I have a confession to make: I’m not really good with all the traditions that go along with holidays.
I do the stuff that’s really important to me, but some of the other stuff I’m not so great at. Like pumpkins at Halloween? We’re lucky if we actually carve them. And (I can’t believe I’m admitting this) I’ve never dyed Easter eggs with my kids.
I dunno…maybe it’s just that we’re pretty crafty for the majority of the year, and being forced to be crafty on someone else’s timetable is tough for me.
So, yes, clearly an area for improvement.
Except that the kids are getting to the age where they’re taking things into their own hands. This morning Neko unloaded every egg from our refrigerator, got out the Sharpies and a white-out pen, and got to work. She enlisted Ellery, and together they created the most gorgeous bunch of eggs I’ve ever seen.
I’ve never been more proud of slacking.
