Peep Show Three

This is the third time that the spring tradition of Easter Peeps has made it’s way into Friday’s Note. The first time Peeps crossed this blog, it was giving the annual statistics of these pastel marshmallow animal treats. The second time was a showing of the yearly tradition of the Washington Post’s Peep diorama contest.

This year the Peep Show is a little closer to home. Jill’s Aunt has adopted us for the holiday get togethers and this Easter was another chance for the extended family to see each other. The typical activities were enhanced by a family Peep diorama throw down. Oh, it was on, especially with me having extra down time after my little surgical incident.

So with out further delay, here are some of the entries from the Family Peep contest.

The spin on church by Jen and Bill Hoelscher.


Notice the communion host is the size of the Peep priest head.

From Alex Steele, an interpretation of her dance class.

Notice Alex’s little sister looking in the back windows as the bunnies take ballet lessons.

Reminds me a little of the Eat Mur Chicken campaign

I like the exceptionally clean look of the iPeep store presented by Marni and Nolan Brett.

I think the only thing that makes this scene unrealistic is that there are not nearly enough customers.

The royal wedding was put together by Sarah and Darren Brett.


I think those are Mardi Gras beads decorating the carriage.

Finally, here is the winning Peep Show entry by yours truly. Having that extra down time really helped when pulling together the Harry Potter Quiddich scene.

Even the golden snitch is a little ball of peep with hershey kiss foil wings. You can see it right in front of Harry on his broom with the Slytherin and the Gryffindor fans cheering from the stands in the background.

I hope you have enjoyed this year’s Peep show. The only unhappy person out of all of this was my daughter who wasn’t happy that she couldn’t eat the peeps due to the amount of handling, glue and random other things attached to the marshmallow treats.

Until next year, may your Peeps always be nice and stale before biting their ears off.
