Easter? Already?

I swear I think the calendar is lying to me. It can't already be April. And Easter can't really be this weekend. Is it just me or has it snuck up on us this year? And that's saying a lot since it even falls late. But I'm so not ready. I haven't dyed eggs with the girls, and I'm not sure when we'll get the chance. I haven't told the Easter Bunny what the girls would like in their Easter Baskets. o_O I haven't bought the ingredients for our breakfast casserole or my contribution to Easter Dinner. It's...3 days away. Yikes!




I think part of my problem is that we haven't had our Spring Break yet. That'll come the end of this month for my girls. I'm so used to a week off in March - usually the week of Easter so that I have plenty of time to get some of this stuff done. But for some reason our school system moved it - an entire month! I think it had something to do with keeping the kids until standardized testing was done... Ask me again at the end of the month if I liked it a little later in the year.


Do you have any Easter traditions? I'm looking for interesting (and easy) ways to dye eggs if you've got any tips. Has Easter crept up on you or am I the only one?

I guess the easiest way is to use onion skins. Happy Easter!

Everything has crept up on me this year because of the accident. But I'm aware of Easter now. Just got back from getting a pedicure. I have no idea what I'll wear to church for Easter -- whatever fits I suppose.

It's been ages since I dyed eggs. I guess you could Google and see if you can find some different techniques.

My kids are grown and no grandkids as yet so I no longer dye eggs. We always had an easter egg hunt within the house that was tons of fun. Every once in a while I would forget where I hid one or two lol

I've never heard of the onion skin thing, Natalija...I'm going to have to google! Love learning new things. :-)

PJK, I should have thought of Pinterest - my new procrastination obsession.

And bling eggs! Baby Girl would love those.
