I'm trying to get in gear for Easter and I feel like things are starting to come together finally!
Coordinated between local immediate family and family that lives in nearby town for us all to go down there for Easter dinner this year. We've often done this in the past but have missed the last couple of years due to misc. reasons.
Menu is all planned - I need to follow up with MIL and SIL here in town to make sure they are both all set.
I do need to decide what dessert I am making - which will be fun
It also falls to me to plan the egg hunt in the yard this year - so I've been slowly making progress on that. Bought a pack of 42 plastic eggs and some stickers, little bouncy balls, etc. and plan to get a bag of candy - maybe jelly beans? - to fill the eggs.
Of course I'm now thinking I need to buy more - there will be two kids hunting - my 4 yr old and one of his cousins that is right on that verge of not "believing" any more.
Do you guys think 42 eggs is enough for two kids?
Let's see...what else...Easter Baskets!!!
Instead of doing a basket for disabled little BIL this year we opted to buy him a new DVD instead. I have it - just need to wrap it.
For DS I have his Easter bucket from last year for collecting eggs on the hunt - bought new "grass"
For his Easter basket "gift" I'm going to give him the Pirate treasure chest gift I had intended to have done and give him this past Christmas.
I had gotten a chest like decorative box at Micheals on sale and have all sorts of fun things gathered/made to fill it. Just need to put it all together.
The last thing on my wish list - kind of random - is to make a little bunny mask of felt for DS and then get some bunny ears from the store too. I think it would make a cute picture -but we will see if I have time. I bought the elastic - just need to cut and sew the mask!!!
