It’s only Tuesday and I really need it to be Friday. I traveled to my office today and found out I need to be there for training tomorrow and Thursday too. So an hour drive back home this evening and an hour drive early in the morning tomorrow. I am bushed. But here are some OOTDs from the past few days. And hopefully, there will be a J’Crewlet post tomorrow or Thursday.

I have two candies I cannot live without during the Easter season. The first just makes me pucker thinking about it. It’s Willy Wonka’s SweeTarts: Chicks, Ducks & Bunnies.

Now I know Nestle’ makes these and I can’t believe Mr. Wonka and his Oompa Loompa’s sold out to them. I mean here’s what they used to have in the bag.

Lovely Green, Pink, Yellow and Purple Chicks, Ducks and Bunnies!
But NOW! Well let’s just say Green and Yellow aren’t in Nestle’s vocabulary. They tossed them aside for Blue in a Tropical Punch flavor. 
I hate tropical punch. I drank Hawaiian Punch as a kid all the time and now it makes me sick. AND The Boy has taken a liking to this particular flavor of HP so it’s in my house.
So what do I do? I eat all the purple and pink Chicks, Ducks and Bunnies and hand the yucky blue ones to The Boy. If I’m patient I’ll take them out of the bag first. I don’t want those blue ones touching my pink and purples. 
My all time favorite candy at Easter is Russell Stovers Marshmallow Eggs. 
I love those and must have them in multiples. Don’t try and fool me with some random generic kind. I can tell. Yummy!
One of the many traditions I love that we do at Easter is Cascarones or confetti eggs. 
They are normally filled with paper confetti. You can fill them with bird seed too but prepare to make people mad if you add glitter or flour. That stays in for a while. I have 13 dozen so far but that’s really not enough for us. We usually go through 20+ dozen eggs for 15-20 of us. The little kids enjoy it a lot and since they can’t reach our heads we have to bend down for them. Although they do like it when someone is tackled and held on the ground (Yes we do that!).
Do you enjoy a “must have” Easter candy? Do you partake in Cascarones or some other tradition?
