Which Came First, The Chicken or The Egg?

First, the egg. The girls found lots of them over Easter. The boys were content hiding the eggs and eating the candy. We don't really do the Easter bunny thing. Really, a big pink fluffy bunny hopping around leaving gifts? Bah Humbug! We do hunt Easter eggs. We had an Easter egg hunt with Aaron's family the weekend before and then again at our house with just our kids. Don't you love Vanessa's Easter basket? It is from my sister and Vanessa insisted on using it. Oh well, it's festive enough.Then, the chicken. Twelve baby chicks joined our family yesterday. I grew up on a farm with chickens so, I can't say I'm overly excited about this prospect but, Aaron and the kids are happy so, I am happy. I have to admit they are cute for the time being!

Um.. like.. chicks to KEEP?
Jasen would love to have some to add organic eggs to our organic garden.. but we have a big blackdog named Roscoe that just might eat them.
Congrats on the addition to the family!

Yeah, not big Easter bunny supporters at our house either. In fact, a couple of years ago (without being asked) I just came out and told Ivey that the Easter bunny wasn't real. Did you just lose motherhood respect for me? (I told her NOT to say anything at school or tell her friends.) But I just couldn't betray her trust in me and flat-out lie to her at something so ridiculous as a giant bunny hopping around. I didn't want her to get confused and second-guess other important truths I've told her (especially the religious ones!).
