OT: Who gets the last word?

[Metal Maiden]

Tennessee, Colorado, any place but here.

I wasn't told about Santa, I just figured it out when 'Santa' gave me the things my mom bought and put in her closet. Now, the Tooth Fairy is another thing. My sisters told me. I had come down to visit my dad and lost a tooth. My sisters didn't think my stepmom would do anything, so they told me the truth. A few years ago, I think when my dad died, we were talking about stuff from when we were little and I told them how crushed I was to find out the truth. My mom was a little upset that my sisters hadn't told her. She said if she'd have know she would have done something.

I started getting very suspicious about Santa because he kept leaving brand-name stuff, but the elves supposedly made it. Then some kids at school told me. I knew the tooth fairy had to be a load, because everyone I knew got different amounts, and I thought it should be the same amount for everyone. That's why I asked for her autograph, and I could tell it was my mom's handwriting, with her right hand (she's a lefty). Figuring out the Easter Bunny isn't too far of a leap once you've nailed the other two.

You mean the Easter Bunny isn't real? I knew about the other 2.

 

[bRaTpRiNcEsS]

I don't think my parents ever actually told me about the Easter Bunny. I guess I knew what was going on when I started helping with the egg coloring, instead of them just appearing all done the next morning.

And one year, I was 11 or 12, my mom was still hiding eggs for me, and I didn't find one. She kept yelling at me to find it, but I never did. She forgot where the last one was. About 4-5 months later, we found it. Oh boy, did we find it.

 

[Riehlthing]

We'd always do the coloring, we'd leave them in the fridge and next morning they'd be hidden.

 

[bRaTpRiNcEsS]

Yeah, that was the last year she hid any eggs. Like it's my fault she put it on a shelf and covered it with a stack of towels and then forgot it was there.

I never got notes from the Tooth Fairy. And Easter talk already, I gotta start saving up, so this kids can get their little gift. We give the kids some things on Easter but nothing like Christmas.

 

[Metal Maiden]

We do the egg hunt outside and use the plastic eggs. We put money in them that way the ants don't find them before the kids.

 

[Riehlthing]

We did ours indoors...

And, the snow isn't stopping here...snowing, yet again. This blows, and it's starting to get windy too.

 

[DarbysDad]

The last one I did for the kids outdoors in the front yard. The back was\is tore up from the dog digging holes and me be lazy with the mower.

 

[Riehlthing]

Plus they might find some dog presents.

 

[DarbysDad]

Thats true. He leaves plenty of those.

I have to get through Valentine's Day, my husband's bday and closing on the house before I can worry about Easter, which this year happens to fall 10 days before my son's birthday.

 

[Metal Maiden]

Last year for Easter we had a very pink Barbie cake. We celebrated Madison's birthday the same day. At first when I asked Madison what kind of cake she wanted, she said a wedding cake. So I was going to get her a 2 layer cake with alot of sping colored flowers which was perfect for Easter too. But when I was ordering it she changed her mind.

Some years I hate that her birthday is around Easter, but it makes activities for her party easy. We color eggs.

 

[Riehlthing]

Today sux. I got stuck 3 times in our parking lot at work.

I try to make his birthday seperate from Easter. For now. This year his birthday was the day after, so I had his birthday party the following weekend. This year it's 10 days later, so I can get away with the second weekend after. And I just found a firetruck cake mold!

Too much snow or your car broke down?

 

[Riehlthing]

Too much snow...way too much. We've had 6" of snow just today plus what we had last time, and it's snowing harder than it was earlier this morning.

 

[bRaTpRiNcEsS]

Hmmm...that makes me want hot chocolate...since I'm already cold, even though it's 62 outside....
