Hoppie

Bright and early this morning we awoke to find this little fella on our front step.

Apparently he is hopping around visiting the homes of bloggers and spreading cheer as we approach the Easter holiday. In honor of Hoppie's visit Ellie and I decided that we should bring him along with us today to brighten up all our little day-to-day tasks that are normally so boring. 

He came with us to pick up the kids from school. He seemed a little upset about being strapped into the seatbelt so I let him have a look out the front window whilst we moved oh-so-slowly forward in the carpool line.

We finally got a new mat for our trampoline (the old one had a very large hole). We spent a few cold minutes testing out the bounce. Hoppie took a turn as well. Here he is giving us the thumbs up (ears up?) for appropriate bounciness.

While having a bunny with you at the grocery store might be a little strange it can also be helpful. Thanks to Hoppie I remembered we needed some carrots. Phew!

He also joined Lindy and Ellie in some quality TV time (aka: "mom gathers her sanity time"). I think his favorite program was Arthur. 

Happy...oh, I mean Hoppie Easter everyone!
