We started Saturday with coloring eggs, they were excited as always for about 15 minutes at which point they took a t.v. break. One hour later I had lay down the law and make them come and finish their eggs; 4 went un-dyed.
They weren't as excited when they went to bed that night, I usually have to pump them full of melatonin on holidays to get them to sleep, but they went down just fine. Easter morning however they were up at the crack of dawn whispering in their room wondering what kind of tasty treats were left for them; also probably wondering how a little tiny bunny could magically leave the whole world treats in one night. Or is it not a tiny bunny but a 6 foot creature that maybe they should be more afraid of than excited for.
Finding their eggs was much like dying their eggs, they were done half way thru; maybe I provide too many! The rest of the day was mostly relaxing, sitting around the house playing, watching t.v., and getting a few things done.
Grandmas house for dinner was nice as always, dinner was delicious, dessert was even better; maybe because I don't eat dessert that often anymore. The kids played ball out back and did their PaPa easter egg hunt. Each grandchild gets 10 eggs with $1 in each egg. I love the money thing, my kids need more candy like I need another diet coke.
The days events are done, the kids are down for the night and Erik and I are laying in our bed feeling that it is just not the same. Our little family is growing up and while some parts of that are great other parts, like holidays really suck. Maybe in a year or two we will have that renewed life, that excitement again..............
Happy Easter.
