The ending was a surprise. Sounds like you all had a great time. I hope you managed to get a nap later in the day!

We had the tooth fairy talk this morning! You see, the little darlings had decided to test their theory and left the tooth under the pillow without informing me! Needless to say
SHE did not turn up! I cannot tell a lie, no siree, when asked face to face, I admitted my sneakiness, but they conceded! My “Well, the do you think a little fairy could carry all that money?” theory was discussed and analyzed in full. No for sure she could not! I came down several hours later to find the tooth in its usual place waiting for payment….Ahem, I thought you guys did not believe in the fairy anymore! “Oh, No mum, we have realized that SHE is not real, but the tooth fairy is a GUY! He WILL BE COMING TONIGHT! Go Figure, the workings of a conniving male mind!

Sara, what a fabulous idea! I was thinking about hiding the baskets in my bedroom closet next year, but their own beds does sound much better.

We hid the kids’ Easter baskets in their beds this year, and they hunted everywhere without being able to find them. They were so eager to get out of those beds they didn’t look around at all!

Your kids are too smart for me, Baby Boy didn’t EVER figure out the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, or anything else. If I lived in your house, I’d probably have to sleep on the porch, LOL.

What a great story! And a super-surprise ending. You should write a book.

Happy – The – Day – After – Easter!

I was actually pretty disappointed he hadn’t doubted before then. He was shocked, and a little upset. Over the next few days he’d think of questions to ask me, all as if he thought maybe I was teasing when I said it was me. “But.. how did you get that under my pillow without me waking up?” and, “But.. what about the LETTERS?” I expected him to take this knowledge and run with it, and figure out the secret behind Santa and the Easter Bunny as well, but he didn’t. It was months later, while he was upset and telling me how some other kid told him Santa wasn’t real, that I fessed up about that one too. (And as much as I wanted to say “Duh!” I didn’t.) Thankfully, it only took about a week after that confession for him to ask the truth about the Easter Bunny. I made him swear to play along, for the sake of his sisters. But now, it seems his playing along is a bit forced and exaggerated, his comments about the Easter Bunny a tad pandering and condescending, and I think his sisters are quicker than he is. My 7 year old seemed to be catching on this Easter. So we’ll see how that goes.

But melancholy.

Someday, you will all look back on this and laugh.

Happy Easter.
