Quarantined Bunnies

Hi everyone! We hope this finds you and your families keeping safe and well. What an interesting Easter this will be! The weather is getting nice out, the trees are starting to buds and the kids are pining to get outside! Life in April of 2020 is like any we April we have experienced before and hopefully ever will.

In saying this, there are so many things to be thankful for. We want to give a shout out to all the doctors, nurses, RTs, admin staff and custodians who are allowing us to be “safe at home” during these times. We wish you and your families peace and well-being this holiday weekend. Thank you for all you do.

Even though we are living in the age of a pandemic, we at Mobi believe we still have a lot to celebrate and Easter is a wonderful way to start. There are so many memories we have as adults that come up around the holidays and we want to create those long lasting memories for our little ones.

Things we do to celebrate:

Easter Egg Hunt:

Our kids are VERY excited about the upcoming Easter Egg Hunt we do each year. This is something that doesn’t really need to be altered due to the quarantine. Eggs can be hidden inside and in our backyard! Both kids already have a set of bunny ears courtesy of Nana and Papa….so they are basically ready to go!

Family Weekend/Dinner:

Dinner will be a little smaller this year as we usually celebrate with our extended family…but we will make it fun nonetheless. We’ve got a great recipe for carrot muffins that we are going to try (the Easter Bunny’s favourite of course ;)). We will also probably go on a long walk it the ravine, or a scoot around the neighbourhood. A movie night with popcorn will probably jump in there at some point. Although every day is kind of weekend of our kids right now, we want to make this weekend a little more fun and a little less “ordinary” if that makes sense!

Flowers:

Flowers scream “SPRING!” to us. We are up in Canada….so spring can never come soon enough. We always get tulips on Easter. They are super beautiful and easy and add a nice touch of color and life to any house!

Egg Painting:

We’ve never done this with our littles, but remember this from when we were young. Have you tried with your kids? We think ours are just at the right age to be delicate enough with the eggs.

Steps:

• Take a pin and put holes on either side of the egg.

• Blow the contents of the egg out into a bowl.

• Paint/color or dye your egg! You can use paint, markers or dye (see the link below for natural ways to dye your eggs!)
