Snowy Easter, Naughty Baker
Phoebe's basket was heavy on the clothing and drawing materials. Our Easter bunny is a pragmatic, low-sugar bunny.It wasn't hard to see where the Easter Bunny went when she was hiding eggs (dressed in a down parka and stocking hat and boots) on Easter morning. There were big fat tracks in the snow. Once the kids noticed that, finding all the dyed eggs and baskets was a snap!
Liam wrote the following classroom essay on manila paper about his Easter basket, which contained a stuffed Boston terrier (which he adores) and some Cars and Spiderman boxer shorts (like his dad, he's a boxer guy).

In my Easter basket the other day, I dug and dug until I found a puppy.
Then I dug an dug again. Then I found some underpants.
This effort garnered him a 100 in English and a 95 in Writing. Plus a sticker with a tiger on it that says TERRIFIC! And no doubt a chuckle from his teacher. Liam's the kind who would pull down his pants to show her his Lightning McQueen...
This morning, I was packing lunches. I've been raiding their baskets for lunch treats since Sunday. I left them on the bed, since they were almost empty, just a couple of malted milk robin eggs in each one. And came back to this:
What are you looking at, Mether? I am just sitting here on the bed, as I often do in the morning. Hmmm? I do not know what you are talking about. There is no grass hanging from the corner of my mouth. Why would there be grass in my mouth?
There were no robin eggs in these baskets when I found them. Liam must have taken them.Mether: Let me smell your breath, you lying sack of sugar. Aha! Malted milk!
She used the breathalyzer on me! Busted!Labels: Easter baskets, naughty Chet Baker

Priceless expression on Baker's face: "oh-oh! She caught me!"
Love it!
Julie, Hi from Sanibel (only till Sat, alas). Many, many birds and other creatures seen. Also seen, Letters...right at eye level in the Ding Darling bookstore, sandwiched between Kingbird Highway and All Things Reconsidered. Very nice.
We had the great pleasure of stopping traffic just east of the refuge entrance this evening to assist a grandfather gopher tortoise across Sanibel-Captiva Rd.
One of the highlights for all of us.
Cheers,
Caroline in SD
HAHAHAHA...TEARS ROLL...HEHEHHAAA!
GUFFAHAW.
THAT IS THE FUNNIEST CHET I HAVE EVER SEEN!
Not only a priceless Baker moment, but that QUILT! Is that the one from Guatemala? Whoa, baby! Could we see more of that, please?

LOL! This is one of your funniest posts ever! Liam and his underpants (deserved an A for originality), Phoebe's loaded basket with art supplies, and Baker's guilty look drives me to insane laughter! I don't know how you get him looking so guilty. You must "talk" him into the part. THIS post is good for the soul. I loved it.
Caroline, just stay in Sanibel. My friend in Jamestown ND said it was 20 there this morning. Just stay. Find an excuse.
Liz, I can hear you laughing and it's doing me good.
Wendi, that is THE Guate. quilt made entirely of used huipils (the ornate women's blouse fronts). It is to die for. I keep meaning to photograph pieces of it and post. But it never gets sunny outside and I need light to do it. This was an ignoble way to debut such an incredible piece of art. Rumpled.
Mary, I'm glad you liked it. I have to admit there was a bit of recreation involved, because when I discovered him I turned on my heel to get my camera and being a BT of course he followed me. So I had to get him back up on the bed. The guilty expression came quite naturally, you can be sure, without the slightest prompting. He knew what he had done. Does anyone else smell their dog's breath to see what they've been up to?
Oh dear, naughty Chet! I love how he half closes his eyes when being scolded.
Hope he doesn't have too much of a tummy ache...and for your sake, I hope he doesn't have too much gas.
Hilarious!!
What an expressive face.
Mmmmm... loved those malted milk robin's eggs, so can't blame Baker a bit...lol. Cute face he put on trying to prove his innocence.
My dogs make me laugh too when they're naughty. But they don't have the ability to look quite as guilty as Chet Baker. Is it the eyes or the ears or the combination that achieves that truly guilty expression? Does he get offended when you laugh at him?
Chloe once stole a few black licorice Twizzlers and yes, I did a breath test. She was guilty.
I never had to test Bella's breath - one look at her face and you KNOW she's guilty.
What a belly laugh! I especially loved the muzzle puffs on Bakers face in the last picture.
Had a gal from California call me begging me to sell her the dog sitting on the lawn chair in the picture at my website last night. Told her no can do, he is the famous Chet Baker owned by a good friend in Whipple, Ohio. She was heartbroken and will now be stalking your blog site! He is so expressive who could not love that face! And yes, I have been known to check dog breath too, living in the country and having livestock it's not always a good idea.
Baker. Deny everything! The law firm of Deny, Lie, Cheat and Steal is on the way to represent you in this unfounded character smear campaign.
Jane, didn't I tell you that would happen if you put a picture of Baker up at your site? For those Baker freaks who just can't get enough, here's a link to Jane's site:

I haven't yet figured out how to make it a live link, but you should be able to paste this into your browser. Or is that your bowser?
Wow, this ALMOST tops the Trader Joe's chicken strips = gassy Baker post from a while back, which is my absolute favorite; that one's platinum. This one's pure gold!
Was this photo from the "The Boy Can't Help It" post? I just want to hug that boy.
It's even funnier when I know that you put him back on the bed to take his picture. Like a mug shot for the world to see. He knew you were going to put it up on your blog. Dern mether!

Julie,
Did the bluebird eggs hatch yesterday? I'm crossing my fingers for you.

Guess what? Good news! The martins are back! When I arrived at work this morning I was greeted by the sweet sounds of happy martins. They are going in and out ar record speed catching up on nest building today. What a joy!
Oh, and Julie I love your comforter on the bed Chet is sitting on.

Well, at least malted milk eggs smell better than the breath on Nellie when she has been sampling the kitty litter crunchies.
Oh, Mether -- not even a sheep could look that sheepish (or annoyed at being found out).
Play Roulette for free as often as you like, get a feel for the game and how to place you bets.
Free Roulette is a great game with many ways to bet so learn strategy and have fun.
Roulette is a casino and gambling game named after the French word meaning "small wheel".
The roulette wheel is believed to be a fusion of the English wheel games ... The American style roulette table with a wheel at one end is now used in most casinos.
Is a Free Roulette Systems 100% Effective Or Should I Pay For One?
They are a dime a dozen, but there are only a few
roulette strategies that really work. Also I think it is great if you
can find a Winning Roulette Systems, because these roulette systems really do beat the wheel time and tiem again.
