Well, it's Easter Monday - overcast and misty rain here, and a little bit cooler than it has been. Which is fine for a day at home (I always take Good Friday and Easter Monday off if I can). Time to do some laundry, and get ready for the regular routine again.
We had a great Easter weekend. As usual, my niece Amanda and her husband Patrick came from Baltimore to celebrate, and also as usual, we had a blast. Saturday of course was spent creating our Inappropriate Easter Eggs.
We managed to do some personalized eggs for the kitties and Dug, but got carried away and forgot to make any for ourselves! Oh well.
Political eggs, from top: Sanders, Trump, the KKK (I didn't quite get that one, but I didn't make it), Sanders again, and Lyin' Ted Cruz (that's what it said above the picture)
Pop culture eggs, starting with the yellow one: Caitlyn Jenner, the Pope, Pretty Little Liars, Richard Simmons being held prisoner by Paul Giamatti (I didn't understand the Giamatti part, even once explained), and Oscars So White.
The RIP eggs, from top to bottom: Abe Vigoda, David Bowie (the other side had Alan Rickman), and the Supreme Court.
So as you can see, a fun and inappropriate time was had by all.
Yesterday morning, we all opened our Easter baskets (well, the ones for the kitties in Baltimore got packed away to go to them), and they were a success.
Things deteriorated pretty quickly after this shot. They all got these little tea bag shaped toys with catnip inside. That took care of the goodwill. ;-)
Dug was tired from all of the excitement and the company, but still thought his basket smelled pretty good!
After we went out for a yummy brunch, Amanda and Pat headed home, and we took our annual walk to the bookstore with the Easter Doodle.
Dug loves this whole thing. He knows the bunny ears get him lots of attention. The Tim always promises the people who have to work on Easter that he will bring Dug to visit. On the way there and back, people stop and ask if they can take a picture, little kids hug him, other dogs look appalled. When we get to the bookstore, Dug is like a rockstar, and sucks up every single second of the adoration and love. He always hates to head home because then it's just back to normal life ...
After a yummy Easter dinner, we just cleaned things up and took a breather, watching some TV shows that we had recorded and just hanging out.
Holidays are fun, but they can be exhausting.
I hope your Easter was wonderful as well! And for those who don't celebrate, I hope you had a lovely weekend and had a chance to relax.

Your eggs are a riot. We may have to adopt that inappropriate egg strategy for awhile!
The dog bunny is just THE BEST.
NExt year the cats will have baskets....all they got this year was a smidge of lamb shaped butter on their nosees.
I love every single thing about your post! The inappropriate eggs, the kitty baskets, and - most of all - Dug and his bunny ears! What a delightful day.
Your animals are so freaking cute in their Easter happiness. Thanks for sharing your good times! Those eggs are so cool. I would love to have a fun and inappropriate time with you guys, though I'm no artist and would probably just put beards on all the eggs and call them annoying hipsters, ha!
Brilliant eggs!
Holidays are exhausting. I haven't gotten off the couch all day. Three naps and counting. Even the Pup is wiped out.
Seriously those are the funniest eggs I have ever seen. Love the political ones but the white Oscar's one was the best.
Hugs,
Meredith
