"Pssssst! Hey! You in the top left corner!"
"Me?"
"Yeah, you! What's going on?"
"Well, I think THE STONE RABBIT and that lady are putting together an Easter basket for the little girl who's gonna visit here on Sunday!"
"How do ya know that?"
"I heard the lady tell THE STONE RABBIT to put that PINK grass in the basket, then they would add some of the other things she had picked up for the little girl."
"What about those M & Ms and the colored marshmallows?"
"The lady told THE STONE RABBIT she used to put those in little plastic eggs for the little girl's daddy and his sister when they were small---she likes to do that for the little girl, too!"
"Hmmmmm."
"The lady also found a special Sesame Street DVD! The little girl adores Abby Cadabby and she loves to watch 'ALICE' when she spends the night with her!"
"Ahhhhhhhh....."
"And I heard the lady tell THE STONE RABBIT how much the little girl likes to play with the Fisher-Price 'Little People'----so she was really excited when she found this Eastery set!"
"That's all great, but what are they planning on doing with us?"
"I think we'll be put in the little girl's Easter basket!"
"Huh-uh!!! I don't want that to happen!"
"What do you have in mind?"
"I'm planning an ESCAPE!"
"Wow!! An ESCAPE? Suppose I can ESCAPE with you? Where are we gonna ESCAPE to? Can the other Pink bunnies come along? How are we gonna. . . . . . . .'
"SHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Just be quite and follow me! Yes, the other Pink bunnies can come, but they must be quite!!! Hurry THE STONE RABBIT and the lady aren't looking!!!"
"OK----the coast is clear! Tell the other bunnies they have to pull realllllly hard to get the door open!"
"Tell them to keep pulling---it's almost open!!!"
"YIP-PEE!"
"Hurray!"
"Freedom!"
"Look at all of that green grass!!"
"Look at me-----I'm nibbling on some kind of a plant! It looks a little brown, but it is yummy!!!"
"Can you see ME? I'm under the holly bush. It hurts my mouth to nibble on it, but I LOVE to look at the pretty leaves!"
"Hey, bunnies!!! I found a delicious dandelion to taste!!! I've never had such a treat---EVER!"
"Up here!!! Up here in the tree!! Can you see me? Aren't these flowers beautiful? Isn't the sun shine amazing? Aren't you glad we ESCAPED?
Look over there by the front porch----I see a HUGE concrete bunny!!! He looks so nice. Let's go over and see if he'll give us a tour around the rest of the yard!"
"Yey! This is great Big Bunny!"
"Thanks for letting us hop aboard!"
"We loved the ride!"
"What fun, but LOOK over there!! LOOK at what the other bunnies are doing! Let's go join them!"
"Don't we look wonderful on the lady's wreath?"
"Suppose she'll notice us?"
"I hope she let's us stay---we can see EVERYTHING from here!"
"Uh-oh!!! There's THE STONE RABBIT and he doesn't look very happy with us!"
"PINK bunnies-----you need to get off that wreath right now and come over here. I have plans for you!"
"What do you think THE STONE RABBIT means that he 'has plans for us'?"
"I dunno---but I think we'd better do as he says!"
"That's right little Pink bunnies-----come on over here and start climbing in the baskets! Yes, in there---two to a basket!"
"Excellent Pink bunnies!! You look magnificent all snuggled in the little Easter baskets! You are all important to me because you will each be going to live with one of my special yard buddies!!! I know they will love you!"
"Happy Easter, Big Bunny!! I hope you enjoy this gift---and thanks for giving the little guys a ride around the yard!"
"Here you go Baby Bunny and Flopsy---your very own Easter gift!!"
"Hi, Curly!!! I brought you a little Easter basket!!!
Now I must be off to help the lady finish putting the Easter basket together for the little girl!"
"There!!! It's all ready! I hope the little girl enjoys her Easter basket from the lady. The PINK bunnies were really excited that I picked them to go in the little girl's basket, too!!!
They told me they enjoyed their Easter Escape, but they really want to see the little girl's happy face when she finds them in her basket!!!"
For more PINK SATURDAY fun, visit Beverly's at HOW SWEET THE SOUND! She will have lots of blogs ready for you to visit!!
THE STONE RABBIT and I wish you a wonderful Easter!!!!

Oh Dana,
You really need to write a children's book. You make me want to escape here and come see the look on the little girl's face when the lady gives her the Easter basket, or is the Easter Bunny going to give it to her? You're an excellent blogger or poster whatever I'm trying to say... I really should check in more often (Note to self!). Have an excellent time with your grand-baby, I bet that DVD is delightful! Blessed Easter to you and yours ;)

A good Pink Saturday morning to you Dana, I wish some of those pink bunny pinkies would have come to my house. I would have rescued them....for about five seconds. Yum yum I love those sugary things. Consequently I didn't buy them this year. Instead I made cookies from Sheila's (the dear one) post. Much less sugar and so good. Your story, as always, is so much fun, with great pics and imagination. You are on the top of my list for Pink Saturday fun Dana. and many others too. BIG happy smile!
Your little grand girl will love her special basket for sure. It is sad that all of my grands are far away and getting older too. I miss the little ones.
Blessings to you and your family for Easter.
Hugs xoxo...Jeanne

What an adorable story and basket. Your sweet granddaughter is going to love that basket.
We LOVE Sesame Street at our house, although Ben is more a fan of Elmo than Abby Cadabby! LOL
Blessings to you from a transplanted Missourian living in Kansas,

Eggcellent Easter Humour - some little girl is going to be so pleased with her Easter basket. I have never heard of Peeps before; we don't get them in Australia and I haven't seen them in Guernsey. Happy Easter

Yes, Donna's right. It is up there with the dancing Santa's! And how fun for the little grandgirl. You are so big hearted to treat ALL your stone pets with a basket of goodies and I'll bet you and the SR had a ball with the Peeps. Here's wishing you a wonderful Easter and I hope it's a springy WARM one. xoxo Nancy...who just LOVED this post!

The picture of them opening the door had me spit laughing on my screen. I should have seen that coming with you in charge. I would adore following you around and taking picture of your neighbors faces when they see you hiding peeps all over and photographing them. I bet they all think you have gone over the edge and are now a fullfledge member of looneytown! HAPPY EASTER my nutso friend! You're the best.

happy pink, heidi
Posted by: Heidi | April 12, 2009 at 08:15 PM
Awww, how fun! I thought for a minute there that the pink bunnies were going to get squooshed in the door, but they got out safely. Then I was sure that they were going to be gobbled up by the pink bunny or a neighbor dog, but everything turned out okay, and they got in the Easter baskets after all!
Bet the little girl was very excited with her basket and pink bunny peeps! I actually found chocolate mousse bunny peeps for my boys.
