Oh how I remember my own sweet childhood Easters. The night before my head was giddy with the anticipation of the sweet riches the next day would bring. Also, I was little lightheaded from the Paws dye fumes. The next day, I tore through that basket engulfing every foil wrapped delight. I'd get so strung out on the sugar that I ran around slapping people's backs and giggling at nothing like my uncle on Christmas after a few Maker's Mark and Sevens.
This is the glory of Easter for a child: the one day a year you can act like a little drunk. Or maybe you should go easy on the sugar this year. Here are 10 great ideas for your kid's Easter Basket...
The full list of items can be found here. All of them can be found at common stores like Target and Joann Fabrics. Lots of good easter stuff, like easter-themed books and even an easter sudoku for that toddler who is so over the New York Times crossword. Think of all the easter-candy-rationing fights you'll avoid with your child. Personally, I wish my parents had maybe reigned in the candy on my Easter binges. Maybe I'd still be able to feel my teeth.
