Good Day and Happy Easter! Today, was an eventful, stressful, Beautiful Easter day. As a mother you want everything to go so perfect on holidays...you plan out what you want your kids to wear, when to take pics, food to make, etc...and the opposite always occurs...well, in my household anyways. I was hoping to take lavishing Easter pics...but my girls were so rowdy today...yes, I said GIRLS and ROWDY in one sentence. Both of them happen to tear their dresses while waiting to go to church. crazy morning=one stressed out momma! All in all it was a good day...Kids will be kids, right?
Since church starts in the afternoon for us, we decided to do Easter egg hunting on Saturday. We hid eggs at the park, then the kids got to soak in the sun and cool spring weather at the playground. After that we had a family lunch at a restaurant (hint: we don't eat out much). Kids were excited and we just enjoyed our family day. It was fun....I love my family. I am LDS (Latter Day Saint) and we do FHE (family home evening) but we normally do it on Sundays before church. So since today is a SPECIAL day we talked about the TRUE meaning of Easter...and like I said it was a good day. My girls love learning about Jesus Christ, they were so well behaved and asked a lot of questions...no interruptions on this SPECIAL day. Not even my baby boy was acting up, he was just as engaged in the lesson as the girls were. I could not ask for a better Easter, spending holidays like this with the ones you love...I am all smiles here.
Every year I make the children's Easter basket...since I am frugal, I have a tendency not to buy traditional Easter baskets (all it does is get scattered and broken). I like to buy things that I know will be used...again. I was so thankful to have received these tin pails from my mom with a whole bunch of Easter craft-like things. In my girls Easter basket pail this year they received an outfit with handmade hair pieces and necklaces along with a water bottle and peg candy. My son received 2 jumpsuits and some shoes (finally...found shoes to fit his big fat feet). Also, this was the first year my girls did their own eggs...and may I say, they turned out fabulous...a lil' cracked on my part, but still so fabulous.
