mean, if the Easter Bunny left me a basket and hid those eggs, why would he show up to brunch? And why would he give me MORE candy when I'm eating eggs for breakfast? And how did the Easter Bunny become so big in the first place? And where did he get that yellow bowtie he was wearing? Is there a shop for ridiculously humungous bunnies? This just goes along with all of that confusion I had about Easter from last year. Easter is a weird holiday. Christmas, I understand. A mommy, a daddy, a baby, and a lot of presents brought by a big fat man with a white beard. But this Easter thing is hard to wrap my head around.

Can someone explain why I look for eggs on Easter?

This is me with my Easter Basket left by Mr. E. Bunny.

First I examined my goodies and then my parents said there were eggs in the backyard that I had to find. I guess Mr. Bunny dropped a few on his rounds. I got dressed and we headed outside to look for more eggs.

First I found the Blue One. That was pretty easy, and I eventually had no problems finding all of them.

I did knock over my basket once. There were a lot of eggs.

But I couldn't find the Pink One. I kept lookin' and lookin'. I looked in the flowers, in the bushes, on the grass, under the stairs...

I felt a little silly when I found it right behind me. *sigh*

Me and Uncle Eric like to play with the cell phone camera...

This is a good one from when he visited for my 2nd birthday. He's STILL in the Army. They were supposed to let him out last month, but there was something called Stop-Loss and now he'll be in the Army until sometime in 2010. When Mommy tried to explain it to me, it sounded pretty stupid and kinda unfair. But they did let him visit for my 2nd birthday, which was really important to me. If those big-wigs didn't let him come to my party, I was going to get tough and kick some booty. Don't mess with me. I may be little, but I'm a firecracker.
