After taking the girls to have their Easter pics taken, I thought it would be a good idea to go over and have the girls pic taken with the Easter bunny. In years past (with just P1) it's been something I would do if I was in the area. I figured it was P2's first Easter I better preserve the memory and get her pic with the rabbit.
As we walked to that area of the mall, I expected there to be a long line. It surprised me to see that only a few people were in line. It was, afterall, the last Sunday before Easter, so I thought everyone and their mama would be in line. Nope. Not even close. In fact, as we got a little closer and got in line, a few people ahead of us stepped out of line. Not a good sign. We're waiting, and once we get to the front, a girl comes over with some sample photos and starts giving me the schpeal. "You can get this sheet and this sheet, OR this sheet and this sheet OR....". I asked how much they were a sheet. She happily exclaimed "$24.99". I think my jaw dropped at this point. I said "Per Sheet???". Yes, a sheet. Holy BUNNY SHEET! That's grand larceny right there. Now I've paid for some over-priced Santa pictures during my mommy-dom, but $24.99 for one stinking sheet with a sad white rabbit?!?!? Ummm, NO.
I politely told the girl we were just going to visit the bunny (code for: You're on crack if you think I'm paying $24.99 a sheet!!). :) Meanwhile, I tell P1 that I'm going to attempt to take a pic with my phone and to be looking at me and smiling when I walk back up to them to pick up P2! (While trying to keep it on the DL because I see the sign that says to refrain from taking personal pics without a minimum purchase blah blah. YA RIGHT!!) So I sit both of them down, and oddly enough, when you're not smiling for the camera and trying to coerce smiles from children, there isn't a whole lot going on there. There isn't much to say to a bunny, and he has less to say back! So they just sat there. AWKWARD! hahaha After what seemed like an eternity, I grab my phone and slowly walk up to get P2. In my feable attempt to be sneaky.....
I present to you....
P2's first visit with the Easter Bunny....

Wow that bunny is a little freaky. And yes 24.99 is crazy but this 1st time mom actually paid. LOL
That's funny! What does a kid have to say to the Easter Bunny anyway?
$24.99 per sheet is highway robbery!
Ha ha ha...I love that picture! Our Easter bunny is the same way. YEAH RIGHT! Luckily we have a train that goes around the mall and the Easter stuff (including the bunny) that's only 1.50 a ride. THAT is how Jackson saw the Easter bunny...waving, from a few feet. =)
