JOY!!! My son (middle child) has decided to join us for Easter after all. He called in and took Monday off (maybe not the best thing to do last minute). His sister is working till 6 then will pick him up enroute to our new northern home. It is a long drive - after picking up her boyfriend and her brother - it will take her app 4 hours. I thank GOD that she does this. But then - he was always a wonderful big brother to her, especially after their dad left them.
I just hid plastic eggs throughout the yard - what a terrific spot to hide eggs! After Scrabble, Josh will help me hide the foil eggs. We have wonderful food planned - son even told me he was heading to Kensington Market to pick up deli foods - speciality cheeses, olives and a french stick. Perfect for tomorrow evening as we will have a mid afternoon lunch before Josh has to leave.
I'm a happy Mom. We bought this house with plenty of room for family - each of them gets their own room. I am so happy when all 3 of my kids are under my roof. I sure miss those days... (wait - didn't I always write here how I couldn't wait until Ashley was on her own??? - Ummm - well - when it happens - you DO Miss it!).
Wishing each of you a wonderful holiday in whatever way you celebrate it.
