Happy Easter

Well, Easter has arrived. The kids dyed the eggs yesterday ( 2 1/2 dozen ) and are quite proud of themselves. Peter Cottontail will make a visit to our home shortly with Easter baskets filled with goodies galore for the kids & then they will be hunting for the oh so vibrant colored eggs that have been hidden all over the place. Were gonna cook some steaks on the grill with some baked potatoes, some corn on the cob and then, of course....deviled eggs...lol Today is gonna be a beautiful day out & We are gonna enjoy it to the fullest.  My 2 older children have long been too old to get easter baskets and hunt eggs and yesterday when we were dying eggs, I was informed that my 10 year old is now "too old for that" but I have baskets for all of them. I make my kids easter baskets myself. I Just cannot see paying $25 for a cheaply made basket, a few pieces of candy and a dollar store toy or two with a few strands of colored easter grass and some plastic wrapping so I started making my kids Easter baskets myself as well as making some baskets for a few of my mommy friends that like mine so much. I'm currently working on something for next year that I am so very pleased with that I have patted myself on the back several times. I just wish that I could have had them ready for this year but if you knew me, you would know that everything I do has to be pretty much perfect and I'm just not happy with anything until it is. Anyhoo, I don't care how old my kids get, they'll always get an easter basket from "The Easter Bunny" lol I just can't help knowing that they will always be my babies but they are growing up soooo fast that when I'm told that "I'm too old for that mom", I just have to take a deep breath, hold back the tears, smile & kindly remind them that they'll never get "too old for a mother's love" I hope you all have a very safe & happy Easter. I Will be complaining about all the eggs we've eaten on my next blog post....lol
Love & hugs to you all
