THE Easter Egg

A virtual Easter egg is an intentional hidden message, in-joke or feature in a work such as a computer program, web page, video game, movie, book or crossword.  It draws a parallel with the custom of the Easter egg hunt observed in many Western nations as well as the last Russian imperial family's tradition of giving elaborately jeweled egg-shaped creations by Carl FabergĂ© which contained hidden surprises.[2]
Most of the time we think of Easter baskets in the sense of prize giving. That one time a year we give our child gifts and not have to wrap them. Ones we can hide in the yard, dye funny colors, give permission to bite the heads off of rabbits and people not look at you odd because its obviously the chocolate variety. Well, I can guarentee you I will be watching much more closely the items I pick for my kids baskets in the future! Toy guns...nope, cause violent thoughts/actions, candy...not much, makes the kids go crazy (and mom too!), jump ropes...oops, yeah not to a 3yr old apparently! Ah, but a Disney movie, thats safe right??? WRONG!!! Disney planted an "easter egg" on me! It came in the form of scissors in the wrong characters hands and off came my daughters hair!
Here's the damage done!
Here's damage control.
The look was more over the fact she got blow-dried, which means noise and thats a no-go with this chick! She's happy to have short hair, though when daddy sees it he might cry! The stylist said not much could be done to "fix" it since she butchered it in places to the point of almost bald. So the "fix" of the day was a trim, shape up and a comb over. Looks like lil miss mess will now have a side part.
Otherwise, Jax's first Easter was a great one! The e.b brought Freyja a strawberry shorcake toy, an egg that grew a turtle, a strawberry shirt, rapunzel toy and movie , a minnie mouse doll and few other small candies and cutsie things. Jax received Puffs (baby crack), a onesie, some pacis, a bunny, a sheep and a mickey doll. We had a wonderful lunch with the in laws and all around wonderful family day :)
