Passover Rabbit visited us today, leaving behind a plastic egg with a clue as to the whereabouts of more eggs and more clues, which ultimately led our five year old granddaughter and her three friends to the oven (cool), where they were delighted to find four identical Hello Kitty felt baskets, each with the exact same contents of pencils, pencil sharpener, gum balls, a "Frozen" pad of paper resembling a hand held mirror, plastic eggs filled with pennies, and one Cadbury chocolate egg.
Cooperative treasure hunting created a sense of mystery the girls could delight in. They shared wide-eyed queries regarding where the next clue was sending them. They were sure they heard ghosts in the stair well.
Miss D, the only reader so far in the group, also became the leader, as she knows best all the rooms here. If we could've borrowed the Marauder's Map from Harry Potter, we would have seen, from-the-ceiling-perspective, the criss-crossing footprints, of the gaggle of gals as they ran from one end of the house to the other; from up to down and back again, in search of the next egg filled with instructions - in VERSE, yet! Oy! Such creativity reigns, when Gran'Pun lets loose with rhymes. Wha's a matzoh for YOU, eh? Is this joke falling flat? Can't get a rise outa ya? How 'bout dem Matzoh Balls, huh? Oy, you should only lift one and get a hoi-nee-yah like I got… I'm telling you… it's the yeast you could do!
It was really fun to cook and decorate for the event. Cozier still because it rained a LOT this morning!
May the heavens rain only good stuff on your parade, and may you, and every bunny you love enjoy a swell up-rising of spring energy!
