Easter Countdown!

It's Friday! It's Friday! and it is also the last day of school before Spring break! Woo Hoo! I'm so happy when the kids are home with me. I think I get more excited than they do :)  Although Billy has been home with me receiving the home tutoring cause of the stomach issue, we have no tutors next week and no schedule for anything except fun stuff!We have our party, two events at Church before Easter Sunday, and the we plan to go to the movies. Today, Caitlin's class is having a Spring party, and it is retro dress day as well so she is dressing as a 60's girl. I wanted her to wear a bonnet and a long dress and go as Laura Ingalls to which she replied "No."......oh well...she's very excited that her class is reading "Charlotte's Web". I'm wondering if Easter Bunny can find the cartoon for her Easter basket...Speaking of baskets...I went to Dollar Tree the other day and saw these adorable eggs:  

 SO sweet. Dollar Tree really has lots of good stuff for the holidays and for the outdoors. I sure love going there. Today I'm off to a few stores to complete my purchases for the "baskets" ....I have a few ideas for them to make them special. I still have my original Easter basket from when I was little. These are the candy containers Easter Bunny left me:

The first one he ever left at my house was the one to the far left and that one is my favorite. I received it when I was seven. I don't open them anymore because the plastic is wearing a bit. Easter baskets were always so much fun. I would receive two chocolate bunnies--one chocolate and one white chocolate, chocolate eggs, fuzzy chicks and the candy container filled with jelly beans. Oh yes, there were M&M's too, I believe....

The other day I was cleaning my bathroom and I accidentally knocked over a glass Easter egg decoration I had displayed on my bathroom sink...Sadly the lid of the egg broke. I am somewhat klutzy. I managed to salvage the bottom part of the egg and recreated it:

Then it joined the pack with some other bunnies:

Proving once again that new friends are easy to make!

Happy Friday!!!!!
