Candy, Chicks & Rock n Roll

Candy, Chicks & Rock n Roll

Candy, Chicks & Rock ‘n’ Roll can be found on billboards from coast to coast promoting the new animated movie coming out Friday called Hop.  It’s from the producers of Despicable Me and I for one can’t wait to see it!  We loved Despicable Me and I know this movie will be just as cute!

You just have to love the way they’re promoting this film – candy, chicks & rock ‘n’ roll is a great attention getter!  The movie is about E.B., the Easter Bunny’s rebel teenage son, who instead of wanting to take on the role of Easter Bunny decides to run off to Hollywood with dreams of becoming a drummer in a rock ‘n’ roll band.   The movie has some great characters besides E.B. – there’s Carlos, the “chick in charge” who’s trying to take over as the Easter Bunny and the Pink Berets who are sent by E.B.’s dad to bring him back to Easter Island.  

Illumination Entertainment knew what they were doing releasing the movie April 1st right in time for the Easter holiday madness, getting everyone in the “here comes Peter Cottontail” spirit!  I know my family will be right there in line after school on Friday to see Hop!

Deluxe Bunny Adult Costume

This weekend will be filled with family get togethers, Easter Egg Hunts and honey baked hams.  The weather man says that Easter Sunday will be in the 70′s with plenty of sunshine and blue skies.  We couldn’t ask for a better Easter weekend!  Every year it’s up to me to plan our family’s annual Easter party.  I love doing it because we have a huge backyard giving us plenty of great hiding places for all those plastic Easter eggs the kids love to find.  The party is always on the Saturday before Easter. 

 

The best way to be organized when planning your Easter party is to have a checklist of everything you need.

  • food
  • decorations
  • colored eggs
  • Easter egg hunt
  • games
  • prizes
  • bunny suit

Now this last item on my list is by far one of the most important.  Even though all the children know that the real Easter Bunny doesn’t come until they are nice and tucked into their beds Saturday night, they love when my husband puts on his Easter Bunny Costume and hands out candy.  The younger ones get so excited when the “Easter Bunny” walks around the backyard with them to help them find their hidden Easter eggs. 

Easter is right up there with Christmas as far as children are concerned.  Every kid loves the Easter Bunny and the candy that he brings!  

Here’s wishing you and your family a very Happy Easter!!

Tom Arma Rabbit Costume

Tom Arma costumes are by far the cutest kids costumes I’ve ever seen. One look at your child in a Tom Arma costume and you’ll wonder why you didn’t buy one sooner.

They are absolutely adorable!

 

Every year our neighborhood has an Easter parade for all the kids. They decorate their bikes, wagons, strollers and scooters with streamers, decorations and of course Easter baskets and ride down street in perfect parade fashion. The parents sit at the end of their driveways and give out candy. The kids love it!

For the last few years my kids have been wearing Easter costumes and now practically the whole neighborhood does it. It’s sort of an early Halloween because all the kids call it their Easter trick-or-treating parade. If you have a small neighborhood you should really think of having the kids put on a parade. The kids get so into it there’s not much the adults have to do anymore!

This is Spring?

Wow, it is cold today here in Northern Kentucky!  I can’t believe that the Cincinnati Reds have their opening day game and the temperature is only getting to 39 degrees!  Plus besides the wonderful drizzle of rainfall we might get snow flurries!  And they say this is Spring? 

Well that’s the fun of living in the midwest!  You never know what Mother Nature has planned.  I’ve been to opening day games where it’s been absolutely beautiful with temperatures in the 70′s and plenty of sunshine and I’ve been where they had to stop for a few innings because they couldn’t see through the snowfall!  No matter what the weather, opening day here in Cincinnati, Ohio is always a blast.  With the parade, a brand new state-of-the-art scoreboard and the first pitch thrown out by Nick Lachey, what more could you ask for?  At least we’re playing the New York Mets and this weird weather won’t be new to them.  They always get what we get just a couple days later!

At least school spring breaks are still going on and families are heading to warmer climates such as Florida or out west.   A week of sunshine would be wonderful about now.  We’re one of those lucky families because not only do we get to head to a warmer climate, but we get to visit our much-missed family as well.  I’m looking forward to relaxing on the beach while watching the kids have a blast in the ocean with my husband.  Me, I’m fine just sitting on the beach!  As much as I love the beach, I don’t like the ocean at all!  I can’t stand not being able to see what I’m stepping on and the salt – well, that’s just got to go!

I am looking forward to spending Easter with everyone though!  Mass in the morning then a great day with a neighborhood Easter parade, our own family Easter egg hunt, lots of ham sandwiches, plenty of fatening desserts and a visit from the Easter Bunny!  The kids are going to love it!  The Easter Bunny costume that my sister’s neighbor is wearing is perfect!

If you haven’t got your Easter Bunny costume yet, there’s still time at HalloweenExpress.com!  Make this Easter one that the kids will always remember!

April Fools, April Showers and April Races!

Wednesday was April 1st or better known as April Fools Day (or All Fools Day).  A big day in the calendar year for all you jokesters out there to play pratical jokes on your family and friends.  Did you kow that in some countries such as; UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa the jokes only last until noon?  After that anyone who plays a trick on someone is call an “April Fool”.  Of course in the US, Ireland and France the pranks last all day!  So if you’re still in that “prankster” mood check out all the great pranks and gags accessories at HalloweenExpress.com.  There’s something to scare the living daylights out of just about everyone you know!

Today is Friday, April 3rd and there’s only one more Friday (Good Friday) to go before Easter.  Spring is in the air and the tulips are in full bloom.  Another thing in the air is rain – lots of it!  I guess the old adage is true ”April showers bring May flowers”.  It started storming last night and is still raining outside now.  I do love to sleep in a good thunderstorm, though.  I do hate when the lights go out during storms but at night when you’re getting ready to go to bed it’s dark anyway, so I don’t mind if we lose electricity at night. 

Today is also the first day of live racing at Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky.  They only have live racing (actual horses running on the track) during April and November.  My nephew goes to the University of Kentucky and a big group of them are all heading over to see the horses and place their bets.  Going to Keeneland is a long running tradition at the University of Kentucky.  Live racing goes through April 24th so if you love horses, love the excitment of the race, and  want to see one of the most beautiful race tracks in the country you have to go to Keeneland!

You still have time to order that Easter Bunny costume I’ve been talking about for weeks to save yourself the headache of waiting in line at the mall for pictures with the Easter Bunny.  Have a family member or friend be your Easter Bunny this year with a great costume from HalloweenExpress.com.
