Hey Kids,

Sniff the flowers. Sit under a pink and white tree and READ a book.  Spring smells good and it feels good just to be outside. Easter is about to join us. Best of all, yummy Easter candy!!

TT and I love Easter. We’re on the lookout for an Easter Gobbler. The park is a good place and we’re in luck.

We sneak and creep behind some bushes. The parents are hiding candy eggs all over the grass. I JUST LOVE EASTER.

TT yells and pinches,Get moving Stubb. Don’t let these kids get ahead of us. I want candy!!!!!”

The race is on! I spot a pile of eggs and candy and hurry ahead. I pounce and cover them up.

TT screams, We’re surrounded by kids. Don’t move. Hold your ground. Play dead.

I flatten. Close my eyes and hold my breath. The kids step on my tail and jump over me.

It’s very quiet I open one eye. A little boy is sitting next to me. His  basket is empty.

Stubb, don’t fall for the Empty Easter Basket Trick.

“TT, he’s been crying. His face is red and smudged with dirt.”

The little guy pats me on the head. “I can’t run fast. My sister knocked me down.  She found lots of candy!” His eyes fill with tears. “My basket just has grass. I don’t like Easter.”

TT continues to yell. Stubb, forget this whining kid. We found these treats. Too bad kid, and who cares anyway.

The little guy reaches over and scratches my ear. Then he  put his arms around my neck and kisses my nose.

If you give him any of our candy eggs I’ll pinch you! 

“TT you’re a Terrible mean Tummy.”

There’s a LONG SILENCE . . . . I thought I was a Terrific Tummy.

” You could be Terrific, if you decide to share our eggs.”

Another LONG LONG SILENCE . . . . I guess this little pest can have a few. Just a few small ones.

The boy picks up some candy eggs and drops them in his basket.

He hugs me, jumps up and runs after the kids.

“Okay, Terrific Tummy it’s time for our Easter Gobbler.”

Have a wonderful Easter and remember to share.

Why???? You feel better and your HEART SINGS.

Enjoy Spring and HAPPY EASTER

Stubb and TT
