Be a Good Egg

April 10, 2009

Spring break has discombobulated my schedule...

With Easter approaching, so does the inevitable advice about how to make a joyous, mellow holiday into anything but a day of rest for moms.

For example, there's How to Have an Easter Egg Hunt at Home. My own plan involved shaking a few bags of chocolate eggs around the lawn in the morning (Dove dark chocolate the best, though nobody else wlll eat them, both a pro and a con); in later years I handed the bags of chocolate eggs to older children to disburse (half are consumed before being hidden, but these are eggs they formerly found first then ate, so it's a wash).

No age-related color coordination necessary.

Definitely didn't make my own candy Easter eggs.

Nor did I organize egg hunts for dogs.

Just call me a lazy bunny.

I jsut read abotu egg hunts where they dropped the eggs out of helicopters and caused a riot--among kids! Can you think of anything more stupid?

The Easter Bunny comes to our house. We don't really do the egg hunt thing, as traditionally it rains every Easter - and true to form it has rained this w/end. My kids are happy with what they get.
