Easter: that kind of holiday where you dress a little nicer for Easter Sunday at your church, and then spend the rest of the day eating and visiting with family and/or friends. Over all, an enjoyable day in, most likely, pleasant atmospheres, with chocolate, bright, colorful Easter eggs filled with candy, and fluffy bunnies and cute and cuddly chicks. Yes, you get to the end of the day, slightly stuffed from all that good food and candy, but also filled with memories of good times and friends and family. Yes...the dream Easter!
Now imagine, for a moment, an Easter void of all things Easter. Imagine sleeping in, having a late breakfast of bacon, eggs and pancakes, singing a couple of "non-Easter" songs, listening to a sermon on adoption, playing hide-and-go-seek, eating pizza for lunch, playing board games, watching movies, and taking walks in the rain for the rest of the day, and you have...
...my Easter! The reason for this horrendous outrage? :) Rain. Yep! Rain. Oh, and a creek that, when filled with rain, is impassible unless you have some form of helicopter, airplane, or hot air balloon.
"But, am I upset? No! Well...maybe a little..." But, I'm not trying to complain or anything. Actually, there were a couple of Easter things during the course of the day. For instance, I found Mom's "hidden" stash of Hershey chocolate kisses, and there were some chickens outside (well, they were wet...and not really cute and cuddly...but...they WERE there :). And, we played hide-and-go-seek! ...which I guess is a form of an Easter egg hunt...
Anyway, it turned out to be a nice, relaxing day at home. Not your typical Easter, but still nice!
Hope you all had great Easters!!
Your Easter sounds perfect!!! :) Although I do hope the water goes down in your creek so you can get out! :)
ReplyDeletesounds like you had a great Easter! Sounds kinda like mine actually--not exactly a "typical" Easter, but then who can say what typical is, exactly? :)
ReplyDeleteThat is true..."typical" depends on the person. I guess that's just my definition of "typical!" :)
ReplyDelete:) well at any rate it definitely sounds like you had a really fun Easter!
