“Here comes Peter Cotton Tail, hoppin’ down the bunny trail!”
Seeing as it’s Good Friday, I’m off work today – yippee!! We’re spending the holiday weekend down at my mom and stepdad’s house with one of my sisters and her fiance, and it is a much-needed mini-vacation. I now really think it was the wrong move on our part to forgo the warm weather vacation this winter, because it has made this seemingly endless cold season unbearable. And usually by the end of April we’d have a nice warm weekend for Easter, but no such luck this year. Mother Nature, I’ve got some choice words that you can stick somewhere…
But not even the cold and rain will diminish the fun of our Easter festivities this year, for it’s D’s first Easter. Unfortunately the temperature does prevent her from wearing a little dress (i’m sorry, but even indoors when it’s cold i get chilly, so i assume an 18 lb. person would too), but there’s no way we’re letting it stop us from coloring eggs and hunting for said eggs to fill our Easter baskets after the Easter Bunny hides them. Yes, the Easter Bunny. He still comes to our house, doesn’t he come to yours? đŸ˜‰
And you know how kids hunt for Easter eggs – see how many they can pick up after they’ve been blatantly “hidden” in the middle of the yard or room. I should say see how many she can scoot over to and roll around in D’s case this year. She is really good at picking things up, though, so she’ll probably get her little hands around a few. I hope she doesn’t decide to lick too many or she’ll end up with a whole color wheel of food coloring on her face.
Then it’s time for ham, fixin’s, and Easter baskets full of candy! Mmm…
So whether you’re celebrating Easter or Passover, the FF for this week is a big happy long weekend!
