I love contests and during these trying times it's wonderful to get a break from all that's happening around us. A big thank you Kaitlyn Sanchez and Ciara O’Neal for hosting such an awesome event! And thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who will be donating their time and expertise for such amazing prizes. #SpringFlingKidLit

      Mabel wanted a bunny ever since she read the Peter Rabbit stories.

     One day she asked, “Can I get a bunny with long floppy ears?”

     Mama said, “Maybe for your birthday.”

     But that never happened.

     Another day Mabel asked, “Can I get a bunny with a cottontail?

     Papa said, “Maybe for Christmas.”

     But that never happened.

     Again, she asked, “Can I get a bunny with a cute little nose?”

     But this time Mama and Papa didn’t answer.

    “Maybe Easter?” Mabel asked. Mama and Papa smiled.

     Easter was a few days away and Mama said, “We have a surprise for you.”

     “A bunny?” she jumped.

     “No. Two rescue puppies.”

     Boom! Crash!

     Two puppies rambled in and plopped by Mabel’s feet.

     They weren’t bunnies, but they were cute. Mama asked her to think of names.

     Easter morning Mabel bounced out of bed with an idea.

     “Ta-Da! Meet our bunny pups: Flopsy and Mopsy!”
