Early in our marriage I did a basket for my husband, but once we had a child, it was only kids. Growing up it was only kids as well, in my family anyway. We got baskets with a chocolate bunny, some smaller candies and usually a stuffed animal. We also colored eggs and had an Easter egg hunt. My mother in law always made each of her kids a lamb cake in addition to their Easter baskets.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10315880358125631734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3465676704962896504.post-61891159587441670982014-04-17T05:12:11.815-07:002014-04-17T05:12:11.815-07:00Thanks for finding my blog and leaving a comment! ...Thanks for finding my blog and leaving a comment!

My experience has been as I remember them though I don't remember what it was like when I moved back to Cleveland. For a while I remember though driving back to Jersey.. or was it Alabama.. could have been both, to renew my tags. Epiphany! I always assumed it was something in the water, I never considered it (attitude/world view) could come from being a Cleveland sports fan.

But I noticed that all of those cards (Angry Birds, Lego Star Wars, Cars, etc.) include some kind of add-on: an eraser, a lollipop, a temporary tattoo, etc. <br /><br />Is Valentine's Day the new Halloween or the new Easter? How many sugar-filled children's holidays do we need?<br /><br />Also, that is so sweet that you got a necklace from your husband!Lisa Chiuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09750693135688849345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3465676704962896504.post-49374450252268423902014-02-14T11:22:11.778-08:002014-02-14T11:22:11.778-08:00Now you've got me started: my eldest sister...Now you've got me started: my eldest sister's Easter basket had been my great-grandmother's.

And then, some time in the recent past, kids started to tape candy to said cards. I'd rather they taped quarters or something. ("Recent" being a relative term.) Back to the sweethearts: Roger gave me a lovely necklace this morning.

Already year late.<br />Middle of 8th grade, moved across country, didn't meet standards and held back. 10th grade, moved back, held back again. Had to fake age and residency to get a school to accept him as an over-age senior. Summer schools weren't enough, he was denied graduation and now has to pay for GED at 20. <br />Please prioritize education enough to keep kids on their normal age and grade track.w wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3465676704962896504.post-54020093075134085392013-05-09T16:26:37.383-07:002013-05-09T16:26:37.383-07:00Thank you, Lisa.
