Welcome to Aloha Friday!

If you want to play along visit Island Life!!

In Hawaii, Friday is the day to relax and take it easy. So why not take it easy on a blog post too – I will ask a simple question and if you want feel free to leave your reply in my comments!

Here is my question:

What will you do, if anything, to celebrate Easter?

We don’t have many traditions. I am hoping to color eggs this year (probably using last year’s unopened and unused box of egg dyes). In the morning, Hannah will wake up and get her Easter Basket and hunt for eggs. Later, we will go to Grammy’s for another egg hunt and a yummy meal!

We'll do the typical egg hunts. And we'll have Easter dinner at my parents home.

I haven't decided what we're going to do for Easter other than hunt for eggs. Maybe I'll do a dinner or something, I just don't know!

I'm hoping to color eggs. Last year we forgot all about easter. I think that happens to us heathen families! And Jacob will probably get a basket with candy he doesn't need (but can share with mommy who doesn't need it either!)

Since we are far from any family there wont be any family celebrations. Hubby & I will be on vacation, the camping portion of our vacation actually starts on Easter day, so we will be in the woods and I hope swimming in the clear springs :)

Nothing special. Today I picked up the "Spectacular!" DVD for my 7yo and the "Bedtime Stories" for my 5yo. I also picked up chocolate bunnies, peeps, and whoppers.

Oh yeah, we'll also be going to church. They're having an egg hunt for the kids in between services.

Wow, your Easter plans are almost identical to ours! Except we have to squeeze in brunch with my family and dinner with the in-laws. Busy day, but always fun for the kids!

We go to Sunrise Mass at the beach. There is nothing like watching the sunrise to celebrate Easter!

We met you in May of 2004 at the Humane Society. You were the only dog who could have cared less that there were humans walking around.  While all the other dogs barked and barked at us, you lay on the floor curled up and awake, yet quiet and uninterested.  We almost passed you by but after mentioning you to one of the employees they said you were a good boy and that we should take you out for a walk.  Once outside you perked right up and wanted to sniff everything and explore and didn't seem at all like the dog you were inside.  We were hooked. We agreed to take you home and took care of the necessary arrangements.  Your name was Champ because the Humane Society had picked you up on the side of the road, very injured in what they assumed was a fight with another dog.  We were told you were maybe two years old at most.  The Humane Society fixed you up and you healed like a, well, like a champ.  We decided to rename you Baxter. We brought you h...

I’m more than just a stay at home mom.  I read. (see, the stack has grown since last time I showed this picture) I watch television. I exercise. I floss every day.  I go out with girlfriends. I spend time with my husband. I pay attention to current events.  I enjoy cooking. I enjoy drinking wine. I enjoy cooking while drinking wine.  I love trivia games. And Boggle. I make sure most of the food we have in our house is healthy. I love music. I am silly. I am serious. I DON’T like to be scared (meaning that my husband really needs to let me know when he comes home unannounced in the middle of the day and just lets me come downstairs to find him standing there staring at me like a criminal because for a split second I was sure he had just broken in  and that is the ONLY reason I screamed bloody murder and about lost my lunch before realizing who it really was). I am anxious. I am focused. I like schedules and routines. ...

Except Death and Taxes and School Pick Up Problems

Dear you, Hi there! We haven't met so I thought I would introduce myself.  I am a mom of two, a fifth and a third grader, at the school our kids attend.  You might recognize my car, as you drive by it nearly every day when you pass me (and plenty other parents) 10 minutes before school gets out to park at the very front of the pick up line. In a spot that is not a spot. Genius!  I mean why should you get to school early like many of us other parents do and park appropriately in the pick up lane when you can just come nearly at the last minute, go around a line of 30 vehicles, and park in a spot that is not a spot? Why didn't I think of that? You probably have special circumstances.  I'm sure you think that NOBODY else in the pick up lane,  many of whom have been sitting there waiting for 30-45 minutes have ANYTHING better that they could be doing with their time. I especially loved the day that you were parked there and ran over to grab your child and...
