"PEEP SHOW"
"PETE?"
"OUCH"
Wow...hard to believe this is Easter Weekend....two weeks early of course. What the heck is up with that? I swear, since I have lived in Indiana, I can't recall but very few nice weather Easters...this weekend is going to suck as far as temps go. Get this, here in Lafayette, for tomorrow...snow showers! Give me a break...I don't know how much more of this chilly weather I can take. The first day of spring was yesterday, but it as yet to feel like it.
Anyway, I have to finish my shopping this evening, for Easter Dinner...I plan on cooking a ham with all the southern side fixings....then, I guess we will have our Easter Egg hunt in the house...what fun is there in that? I have finished shopping for the kids baskets..yes, I make them for all four boys...even though the oldest are 14 and 17...they still like the baskets...the candy...the surprises I put inside. Hubby and I also bought new bikes for the two youngest boys...they are going to be so surprised. We don't usually go overboard for Easter, but last year...I was a shitty mom, and bought premade Easter baskets from Hell-Mart....they sucked and I was embarrassed after the kids got them....ashamed is a better word for it. I didn't do anything for the older boys last year, so I felt compelled to make it up to them this year.
I picked Justin up last night after work, he has Good Friday off from school, so I won't have to make that trip tonight. I won a gift certificate to a local Italian restuarant, off of the radio last week, so I make take the boys there to eat tonight, then to see Horton Hears A Who
....the little ones have been wanting to go since it opened last week....Can you believe that movie grossed $45 million dollars on it's opening weekend? Have any of you seen it? Is is as good as they say? If I'm going to fork over $50 to take them all to see it tonight, I want to make sure I am going to get my monies worth, you know?
Saturday is our day to dye easter eggs and I promised Max I would make an Easter Bunny Cake...I have never done one before, so I am not sure where to start....do any of you have a great recipe for an Easter Bunny cake????
Help a mom out here and forward one to me, K? Thanks, much....
Sunday, hubby's mom wants us to go to church....but, I don't think we will make it...I didn't buy the boys new outfits for Easter, because I figured we would be at home...although, Aaron does have a nice spring like outfit I bought him a few weeks ago for his spring pictures at school...plus, it will take me most of the morning to cook our Easter Meal...so, more than likely, we will stay at home. Although, I will read the Easter story (child like version) to them...just so they do understand what Easter is all about (they know...I just like to reaffirm it to them)..that Easter bunnies, candy, easter eggs are not the true meaning behind Easter...
What are your Easter traditions? Have you got the baskets made for your little ones? Do you do baskets? Do you have any Easter Bunny traditions? I make Easter bunny paw prints from the side of the kids beds, to the front door, to wherever I hide the baskets...so the kids have to follow the trail, to find their baskets. This year, I was hoping to have a scavenger hunt for the kids, but the weather doesn't seem like it is going to cooperate, my house is not big enough to have one inside...
So...here's to a Happy Easter Weekend with your family...hope it's great, relaxing and don't eat too much Easter candy!
Dixiechick...out.
