I know it is Friday and my kids need a break when not one of us gets out of bed even close to on time. I think we would have all been content to sleep the day away today. The good news for the kids is that next week is Spring Break. No getting up eary. No homework. No structure. We are all ready for it.

We are going to my Mom’s on Sunday to celebrate Easter. They have a large farm and it is the perfect place for my kids and their cousins to usher in Spring, look for Easter eggs, and spend quality time together.

We always have an egg hunt and my brothers do the egg hiding. Each of the kids has to find their own eggs - ones specifically marked for them - for example, my son may have to find only eggs with a green dot on them. My brother’s kids have celiac and can not have certain candy so this helps us make sure that they only eat what they can eat. It also let’s the guys know if they can hide certain eggs high, low, hard or easy.

Unfortunately I think it is going to cold this Easter, so the sandals, flip flops, and springy outfits might just have to wait for another day.

So, here is to a great weekend for everyone. I hope you get a chance to spend quality time with the ones you love and that the kids find lots of good stuff in their baskets.

Happy Easter!
