Since I have no children I most likely wont be coloring eggs or going on an easter hunt. But i should visit my parents and go to church with them. Would be the first time I havent gone to church on easter sunday if i didnt.

Here's a sneak peek of what my Easter Sunday will invariably look like:

6am - kids wake up frenzied, with a mild case of the shakes, having already snuck down and gobbled up a variety of candy from their baskets

8am - struggle to get kids into bathtub to rinse of candy coating that is NOT supposed to melt anywhere but in your mouth, but always does

9am - do battle with little girl tights and wiggly little girls' legs

10am - Easter Mass

11:30 - Easter brunch. I don't contribute - i just bring hungry mouths and grubby hands and no one seems to mind that I've forgotten the deviled eggs again this year...

1:00 - Easter Egg Hunt - done mostly in the hopes that dashing around will tire everyone out so I can squeeze a nap in there somewhere

I've been so good about not sneaking any Cadbury Eggs or Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs before-hand...the anticipation is building!

I thought about taking my daughter to the Childrens Museum...nope, closed. Normally I would do grocery shopping on Sunday...nope, also closed. I almost wish I celebrated Easter. I guess we'll stay home and watch TV unless the weather is nice (but it's looking a little cool).

I don't celebrate Easter but last year I colored Easter eggs with my niece anyway...still a fun arts and crafts project...

Let's see..

taking 2 year old son to the grandparents house saturday, surely to pick him up Sunday morning all hopped up on all the candy that he wasn't supposed to have, but they feed it to him anyways... to drive an hour and a half to my grandparents so my 80 yr old gdprts can have an Easter Egg Hunt for him.. to be followed by more candy eating... and I am sure he will pass out on the way home in his cute litte khakis, blue and white striped button down shirt with his little yellow sweater vest! Being 2 has to be really great!

We've been doing easter egg hunts with the little plastic eggs as long as I can remember!! I think this might be the first year we don't (I'm 24 and have siblings aged 27, 22, 20, and 17). Is it bad that I'm really sad about this!?! I hope we still have one... the past couple of years my dad's hidden a "golden egg" with a $10 bill inside. We are ruthless when it comes to getting the most eggs/getting the golden egg!

As far as the rest of easter, I just plan on spending time with my family, seeing grandparents on both sides, and eating a lot of candy I'm not supposed to have either. ;)

Oh, and I think meijer is still open on easter sunday, so Nicki if you want to go grocery shopping that's your place.

Just to make sure we're embracing everyone today, here's a crazy-long list of simultaneous religious holidays quoted from Time.com:

...on this particular Friday, March 21, it seems almost no believer of any sort will be left without his or her own holiday. In what is statistically, at least, a once-in-a-millennium combination, the following will all occur on the 21st:

Good Friday Purim, a Jewish festival celebrating the biblical book of Esther Narouz, the Persian New Year, which is observed with Islamic elaboration in Iran and all the "stan" countries, as well as by Zoroastrians and Baha'is. Eid Milad an Nabi, the Birth of the Prophet, which is celebrated by some but not all Sunni Muslims and, though officially beginning on Thursday, is often marked on Friday. Small Holi, Hindu, an Indian festival of bonfires, to be followed on Saturday by Holi, a kind of Mardi Gras. Magha Puja, a celebration of the Buddha's first group of followers, marked primarily in Thailand.
