Revenge of the BUNNY

Springtime brings so many wonderful things to Wyoming...things like, mud, snow, and wind. But it also brings the Easter Bunny. We were pretty positive that the Easter Bunny would not find our current house considering we moved recently. So, we decided to head off to Adam's parents house and hope that the big hopper could find us there.
Obviously, one has to do certain things to ensure that the Easter Bunny can find your house. Things like paint eggs. Over the years, Camille has become a pro at painting eggs. Adam would be considered a semi-pro; however, he is definatley a pro at eating chocolate eggs (especially those Cadbury ones with the hard shell...mmmm, slobbering thinking about it).
Adam's mom also was sure the Easter Bunny would find the house, and so she helped out with the painting. After so many years of putting up with little boys destroying and painting everything but eggs at Easter, she thoroughly enjoyed painting a few. (note: She even told a story of when Adam was a little boy and mistook a dye pellet for a smartie, and ate it. Adam's tongue was purple for a week and she was sure he had poisoned himself. As she was telling the story Adam was slowly putting down the pellets that he thought were smarties.) Adam was worried that, given his age mentally, he would spill something on himself. He therefore borrowed a shirt from his dad. The wording on the shirt says it all... (Note: who knows what Adam is doing in this picture. Maybe he just ate a dye pellet.) Each year we attempt to make funny/clever eggs. This year Adam started things out with an angry, old, yellow man (comb-over included). Camille was instantly attracted to this yellow man and attempted to get fresh with him.
These are the finished products. For a quick game, see if you can spot: Angry yellow old man, French Man, Monster Man, Piggy, BYU Egg, Wyoming Egg, Pirate Egg, Cher, Smiley face egg, Open Wide Egg, Dinosaur Egg, Cyclops, and the Sharpie Marker used to make all these eggs. As with any good battle, there are some casualties. We only had one egg suffer a gruesome death. His guts exploded all over the Egg Cooker. If this is too graphic for your, then please turn away...
Adam's mom was yelling "Nooooooo!!" in dramatic fashion. She was so overcome with emotion at the death of this egg. To console her loss, she cooked another dozen eggs and ate a handful of chocolate eggs. This seamed to calm her down considerably.
Many of you did not know that Camille had such big, beautiful blue eyes. Adam didn't, he always thought they were brown. But weird things happen on Easter. Heck, Camille could have been a were-Rabbit, and her big blue eyes were the first things to change. Adam said he would be ok if she were a were-Rabbit, as long as she brought him an assortment of Deviled and Chocolate Eggs.

Hope everyone had a great Easter and will have a great spring.

I LOVE your eggs! Personally, I'm partial to the "Y" egg, but that's just me. Your eggs were definitely a little more artistic than ours were.
