So today was an odd celebration of spring. Lots of normal warm weather stuff: riding bikes, playing in sprinklers, having friends over. But the biggest squeals of joy were over…peep jousting. Daddy heard about it and decided to try. Didn’t know it would be quite as much of a hit as it was though. Take two marshmallow peeps and stick a toothpick in each. Place them, facing each other, an inch of so apart on a plate. Then microwave. As they swell they, well, joust and skewer each other. They had way too much fun cheering for which one would win and then eating the “dead.”
Having enjoyed one demented pursuit for the day seemed to encourage thinking…outside the box. They decided they wanted photos taken of a chocolate bunny being eaten. I think they got the idea off a tshirt they saw online with two chocolate bunnies facing each other. The one with the bite out of its tail says, “My butt hurts.” The one with its ears missing answers, “I can’t hear you.” Twisted, twisted children.
Ah the joys of childhood and wonders of springtime…
