This year, the Easter Shark is visiting the kids. Last year the Easter Bat brought them a delicious selection of fruit and pancakes for breakfast. But the Easter Shark is leaving them each a breakfast plate arranged to look like a small underwater scene. Cool Whip dyed with blue food coloring is the water, crushed graham crackers and yogurt covered raisins are the sea floor, strips of fruit leather are seaweed, and there is an octopus made with a mini pancake, strips of french toast sticks for legs, and a painted-on face made of chocolate sauce. Yes! I just did a test plate and it was perfect for a toddler.
Also, they'll each get a bag of colored goldfish crackers for later in the day.
Screw candy and eggs. They don't like hard boiled eggs, so I'm not going to waste my time. And they don't need candy. The whole point of Easter when you're a little kid is waking up to a surprise. Surprise! Awesome breakfast waiting for you! You'll want to eat the whole thing, kids! No gross licorice jelly beans or bunnies made of nasty chocolate to ruin the fun!
I told Elise the Easter Shark was visiting tonight and he would leave her a present. I asked her what a shark might leave her to eat. "Fish?" So I said, "Maaaaaaaaybeeeeeee! We'll see tomorrow!"
