And I thought my kitchen was the only place the F-word was used frequently. LOL!

As for my family's Easter experience. I'm not an overly religious person. But we do attend church regularly (or as often as I can get 4 kids up, fed and dressed and out of the house by myself by 8:45 on a Sunday morning. LOL! Hubby doesn't usually join us, but sometimes he does). I did by all the kids new clothes for Easter (but of course to be worn for the rest of the year). And I probably did spend $60 total on basket stuff for 4 kids. Contents of these baskets were each a chocolate bunny (the $1.00 kind), some GOOD chocolate (and by good chocolate, I mean mini reese's cups, mini twix, snickers, kit kats. I will not by the cheaper chocolate because I'M the one that raids the baskets while the kids are at school so I get what I want. LOL!). Each got a book (little golden books for the boys, chapter books for the girls), and a movie for the whole family (Happy Feet, which I was disappointed in).

the kids and I dyed eggs on Saturday night, and after they went to bed EB hid them (which included hiding around my snoring husband on the sofa). Kids woke up, found the eggs, saw their baskets, eat breakfast, dressed and off to church. After church we had a pot luck brunch at the church. Then we usually go to an aunt and uncles house for a pot luck/cookout and egg hunt with about 50-75 close family members and friends (and that is a normal sized gathering for my husbands family. We are a jolly, close, redneck bunch). But given the snow/rain/cold we had this year, it's been postponed til next weekend. But SIL and I did make a big Easter dinner at my MIL's house (she just had surgery on Monday and can barely get out of bed right now). We hunted more eggs over there and ate, alot.

We are total country hicks. Nothing is fancy, we don't wear Easter bonnets and gloves. LOL! But we try to celebrate Easter for what it is and spend the rest of it with family.

Sorry, your blog (I told you I butt in where I don't belong! LOL!). Just sharing what we did. I hate it when I go to the store and see all these big huge Easter baskets. Spend, spend, SPEND. Nope, I can't do that. A little something is all that's needed (kids are so spoiled these days anyway!).
