Jumping Bunnies

Did you all have a good weekend? It’s been pretty busy around here, but last night TheManoftheHouse, BigDaddy, MeMum and I all went to see The Duchess. I. Loved. It. {Very Big Sigh} If you go, you might want to take a box of kleenex. ;-)

I spent most of the rest of my weekend in the dungeon. While I was sewing, Mama Bunny was busy tending to her new batch of babies. They’ve been pretty quiet and well-behaved up until today when Mama Bunny made the mistake of letting them read a few blogs.

After reading all about the adventures of Lesley’s newest chicken, the bunnies begged and pleaded with Mama Bunny to take them outside. As we don’t have chickens to visit, they decided they wanted to jump in the fall leaves. That would have been ok, except the leaves are still on the trees. So Mama Bunny came up with another plan.

She lined them all up on the hedge and let them practice jumping off the hedge into a makeshift trampoline. It was the best she could do on short notice, and now they’ll be all ready for jumping into the leaf piles.

They jumped and jumped for about an hour. Everyone was laughing and cheering and having a good time. On DickandJane Bunny2′s 6th jump, he landed on his back.

Cupcake Bunny1 wasn’t paying attention and she was so excited for her next turn that she leaped off of the hedge before DickandJane Bunny2 could get off of the trampoline, and she landed on his head.

This resulted in lots of screaming by DickandJane Bunny2 which brough Mama Bunny to the edge of the hedge to yell down at those two bunnies.

By now, all the bunnies were getting tired and Mama Bunny decided they needed to settle down. She made them get down off of the hedge and they all hopped over to the garden, where they listened to CementGirl read them a story.

After the story, it was naptime, so Mama Bunny made them come inside. They were pretty stinky from all that playing around, so Mama Bunny made them hover around the beautiful Strawberries and Cream Cupcake Sachet that just arrived from Alison this week (Thank You Alison!). It’s a fantastic sachet and after a few minutes near it, the bunnies smelled nice and clean.

Mama Bunny tucked them all up under a quilt for their nap. There was a lot of giggling and squirming, but they finally fell asleep.

Just looking at them makes me tired, so I’m off to bed! I hope you all have a Happy Monday!

XOXO,
Anna

P.S. Thanks to everyone who let me know that my comments on the last post were closed. Sometimes wordpress resets them for some odd reason. There must be something causing it, but I don’t know what it is. Hopefully they’re all fixed now.

Oh my goodness they are so adorable and I love reading about their adventures, what a scream!! It reminds of a book I had as a little girl about a doll that had adventures like that.
They are squee-able!

Oh your bunnies are adorable!!! He he, and sooo busy :o). You should write a book!!! Very entertaining, thank you :o).

Oh, my goodness! How utterly sweet! You do, absolutely, have to have that little story made into a book!!!! Really, truly! I’m serious!

Those are adorable little bunnies! Cute post too :)

You better keep mama rabbit away from papa rabbit or you will be overcome. You’ve got a good start already. Then they will all want your attention and you will have to come up with more games for them to play…..Just a little warning….you never know what they will do when you go to bed at night!!!!!!! Hugs, Tracey

Hee hee – thank you for cheering up a misty Monday morning!!
I just love Cementgirl reading all those bunnies a story! What was she reading? It seems to have them spellbound! Brer Rabbit? Watership Down?

Oh what a fantastic way to spend a happy bunny Sunday! Love Cementgirl – such an attractive name! And I hope DickandJaneBunny2 is feeling better now. Lucy xxx

Ack! They’re all so cute! I’ve gotta dig out ours. The kiddo stashed it away somewhere among her toys. And thanks for the movie recommendation. I need a girlie movie excuse so that I can leave the geezer to fend off the kid for an afternoon.

Comment by Jade — October 13, 2008 #
That was fun to read! I have a question, I may have missed this…is that YOUR personal design for the bunnies? I have seen them on your blog before but it didn’t dawn on me that you may have created them. IF so, do you sell a pattern? or do you sell the finished bunnies?

Comment by Vickie E — October 13, 2008 #
OMG Anna…I’m laughing so hard I can hardly type…when I got to CementGirl I had tears running down my face. I just LOVE those bunnies!

There are all kinds of stories popping up in blogland lately [I'm thinking of the new series set in a small Scottish village over at Isabelle's!] Your bunnies sound like a rambunctious lot! Will there be further adventures? They’re so cute! Their Mama Bunny must be worn out keeping up with them!

Comment by molly — October 13, 2008 #
What a fun bunny Mom! Wonder if my kids would like to do that today??? Loved your jammies in the last post. You did a beautiful job! It’s time to make some, isn’t it? Got to get that old serger working and then I can whip some up like a dream!

Comment by Kristy — October 13, 2008 #
Anna, you should make this into a little book with one of those online custom photo-album services. Such a cute story, and I love the photos! (I know my kids would, too. ;o) I’m going to show this to them later today . . .

Those bunnies are adorable!

Comment by Annalea — October 13, 2008 #

Did the neighbors watch you or they probably expect stuff like this to happen over at Thimbleannaland. Loved the story and my favorites parts were bunnies reading blogs and cementgirl reading to the bunnies.

Oh my gosh. I can’t believe you made all those bunnies. I just laughed at those pictures…did you ever see Monty Python with the rabbits? Your bunnies are sooo cute.

Comment by raina — October 13, 2008 #
Well I’m glad your comments are up today because those bunnies couldn’t be cuter!! I love them. Love. What a fabulous assortment, too.

You crack me up! LOL. Those are the most adorable bunnies! The cupcake one is to die for! Well maybe not die for, but you know. Made me smile. ;o) ooxx`jod

Comment by Jodi — October 13, 2008 #
I have always been fond of mischievous bunnies. They’re not named Benjamin Bunny or Peter Rabbit are they? Those are our favorites. They are sweet though.

Comment by Dandelion Quilts — October 13, 2008 #
What a creative post! I just love the bunnies. Now all of us are going to have bunny envy!!! *Smiles from ear to ear* :P

Comment by Kim — October 13, 2008 #
What wonderful bunny fun!! I wan’t to play with the bunnies, what great fun to jump from hedge to trampoline. I guess I’m a little big for that trampolin, so it’s best I didn’t get to play. Thanks for a super fun post!!

Comment by Dee Light — October 13, 2008 #
Those are some busy bunnies. I’m worn plum out with their adventures. Did these once belong to Beatrix Potter? (cute!)
