[disney92]

We are going to visit my family on Long Island for Easter. We will only be gone for the weekend as my kids only have Friday and Monday off. Thats just enought time to say hi and still come home to enjoy a day home !!!

We hope to get to the movies too. DD would like to see the Hannah Montana movie and DS would like to see Fast and Furious!!!

Well what ever you are doing have a ....... HAPPY EASTER!!!!

We are just going to my parents' house for an early dinner. Not too exciting, but still nice (especially since I don't have to cook!! ). Both dh and I have to work on Monday, so not going away anywhere.

We are going to Boston for the weekend. Usually Easter dinner is at my house with the whole family, but it has just been so crazy busy around here we feel we need to get away with the kids. I'm sure the bunny will find us in Boston Soooo, we are going to the New England Aquarium and the Boston Museum of Science. Probably will grab Easter dinner at the Burger King at the Kennebunk service center. And I'm totally OK with that. Can't wait to get away with the fam.

To church Sunday morning. Hopefully Bob will feel up to it. So many people prayed for him during his surgery and now recovery, we want to thank them and give thanks to God.
Then...hunt for Easter Eggs. Not that my kids want to. That ship sailed a few years ago. Soo....I taped money to them last year! It's amazing what they'll do for a buck, and I enjoyed watching them race to find a $10.00 Easter Egg!
My older son is working..but he ought to be home around 5:00. Happy as all get out he missed most of the "fun"....


Not too sure where we're having dinner..either here at home or might pack up the food and take it to my parents. Either way, we'll be getting together with my sister and parents.. if Bob is feeling up to it. Kind of playing it by ear at this point.

My mom did the same thing until she got grandkids.

Our Easter will be at DSis's house. She goes all out with an Easter egg hunt and a big dinner. But DD needs to serve 8:30 mass (altar server) first. Of course she's going to be dragging her butt because we have tickets to a Nets game the night before. Boy is she going to be crabby by the end of the day.

Phyllis, that's too funny!!! Maybe someone should suggest this to MY mother. I would definitely hunt for $ Easter eggs!

Hoppy Easter everyone!!

If'n ya ain't at church Thursday nite (Maundy Thursday), Friday nite (Good Friday Tenebrae), Saturday nite (Easter Vigil) & 2 services on Easter Sunday (Sunrise & Festival), then ya just ain't a Lutheran!

By 12 noon on Easter Sunday, I'm just about whipped - so I crash. It's call the annual, traditional, Easter Nap!!!

By the time I left the office today I had completed bulletins for 6 different worship services (no 2 alike), and the large print bulletins for those same 6 services. My bulletins contain the entire service (music too) because so many members are elderly & find it hard to hold a hymnal for an entire service. It's a lot easier on first time visitors to just follow the bulletin rather than, flipping back and forth between a bulletin and hymnal.

I have taken Easter Monday off for many, many years. This year will be no different!

Holy week is an especially tiring time for those working and helping with the services. I know our Pastor was especially busy with Holy Week coming, we were so surprised he still took the time to visit Bob THREE times when he was in the hospital. God bless him,...and people like you Deb. I don't know how you all find the time, but rest assured that their are those of us who are very appreciative for all your hard work.
You deserve that Easter Monday nap girl! ....

Funny Easter-ish story. When we first got our trailer (some 9 years ago)..my younger son was 8 years old. Anyway, I made ...errr..I mean the Easter Bunny made the Easter Baskets in the trailer. This way there was no evidence of Easter candy in the kitchen or pantry. Smart thinking right?..Wrong.

Well, Easter came and went.
June came around, and my son was looking for a toy action figure. I told him to take a look in the trailer (which was in the driveway)...maybe it was over his bed in closet. Well, he didn't find his action figure but did find the Easter Candy. He came out of the trailer with the "evidence"...."What's THIS mom?" In an acusatory, I told you there's no Easter Bunny tone. Quickly, all I could think to say was.."Oh, look at that... the Easter Bunny must have made your baskets in the trailer".
My son didn't buy it of course, and told me "Ya know Ma...I KNOW there isn't some HUGE bunny hopping all around the world with millions of baskets hung out on his arms. (and he had his arms spread out, in immitation) I tell ya, all I could do was laugh. I didn't admit anything, but he knew by my laughter, and then he laughed too. He was a little peeved..but then I told him he could eat the rest of the candy..so he was good with it!
You would have thought at that point, with the cat out of the..I mean the bunny out of the bag, I wouldn't have to make Easter baskets. Yet...my kids who are NOT little kids anymore still look for their baskets Easter morning. Last year I didn't make them and just gave them some homemade chocolate bunnies, I swear you should have seen the faces on the younger two. You'd have thought the Easter bunny died.
They're gettin' baskets this year...

I hear ya Deb!!! I grew up Lutheran, and my mom has been nagging me all week about services!!!! Also, I remember many times during my high school years when we'd have "stuff" that week. My mom threw a hissy that the school would dare schedule something during Holy Week!!! (Oh and don't forget the outside Easter scenes) (Similar to nativity) that went on all week. So we each had a couple of evenings of playing some part of either the village folks laying palms on palm Sunday, or as folks watching the cruicifixion (sp).

Well, it looks like we're driving down to Auburn in a truck to deliver a TV and some furniture to my older son on Sunday, then all four of us eating out somewhere for dinner.

Jen, what's a good restaurant to eat on Easter Sunday in Auburn??

 

[RvUsa]

Know what we are doing this weekend?????
















I have wanted to do it for a long time...............
















It's been so long since I have done it..........................
























Wait for it...............






















WE'RE GOING CAMPING!!!!!!!

We are gonna go to a primitive and dry camp in the Allegheny National Forest, a place I used to go stay in a home made truck camper with my dad and granddad!!! If you saw the place, it's very pretty, but not that special, but it means so much to me

Have a great time John!

Carol, I feel the same way as your mom. My son doesn't have school tomorrow but his high school lacrosse team has practice. Bugs the heck out of me. He has a game on Saturday, and I think it stinks that when you don't show up to a practice, you don't play in a game that scheduled the following day. I think they could make an exception being that it's Good Friday.

 

[hopeisb4u]

i'm debating if i should go to the sunrise service that day at church to avoid the masses later in the day. Only thing is I work in my daughter's sunday school class, so i'd have to go back later in anyways...I dunno. My mom wants to take all of us (me, my daughter, and my grandmother) to a nice big lunch. then we'll all go our seperate ways...I'd love to say that i'd be relaxing, but honestly my sunday will probably include doing some laundry, and maybe cleaning the bathroom.

Have a Beautiful Easter everyone!!
