This week, the kids and I made Mother’s Day presents for Grandma. Because I lack the gene that carries on it the ability to sew, knit, or cut on a strait line, I needed something that didn’t require a lot of crafting ability.

In our family, we love to hunt for eggs and eat way too much chocolate and marshmallow bunnies during Easter time, but we try to spend some time focusing on the true purpose of Easter.

I think it’s the combination of dressing up like a superhero, loads of candy, and watching “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” everyday for a week. What’s not to love?
