Mr. M&M&M

Last weekend we paid a visit to our "local" Mars factory. Yes, the candy company. No, I don't work for them. Yes, I would get very very very fat. However, my very generous bro-in-law works for them and invited Mr. A and Miss M up for the annual Easter Egg Hunt/Bunny Hop (apparently they had to re-name it this year b/c some city councilman put up a stink about calling it an Easter Egg Hunt. God bless America).

Neither my B-I-L nor my sister had been to this event before so we didn't quite know what to expect. I kept telling Mr. A that he would get to see the M&M man! And, I kept saying, "Won't that be so cool?!" To which he always asked, "Mom, where's Mr. M&M&M??"

The Easter Bunny couldn't quite hack it in the cold, blustery weather so we missed our picture with him (he was running inside for a warmth break when we went to sit with him. Dream-dasher. Whatever.). BUT, we did get our picture with Mr. M&M&M. Doesn't that count for something?

HUNTING - I admit - it was a lot more like Trick-or-Treating than Hunting, but it served the same purpose - lots of candy in bag in a very brief amount of time

With Mr. M&M&M and Auntie Nancy - the 2 celebrities of the day (Mr. A was a LITTLE intimidated but he did give him a high 5)

With Uncle Clint, too (celebrity #3)

We hope it's not as cold, not as windy, but just as yummy next year. Thanks, N&C!! And, thanks, Mr. M&M&M for finally letting us find you.
