Heck, mine are just excited to have all the neighbor kids color eggs with them in the driveway!

@cbp210: Yeah...it's something that my Grandma started, and I remember it every year. Maybe that is why I don't like raisinettes!

@AtascaGuy: In 2012, more than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese. CDCThey are besieged with "junk" advertising from candy, fast food, cereal, etc.

@tb505: My dog is not obese. ..I am not going to give my kids dog food .

@tb505:Neither is my snake...I'm not going to give my kids rats.

@Compgurl: Carrots are a lot different than rats or dog food.

allowing your kids to eat candy on Easter does not make them Obese.

Wth?

@Littlegoo: I think that's hilarious! My kids would have totally dug that when they were younger...wish I had thought of that!Some Debbie Downers on this thread. Blah.My kids don't believe anymore, but they still get baskets full of obese-generating crap ( FTR, none of my kids are obese ) and age appropriate gifts. They'll get Easter baskets as long as I'm able to put them together for them. It's just my thing. Like gifts from Santa under the tree every year.

Well, we got the eggs boiling right now! Just got back from gettin' candy n junk. We like to make a weekend out of this.

I always pack a basket with their favorite items. I use the same basket every year and no non candy/snack items allowed. Then I do eggs with treats and money inside and we do a hunt. I rarely have allowed egg coloring but I'm going to try and fit that in this year. And we do confetti eggs which is a tradition that came from my husbands family and I truly hate it. I try to stand in front of a tree with fists balled until all of the eggs are spent!

@757beach: Exactly....everything in moderation. Letting your kids eat whatever they want, whenever they want, go out for fast food too often, and watching too much tv and playing video games rather than play outside and be active is what makes kids obese/un-healthy/or overweight.

He used to..........Until:

Hahahahahaha!!! Now THAT'S funny!

Yesterday morning my youngest and the last "bunny believer" in the house asked me " Mama, which day is the bunny coming?" I froze. I forgot about the bunny. My little believer's grandfather passed away Sunday evening. DH and I have been preoccupied with memorial planning and completely forgot...about the bunny.Thank God Target was still well stocked today.Bunny is coming rain or shine. Ready for resurrection day.
