An Easter Surprise
(Nope, it wasn’t a bunny.)
Well, I’m a bit upset. This morning we woke up to an unexpected surprise. This year the Easter Bunny decided to leave a little more behind than just a few baskets of treats and goodies.
Couldn’t he/she (does anyone really know what gender it is?) at least have the courtesy to go before “it” comes inside, or even just wait until after?
I definitely wasn’t happy about the trail, but once I stepped on a little wet spot on the carpet with bare feet, you can imagine my anger. A bit upset with this, I asked Jacob and Nicole to feel the carpet, asking them if it was what I thought it was. Sure enough it was, so I sent them to go wash their hands.
After taking some pictures of the evidence, I made Jacob and Nicole clean up the mess. They were a bit reluctant to do so, but quickly changed their minds in order that I wouldn’t write a note next year telling the bunny he’s not welcome. After all, I don’t want to be the one to clean up the mess year after year… and my basket isn’t even nearly the size of theirs, so why should I do it?
Maybe I wouldn’t have been too upset with this if this last Christmas Santa hadn’t let his reindeer inside our house. They too left us with a mess, which I had to clean up, leaving their droppings behind and even getting into and eating the hay from baby Jesus’ manger (next year we’re definitely not going to leave out food again for Santa’s reindeer).
Nicole thinks the Easter Bunny only did this because I set up a trap to try and catch it, but I’m a bit doubtful. Bunnies aren’t that smart.
(FYI – it did nibble at the carrot that was set for bait, which I’m assuming was the reason the basket had fallen, but unfortunately it got away somehow. The trap I set next year will definitely be much better!)
Bunny poop…gross! I do like the bunny trap though. I once had a bunny named “freckles”, he was three times bigger than any cat I had ever seen and was twice as mean. lol.
Your new baby is a cutie pie!
