Easter basket ideas

[MomToTwoBoys]

I got the kids their items tonight and they both get different items. DS12 cannot have anything with artificial colour and flavour in it and I read labels like a hawk. I did score him a 1lb white chocolate easter rabbit and a jumbo pen, with a massive colouring book and some pencils and chaulk and other items. DS7 got some chocolate, a couple of pencils, some chaulk and a few non-chocolate goodies. This year's different because half of the normal dinner crew at my inlaws will not be showing up.

MIL called and asked me today about artificial colour and flavour and I assumed she was buying items for the kids as well. All in all, it wasn't half bad for the last minute.

I bought the kids each 5 things out of the $1 bins at Target, then reused their baskets from last year. They went to an Easter egg hunt on Saturday, so while they were sleeping I took 3 eggs outta each of their stashes that already had candy in them and put them in their "easter bunny baskets."
