I decided yesterday since hubby was at work that I would go ahead and take the boys to have their Easter Bunny pictures taken. It took me almost an hour to pack their bags with clothes and snacks, diaper change and dress both boys in cute little outfits, , find matching shoes, take the jogging stroller out of the car and put the double stroller in, get some food in them, and load them in the car. Whew! So, I checked the Cortana Mall web site right before I left the house and it confirmed that they were open for Easter pictures from 12-5 (with a bunny lunch break from 2:15 – 3). Awesome. I drive out there and load the kids and bags into the stroller, feed Carter a bottle, and mix Ricky some formula. Mom meets me up there and we stand in line at 12:15p and there is no bunny in sight. Not only is there no bunny, but the people in the front of the line finally go to the info desk only to be told that the bunny was there but the photographer wasn’t. We were told they should be there soon. Proper courtesy and good business would have been to have a mall representative come tell everyone about the delay, or at least post a sign up! An hour later, both kids are no longer happy and neither am I.
Mom suggests we go eat, so we head to Burger King. While there, hubby calls to say he is leaving work and can meet me. I call the mall to confirm the bunny was there and they say OF COURSE. I had to explain why I was asking and she apologized and confirmed the photographer had finally made it. Hubby gets there and mom leaves to finish her Easter shopping. Hubby and I drive back over to the mall and load the kids up. We get in there and are third in line. When it’s our turn, I wake Carter up and hubby (who has been holding Rickybear) sets Ricky down. Ricky walks right up to the bunny and hops in his lap!!! We place Carter in the other arm of the bunny and THEY BOTH ARE SMILING!! The lady takes 4 pics and asks me to come see how good they were… and… wait for it… the computer freezes and won’t come back up!
So yeah, that was the end of our Easter Bunny pictures. Hubby was so disappointed. I snapped a few with my phone, but they weren’t centered, Carter had a spitup issue, and both kids didn’t smile pretty at the same time, but at least we have something to remember the occasion with. If hubby hadn’t been there, I probably would have lost it on the poor girl. She was calling tech support over and over but no one was answering.
Rick’s parents are going to make an attempt to take the kids at some point this week to the other mall. Hope they have better luck than I did!!
Here are some snapshots from the excursion:

I would love to say he was disappointed not to see the bunny,
but in reality he was just scared to be up that high. |

| Looks like they are sharing a secret |
