On my part, there was a whole load of humility baking.
That's what happens when you set out to make this:
But it turns out like this:
Pat: "Is that supposed to be an egg?"
Me:
Pat: "Well, I guess it's the taste that really counts!"
And while I was making that (and a bunch of other things), Pat was busy building giant 250 lbs rabbit cage-tank numero dos.
He was like a bulldog, worked on it quickly and all. day. long. Mac came over and helped, and thanks to the help, Pat finished it right at dusk, including the final coat of paint on the outside!
Pat told me he used over 15 normal screws, 100 deck screws, 150 nails, and 1500 staples. So, needless to say, Pat got an intense arm-workout all day long. Not to mention all the hand-sawing that he did!
We have to report that Wyatt was very happy to be in his new cage.
And, on the subject of rabbits, we also had *some* new additions to the family!
The baby bunnies arrived today (as in Holy Saturday!), just in time for Easter!
Can you see them in there?
Yeah, neither can I. But I can tell they are there as they move around under all that fur. And because of where the mama-bunny (Parsnip) put her nest, it is completely inaccessible for us, and so we won't know how many babies there are OR what they look like until they come out of the nest or at least climb on top of the fur!
Very very clever.
Although being right next to the chicken wire, it's a good thing she didn't have these babies back in February or March with all the cold, snow and sleet.
So maybe she is very very stupid?
Oh well, the jury is still out. But I can't wait to see what they look like!
She is a very protective mama, and always watches closely when anyone approaches. So it will be interesting to see how she behaves as the babies grow up.
While I was running some errands in the afternoon, Kateri went with Nanny and visited her great Aunt Gigi and great Uncle Dick. She had so much fun! In the pictures I saw, it looked like she was carefully hoarding all the toys to herself!
Afterwards, she went with Nanny and Mac back to their home for some very special baking!
An Easter Cake!
Kateri worked very hard to decorate it.
And had so much fun!
Especially when she and Mac tested the icing to make sure there was no poison:
(Let's be serious. Best part of baking!)
Kateri was very proud of her cake!
And how she decorated the top:
Thanks to Nanny and Mac for such a fun afternoon and Easter craft~ she loved it!
The Easter bunny came right on by on Holy Saturday, and our decorations (most of which are courtesy of the store) were all set out! So here are a few:
