So this is where I start to freak out. I don't have a single thing for the baskets, haven't stuffed plastic eggs for Lorelai's party at school this week, haven't bought dye or even planned any time to decorate eggs, haven't thought up clues for the annual Easter morning egg treasure hunt...Oh my. And honestly, my work schedule is so busy this week I'm not sure if I'll have time to run out and shop. I really don't know what I'm going to do and I'm so mad at myself for not planning ahead.
And we literally just now (as I'm typing--Adam's on the phone) figured out who's hosting dinner. Thankfully, Adam's parents volunteered this year because as much as I loved having it at our house last year, right now our house is a total sty and our yard is a complete overgrown mess with not a flower in sight. So bad.
Andplusalso? Which dress am I going to choose for Lorelai to wear? Gah!
If only this were my biggest dilemma right now... Sigh. But at least we already have a dress for her, thanks to hand-me-downs from my sister!
I need to seriously get my butt in gear. Not cool, Becky. This is one of the holidays for the memory books (in my mind) so I want to make it special and memorable with lovely traditions and good family memories.
I hear ya! I do this with all holidays. I have plans in my head months ahead, then just never execute them!
ReplyDeleteSo glad I'm not the only one! :)
DeleteLove the dress on the left!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the vote! I'm leaning towards that one as well :)
DeleteI love the blue dress! :)
ReplyDeleteBut you are definitely not the only one - I keep thinking I have more time for Easter and every time I end up remembering - OH CRAP, no I don't it's THIS Sunday!! lol. I bought some plastic eggs at Target... and that's about as far as I got. And both boys are having Easter parties at school, so I have to buy stuff for that too as well as their baskets and we're doing 2 egg hunts... oy vey. I'm tired just thinking of everything I need to do. :(
All of that to say - don't feel bad! I think it happens to the best of us! :) hugs!
Thanks! Strength in numbers--I don't feel so bad :)
DeleteYou're not alone. I just got Boomer's dress last week, and I haven't bought a thing for her basket. Bad mommy over here. Thankfully we don't really do dinner, outside of the usual after church lunch with my mom. Very low key!
ReplyDeleteLow key sounds so nice, that's totally right up my alley. Have a nice Easter!
DeleteAhhhh this is so me! I just bought some Easter basket goodies two days ago, and that's all I've gotten so far. And if I'm being honest, probably all I will get anyway.
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for the pink dress! It's a tough call - they're both so adorable!!!!
On the plus side for you, Benjamin is still so young that he doesn't know any better, so you're good to go! I think I made a mistake by setting the bar so high for myself--now my boys know what to expect and what to ask for, lol!
DeleteI hear you on the weather and here in NY it has been downright cold. Seriously, yesterday it didn't even crack 50 degrees. Needs to warm up. This is why I like when Easter falls in April, because at least you have a chance for nicer weather! Those dresses are adorable by the way. Stopping by from Raising Imperfections!!
ReplyDeleteAgreed--if Easter had been this weekend instead, it would have been perfect because the weather was finally GORGEOUS! I hope it warms up for you soon! (And stays warm down here for us!)
DeleteI do the same thing for pretty much every holiday. Plan it in my head and do nothing until the last minute. Super cute dresses!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! So glad I'm not the only one :)
DeleteI'm your latest follower, visiting from the Raising Imperfection hop. You couldn't have gone wrong w/either of those dresses, they're both really pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
