Today I took off to clean. Of course that means I've been avoiding set tasks all day thus far, having slept in late (even the noisemaker slept in!) and being online.
I found some new blogs and designer websites with incredible inspiration... Here's image is from Kelly's Blog: "My Happy Little World". As Kelly asked: Doesn't this just make you tingle? Man I want to just go and pick up my notebook and write. But then, I'm here writing already, right??
Well on with my Good Friday cleaning. I made a to do list and have accomplished NOTHING from it -- and am contemplating bailing on it all together! I am so naughty! But I DO have to ready up for the Easter Bunny (EB).
We don't go to church, right? But we are God-loving people so we're celebrating Easter! Because I have the dedication to celebration for my child, here's my thought about the new tradition I'm creating for the EB...
We color eggs on either Good Friday or Holy Saturday. (Haven't figured that out yet.) The point of us coloring the eggs as a family is to have them out and available for the EB to witness that we're ready for him to come and visit us, leaving his super eggs (boiled eggs that're colored marble style or metallic and those plastic-filled eggs with candy). The key is: we have to find his eggs during a hunt on Easter morning. And once they're ALL found (yes me and Dad will have to keep count), then "we" get a wonderful bounty of Easter gifts from the EB.
What do you think? I am loving it but I can tell this won't last super late into childhood, but I am trying! :) We've gone WAY overboard -- particularly the Dad -- with the EB gifts. Plus, we decided to purge the gift closet and give the noisemaker all the gifts there so we can start anew. There's A LOT of honking gifts... I mean, MANY -- plus the new ones. We really have to scale back from here on out but you can only be a parent to a 28 month old Winter once!
