Jesus did not die for chocolate eggs

So as I sit here listening to the chirping birds interrupted by the light saber swishing sound on my son's Didg, I wonder...How can I get everything done before Easter? My mom always made Easter so much fun. Growing up I remember the elaborate baskets that she would put together for my brother and me. We would head off to the Glendale Galleria to Orbachs and go shopping to buy that perfect dress and white patent leather shoes. She would buy herself a pretty dress and a new shirt,tie and slacks for my brother. Everything was perfect...at least in my eyes. So now I find myself laying on the couch recovering from surgery, feeling that Catholic guilt. I didn't go to mass yesterday. I probably won't go today (1-3pm, very powerful but very long) and is the house decorated? Of course not! The bin of Easter decorations sits in the cabinet in the garage. Not a single egg is dyed. The baskets are not ready.
So it's now late Friday afternoon and all the supplies for the baskets are sitting in Target bags ready to be distributed. I ask Bryan for help and we arrange the baskets for our Goddaughter and "nephew". OK, now I can rest easy knowing that is done. I'll boil the eggs tomorrow.
Saturday morning arrives...I've taken my shower but I'm still not awake. I am boiling the eggs. Eggs are cooked and cooled and Ethan decides to pick one up. "Ouch..Hot" CRASH...there goes the not so cooked egg. Ok...let's boil them a bit longer. We dye them and they come out nice but the "rub-ons" won't rub on. Oh well...I tell the boys, let's go! We're off to Michele and George's for our annual basket exchange.
We had a great time the boys played and we had lunch and spent some wonderful time with the dearest of friends.
Sunday arrives! HE IS RISEN!!! We go to 7:30 mass with my mom. The boys are overjoyed that she is there with us. We head home, get on our comfies and relax watching "Alice in Wonderland". Had a simple ham dinner with potato casserole and rolls. When the boys, prompted by Alexander ask "Are we going on an Easter Egg Hunt?". I said, "Well, what is Easter about?" Alexander says "Jesus died for us" with Dominic quickly adding "he rose on Easter Sunday". I finished by saying..."Jesus did not die for chocolate eggs". And they left it at that.
