Giving Ourselves a Break

The Peeps and I celebrated Easter 2010 with our usual family Easterly-type activities such as egg coloring, Easter egg hunting, attending mass and eating a home-cooked ham dinner with all of the fixings; that is, minus the green bean casserole Hubs and I forgot to make even though we purchased all of the ingredients the previous week. Like it was missed after all of the calories we consumed Easter Sunday, right? Exactly. In fact, we were having so much fun hanging out at the homestead enjoying a little bit of free time that green beans were never even mentioned once, a sure sign of a good time had by all.

So then what? Well, Peep Girlie made good on her promise to attend the weekly private cello lesson, during which time I caught up on some much needed reading of my favorite Chick Lit. Then it was time for SPRING BREAK to officially begin; and being all over the idea of sleeping in past 5:45 a.m. every morning for a week, I was almost first to begin the celebration by waking up promptly at 8:00 a.m. Monday morning. Now, if only the cat would've been clued in on my plan by not scratching LOUDLY at my bedroom door at 6:00 a.m. and again at 7:00 a.m., I would've found day 1 of Spring Break enjoyable. But no deal. So let me just say I was not amused with Smokie's antics and seriously considered a new plan called:

Sequestering the Cat Overnight Every Night for the Rest of Spring Break.

Still thinking on that one. Meanwhile, enjoy this fine photo of our Easter morning Krispy Kreme breakfast:
