Easter Sunday

Holidays that fall on Sundays pretty much bum me out anymore. Let's face it, it just plain sucks that I have to celebrate (or rather chase all three of my kids and care for them) by myself, all day long, since someone has to be in bed by noon for work. We make the best of it usually but sometimes I just like to wallow in my own pity party.

Actually Easter was great for our family. The Easter Bunny was really, really tired this year. Jax lost a tooth Saturday night so scrambling (haha) to get the tooth fairy in order as well as the Easter Bunny here on time nearly fried me, er the bunny.

After the egg hunt that produced way too many $5.00 bills, along with the tooth fairy money that was mistaken for a lot less again, the kids loved that the bunny ventured away from candy and brought them 3-D Crayola kits galore. They did get one chocolate bunny and few jelly beans but with orthodontist appoinments next week, the bunny thought better of all the candy.

While the boys played their video games Binky and Pudgie colored for a while and I got to catch up on more laundry.

We headed up to my sisters house for steaks and mashed potatoes, rather than ham. There was another egg hunt filled with too much money for all 6 grandkids, kite flying, some gin rummy for the ladies, poker for the men, running like wild children high on chocolate for the kiddos.... and then time to head back home!!

As always, we miss our daddy on these Sunday holidays but we always make it home for dinner with him!!!! Somehow, I got away with not dying eggs this year, not buying dress up clothes for everyone and not stressing over anything. Not a bad day at all I must say!!
