What is the Bunny with the Money bringing the kids

[dancemomof2]

Just curious, I try to make the baskets each year different but this year I did candy, sidewalk chalk, matchbox cars, ne pool floats a stuffed bunny of course, hair scrunchies, lip gloss, nail polish bubbles,balls,Itunes cards. Then I bought them a new pool for outside as a group gift.

Any other trinket suggestion for 14 & 11 year olds. The 2 year old is easy trucks cars bubbles and balls and a new outfit.
I swear This Bunny with the Money could use a cost of growing up raise.

I have to say that I don't even know what the kids got in the way of candy this year. My MIL bought baskets for them from this really good local candy company and I haven't even seen them yet. My mom got them a little bit of candy too so they're set in that department. Griffin (2 1/2) got a Diego Tricycle which I am sure he is going to love (mental note still need to take that out of the trunk and put it together) The older kids each got these weird pillows that they can plug their MP3 players or CD players into and listen to music through them.

I put the same kind of stuff in Collin's basket that you described...small toys like cars, hand held games, little trinkets, new water wings, stickers, a stuffed rabbit and a chocolate one, and of course CANDY filled eggs! But, this year, I also put some tokens in there from the Bowling Alley for video games, and I put movie tickets in one egg. I also put change in some and dollar bills in a few. The Golden Egg has the tickets in it, as well as $5. (He already LOVES money!) He counts the money in his piggy bank daily and insists on going to the bank with me once a week to put part of his allowance in the bank! It is very cute!

Would you believe I bought 500 plastic eggs and put candy in them, plus five pounds of wrapped candy eggs, 120 small "trinket gifts," three stuffed bunnies, and one large easter basket? Our Lions Club will have an Easter Egg Hunt early this afternoon and that was my part. My daughter will be donning an easter bunny suit and will also carry around a fancy basket with candy --- and if any child doesn't find eggs, we will have some to give them. I'll try to post a pic of the BIG bunny handing out eggs --- by the way, she says I owe her BIG TIME!

When our kids were younger I used to make coupons from Santa, The Giant Pumpkin, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny for stuff they enjoyed that usually a had a "no" when they asked "Mom can I...."

Easter baskets, Christmas stockings; these are my husband's family traditions but of course we all know who ends up doing the shopping ... LOL

Let's see, I am looking through the bag where I keep all the stuff until the Big Day, so I'll try to list it as I go along. This is a good idea, anyway, so I can double check, make sure I didn't miss anything, make sure there's enough to fill her basket... all that.

So, we have here:

1 earrings/necklace set
1 pocket etch-a-sketch
2 silly putty eggs
Cocoa peeps (gag)
1 chocolate bunny (Neslte Crunch, her favorite)
1 Superman yo-yo ball
1 plastic egg with mini Reeses peanut butter cups
2 sheets of stickers (one classy; one Tinkerbell; Susannah has a thing for Tinkerbelle ever since she played Tink in a school play last year )
1 keychain (also Tink)
4 Lindor truffles in the shape of eggs
1 box for holding "whatever;" pink Superman logo (did I mention she is also a Supes fan?)
3 pink tennis balls (these are for throwing around with friends)
1 pad of post-it notes shaped like dogs
1 small chocolate lollipop shaped like an Easter egg
1 pink and white Beanie Baby kitten ("Pinkerton")

Candy has to be limited due to mild diabetes; even the small amount we give her, we limit how much she can have per day. I always feel bad about this and end up over-compensating with other things. Fortunately the Bunny's finances can cover it.

All of your lists sound so wonderful. Youre going to have some happy kiddies waking you up on Sunday. Makes me wish my hubby and I would get started with having kids I'm only 24 yet though, so I'm going to wait a BIT more.

less then 12 hour until the sugasr rush begins. Make sure the coffee is ready to go mom's

I have just performed my rabbitly duties. His Easter basket is filled and on the foot of my bed, (where he is asleep.) Other eggs and goodies are hidden EVERYWHERE! It is all I can do not to go in there and wake him up right now! But, I wont. But, it sure is hard! Sort of like on Christmas Eve after I have put out the presents, it's all I can do not to run in there and yell, "Santa came! He really came!" Anyone else getting the urge to go wake 'em up?

[GriffsMommy]

Oh yea Amy, I just went and got Griffin's Trike out of the car and put it together. I want to wake him up so bad. I think he may have a heart attack. We brought home a puppy today and then he gets a trike and candy tomorrow, what more could a 2 year old ask for!

I went out tonite to do the bunny shopping only to come home and find out my son, who is 16, is staying the night elsewhere..grrrrrrr!
All I can say is enjoy them while they're young!

Off to go wait for 'the bunny' all alone..
