LS said...Really? "use your kid's sand bucket" and fill it with "real grass or clover"
How disgusting is that? My kid's sand bucket is filled with SAND and dirt, and the grass is barely long enough to pick. The clover hasn't even sprouted yet.
Aren't we going a *little* overboard with this "green" stuff?
I'm all for re-using baskets, using paper grass instead of that obnoxious plastic stuff, natural-dyed eggs (functional and pretty), and making my own treats, but come on, people, we're crossing the line from thrifty to stupid with some of this stuff.

Vince said...Hey Bethany, this is really great advice, thank you for the post and recommendations for what can be a stressful day. Easter is one of my favorite holidays. It’s another excuse to paint eggs, hide them, and dress up in a huge bunny suit which somehow earns you the adoration of young children. I’m not sure how the bunny came into being a symbol, but somehow it has stuck. I made a list on my website of the top ten reasons I love about Easter: http://www.toptentopten.com/topten/reasons+i+love+easter. You can vote and also add your own reasons.
