Today’s the Big Day! Lexie has been counting the days until the Hunger Games release, and now it’s down to hours and minutes. It’s kind of fun to see her so caught up in the zeitgeist. (I wonder if this is how my mom felt watching my friends and me perform Grease day after day.) Have you read the books? Will you be seeing the movie? Look how happy the tributes are in this Vanity Fair photo. Isn’t Rue adorable, all snuggled up to hunky Cato? They have no idea what’s coming….
While we’re preparing for the insanity of the theater experience tonight, here are some fun links for you:
- A great list of candy-free Easter basket treats.
- Wouldn’t these nursery pillows (spotted on Say Yes to Hoboken) be a wonderful gift?
- A favorite Easter book.
- Rosa is featuring lots of great projects to do with the kids (including Will’s milk art project!). I think all four of my kids would really enjoy this one, and that’s saying something.
- Why you should bother.
- Seriously cute Easter DIY wreath made from cupcake liners.
- Imagine all the possibilities for these DIY cut-paper candle holders.
- Free Easter paper dolls to download here.
- I’m loving this song right now and I love that the lead singer’s as old as I am! You won’t be able to keep yourself from dancing.
Do you have fun plans for the weekend? We’re still digging this unseasonably warm weather. Do I dare pack up the snow pants?
In our spare time, we’ve been assembling IKEA bookcases and other bits and pieces for the girls’ room. It’s coming along nicely. But now I want to take a break from the decorating project and work on some fun things for Easter—these holidays always seem to sneak up on me!
Next week I’ll be asking for ideas on fun Easter traditions for new moms, so please come back to share your ideas (or pick up some new ones). Have a great weekend!
The books must be really good. I have a copy on reserve at the library. I will probably buy it before the library gets me a copy. I think I am number 657 on the waiting list!
we are so the same age. i bought the grease book which was basically a screenplay and memorized the whole thing. I would act it out along with the album, yes album as in a record;)
And the funny thing is that we had NO IDEA what was going on! In college, my roommates and I rented “Grease” and we were, like, what did we even think it was about when we were little?!?
Maggie, Tim just gave in and read Hunger Games. He whizzed through it in about two sittings. I think a lot of us are surprised that we like it, despite the awful premise!
Thanks Shannon!! Just back from California last night, and I’m catching up on all my blog reading! 🙂
