My Easter Eggs 2011 [More:]
My late idea to do Angry Birds took most of my time, so I only got to do one other egg from your suggestions (Homer Simpson). Sorry about asking for help and then not using it. I'm going to have to start at noon next year in order to finish earlier in the evening - we were going until about midnight.

In any case, we had a good time painting. My sister did the base coat of black for the bomb bird and my dad did the base coat of white for the egg-dropping bird. Because the egg wasn't white enough...

Also, my nephew is now really into blue.
Ha! Those are great. And I don't even play. :)

I always look forward to these.

I actually forgot that it was Easter until today. Not paying attention.

Those are wonderful, muy bueno. So cool and well done.

We just finished ours and you put us to shame. (My most creative egg consisted of writing "Zombie Jesus loves your brains" on it.)

Thanks, guys! We have such a great time doing it each year.

I'm not doing eggs this year for the first time in I dunno how long, but those are some quality eggs!

Wow, those are fantastic. It would never occur to me to paint a real egg.

Although I love chocolate - and there's something about Easter Egg chocolate that's so much nicer than normal chocolate, even if it's only Cadbury's - I've not bought myself an egg or a Lindt bunny this year, because I know I'd make a pig of myself with it and I'm trying to be healthier.

A neighbour gave me a very small chocolate egg yesterday (about the size of a chicken's egg) and I ate it last night. It tasted unbelievably sweet and didn't make me want to have any more chocolate.

In his podcasts, when Kevin Smith talks about Angry Birds he always mentions how the cowboy hat shouldn't protect the pigs from falling concrete. That's why I made sure to get the little cowboy hat for the pig and I tweeted the photo to him earlier. Well, Kevin Smith tweeted the photo of the pig in a cowboy hat to his 1.7 million followers. Views on my Flickr stream are through the roof. I feel like I've just won the internet.

I've mostly grown out of the candy thing, but love me some Cadbury cream eggs. I picked up a Russel Stover trinidad egg, and had planned for that to be my only Easter candy, but we're going to the BF's grandparents tomorrow for brunch. Considering that we still have Christmas candy from them, I see more Easter candy in my future.

Those are GREAT! Luxuriate in your triumph! And save me some malted milk eggs from your Easter basket, wouldya? Yum.

Fisherman wake up call three point status update || I have no idea how people got their cats wedged into their Pop-tarts, or why.
