Easter Bunny Scam.... Shame on you JCPenney!

Our plan for today: Go to Dance (be out of the house and packed for today's adventure by 9:30am), go to Southpoint Mall, go to JCPenney's and find Easter outfits (I knew which ones I wanted, they match my nieces outfits my sister got) then eat lunch at the mall, then change all three kids into their Easter outfits and get a nice picture with the Easter Bunny. This may sound simple, O.K. well it might not sound simple to most of you but I've done crazier things with my kids before, this sounds like cake compared to Christmas Shopping with all of them or Disney with two 2 month old babies.

So we head off to the mall. We complete our first task and find matching outfits. It took a little longer than I thought because they had Bella's sizes in a different spot than Kylie's and JCPenney is not stroller friendly.

Now we had one more errand to run before heading off to lunch and then the Easter Bunny. We needed to find Jaxson a Suit for Coleen's wedding. I knew they had them at Macy's. JCPenney didn't have them (they never have a good toddler selection for boys).

Off to Macy's, they have the suit but not his size, I get the 2T anyway figuring it isn't much different than the 24 months I needed.

So off to Lunch. We make it to center court and wait a minute, whats missing, all the Easter decorations and the Easter Bunny?!?! Well it turns out our Mall has teamed up with JCPenney and if you want to see the Easter Bunny you have to go to the JCPenney Portrait Studio on Thur, Fri, Sat or Sun and during specific times. In the fine print it also says (no same day portraits).

Now the 4 year old is crying because "why would the Easter Bunny not be here? It's always here?"

We load up and headed off to a different mall that has the Easter Bunny (I checked my iphone to make sure). Cary Town Center in the center court 10am to 9pm!

Unload at the second mall, finally eat lunch and feed everyone, check JCPenney for suits (they have one in his size), out to the car to get the other one and return it to Macy's (JCPenneys was cheaper), off to the family restroom, change two diapers and THREE outfits (Jaxson is not a fan of restroom changing tables, he likes them almost as much as he likes taking a bath). Oh and lets not forget the hair, we've already taken two rides in the car, including two short naps.

Yay, we are ready for the Easter Bunny!

I was so surprised that Jaxson didn't cry. This picture is priceless and totally worth the day we had. We started out at 9:30am and got home at 5pm. *On the way home Jimmy texted me "so, are you going to the gym tonight?" my reply was a simple "No, I've already been to the gym."
