For the love of chocolate

April 8th, 2009

bunny-eating-lettuce

Ok now onto a serious matter…I may be mistaken but isn’t the  Easter Bunny a freaking vegetarian?  Actually isn’t he technically a vegan?  All he eats are salads right?  He absolutely adores carrots, celery, beets and lettuces.

Now I ask you….why oh WHY do we feel like it’s not Easter without a basket full of chocolate?   I don’t keep chocolate in the house and my kids don’t get to eat it very often.  But I went merrily into the Target near our house and filled a shopping cart with Reese cups wrapped in pastel tin foil and m&m’s that look like birds eggs ( it’s ok I got the dark chocolate kind so they’re “healthy” m&m’s)

I also bought Addison a solid chocolate bunny to put in her Easter bucket.  It’s not huge but it’s nothing but a brick of chocolate molded to look like a rabbit.  Because my almost 8 yr old daughter neeeeds more of a reason to act like a spaz.

Yeah she needs a solid brick of chocolate about as much as my waistline needs all of the chocolatey treats that I will be snarfing this week. Hey I only bought them  in the name of tradition.

You know what would be funny?  If I just decided to forgo the candy and just buy a veggie tray.

What do you think Addison would say if she came out Sunday morning only to find a veggie tray in the middle of the living room floor?  Something tells me that wouldn’t go over very well.

Happy Easter!  Have a beet!

I think there would be an uprising of titanic proportions.

While I was out buying Easter goodies in the form of chocolate I stopped at Lifeway and bought a couple of  books, some ressurrection eggs and a lamb Webkinz.  I also went to Target and got the girls some new spring pj’s and Madagascar 2.

I blame Target.  With all of their cheerful spring displays and trendy items.  I still maintain my theory that there is a Target conspiracy. They are taking over the world with their trendy affordable products and brilliant marketing techniques.   I mean who doesn’t love a montage of household products? Target…just know this…I am onto you.

    LOL. I can only imagine that a veggie tray on Easter morning would go over just about as well as me attempting to go swimsuit shopping right after eating an entire chocolate bunny. You blame target, I blame those blasted flourescent lights.

    So funny! And so true. Hey, I made paper carrots last year and then put candy in them. Does that count? ;)

    It gets better when they are older. Both my kids are very practical and just want the $$ I would spend on candy instead. God I love those kids.
