Easter 2009

I took the "What kind of Mother are You" quiz on Facebook, and suprisingly it said I was a Suzie Homemaker. So I thought with Easter coming I would try to do some of the things "Suzie" might do with her kids. Saturday I bought stuff to decorate eggs with the boys. Of course, I had Walt take a picture because I didn't know if I would do it again. It wasn't that bad or that messy.




I went out and bought a few things for an Easter basket, which I have never done before and new ties for church. I also wanted to make sure that they really understood what Easter was about. Luckily our church isn't til 1 pm so we were able to watch a little movie on the Resurrection and explain that the bunnies, eggs and candy should not be the focus. I thought they had really understood this until the ride home from church. It suddenly hit Max and Ian that the Easter Bunny didn't bring them a basket full of toys and candy. I reminded them that they did get a basket this morning. Of course they said that the basket was from me and not the Bunny. So unlike a "Suzie" I said that there was no Bunny and to be grateful for what they did get or I won't do it again.

Overall it was a really nice day. We did have an egg hunt and spent time with Walt's family. Enjoy the pictures.
