Parental ritual no. 37: up late after the kids are asleep, putting green shredded paper and egg-like candy in baskets, as well as hiding others around the house...
I have enough basket grass to fill about 2x as many baskets as I did this year. Most of it being green. But when I spotted the pink and purple last year after Easter, it seemed a no-brainer to buy it and stash it away!
I was so lame in my basket-filling purchases this year that NO one got a chocolate bunny. Jelly beans (STarburst, Akien's fave), peeps (for Akien and AKD), speckled Cadbury eggs (my fave), and caramel-filled koalas (purchased post-x-mas) were the candy this year. Not even any Cadbury Creme eggs, which are a staple most years! Fortunately, I had a back stock of "tiny gifts" suitable for stockings and baskets stashed away in the attic.
James' loss. I'll eat his bunny ears if he wants. :^D
