I'm sorry klong11 that the meal was not what you expected. The whole thing wasn't. I'm fine if the food is different. I'm just used to there being an egg hunt for kids. If she wasn't doing one I wish she would have let us know so then I could have taken half of Cadence's over there for them to hunt. Even her 5 year old asked about eggs and they were all "oh you found plenty at the park the other day".

Weird, klong11. I don't understand people. If you don't really care to just people, why do it at all?

Re: Easter basket favorites, we got these animals that pop balls out of their mouth (can't think of the real name but inthekitty recommended them). And those bubble leaf blowers that guster said the kids loved. Basically, I just buy whatever you guys tell me.

Weird, klong11. I don't understand people. If you don't really care to just people, why do it at all? I feel like she just wants to be that person. The "host". She tries to make up the table and has music playing the whole time and...idk, I just feel like she's always trying too hard and trying to make people thing she's more important than she really is.

What a waste of time. Nothing says Easter like store bought fajitas and pretty much nothing else. Had I know she wasn't going to do eggs I would have done them. I'm irritated and mh just uses her house as an opportunity to drink free beer. I’m sorry you had a crappy afternoon. I would definitely plan something else next year.

Easter baskets were pretty limited this year - a mask each (Captain America and Spiderman), pinwheels, a couple of books, a character car (Blaze and a Roadster Racer) and new toothbrushes to go with their candy. The masks were a big hit - they love dressing up and acting like weirdos.

I just got a report from DH. No more vomit the rest of the afternoon and they both ate some supper. He put them to bed early and they both fell asleep quickly (which is not the norm). I hope they sleep it off.

My kids got dollar store toys and small things from the target dollar section in their baskets. O loved his little Spider-Man that came with a motorcycle. Z loved this little play doh ice cream cone thing from the dollar store.

The Kids each got a beanie boo, coloring book, small toy, and a few eggs with recycled candy from their egg hunt yesterday. Lol. They were happy with what they got.
ILs had a small egg hunt in their living room today and n spent the rest of the day wanting to rehide the eggs for us to find, and hiding them in the same spots over and over.
We’re almost home now. We had to stop for dinner and gave n the choice of McDonald’s or subway and she chose subway. Dh wanted McDonalds but she set him straight. Haha

We had brunch at my brothers this morning and it went well. Then the boys napped and we went to A's aunts. It's the least child friendly house but the boys did good. They had a huge Easter egg hunt and the boys had a blast. We went to ils after for their gifts. They got them each the Mack truck from cars. We have 2 more Easters next weekend. We have so.much.candy.

Sorry the girls weren’t feeling well. I’m glad you were at work and didn’t have to clean up more vomit. Hopefully they’re back to normal tomorrow.

H woke up with a low grade fever so I let him stay home to nap while M & I met everyone at church. When MH met us at my in laws his temp was 102. After his 2nd nap it was 103.
I took him in the pool with me for awhile and let him splash around. It came down to 101 before I left. We have to work tomorrow and daycare is closed so the kids are staying at grandma’s house.
I hate to leave him when he’s sick. But M promised me she’d take good care of him.

I present to you, M’s one liners from today.
At church:
M: they said Jesus Christ. Me: it’s okay. We’re at church and talking about Jesus. M: can I say it now?

Cs favorite toy was figurines from the Lion Guard. He took them to dinner and played so nicely at the table. Total win for $15. Aside from that he got The Little Mermaid movie and candies. I don’t go overboard for Easter. I feel weird even celebrating since I’m agnostic. ETA: yet I don’t feel weird about Christmas. I think it’s just become so commercial. I don’t know. I’m too tired for deep thoughts. A friend of mine posted this today, don’t feel bad. Jesus has nothing to do with eggs and bunnies. I feel like most holidays have a component that has nothing to do with religion (Santa clause as another example). I don't feel bad celebrating anything, really. They're secular if you don't ascribe any religious meaning to them, IMO. Except for less obvious ones like Palm Sunday or something. All Christian holidays are basically recycled pagan traditions that have been around forever. Also, my mom knew this, so growing up we were not allowed to color eggs and do some of those other things because in her mind, those weren't Christian, and we should not follow pagan traditions that had nothing to do with the religious observance.

The animal poppers and Flarp (fart putty) were definitely the biggest hits here. Maddie said, "So the Easter Bunny spent money at the store for this (the Flarp)?" I replied that he has his own store of toys to give out that don't cost him money. She said, "No. You gave them to me. You guys did all of it." At an Easter event the day before she said "I know he's not real" pointing to the Easter Bunny. 😟 My girl is growing up too fast.

When my eldest nephew figures it out I told him what my grandma told me "as long as you believe, you shall receive". He asked about Mickey and I told him that if he ruined the magic for his younger siblings and cousins that I wouldn't take him anymore. He's almost 22 and if you ask him in front of kids he still believes. He even taught his younger brother the rules.
