I’m so excited because my family is coming to visit for Easter weekend. They are arriving Friday at lunch and are staying until Monday. Here are a few of the things I’ll be doing this weekend while they’re here. 
On a side note, I won’t be very visible this weekend. I’ll try and pop around to say hi to everyone though.

2. Have some wine. I’m not a big drinker, but this has been a busy week at work and next week will be worse. For this weekend I plan on sitting back, relaxing and enjoying a glass of wine with my family. 3. Play with my niece and nephew. I don’t get to see them very often so I can’t wait to see how much they’ve grown. Plus my girls are really excited to have them staying over. 4. Hang out with my parents and sister. We haven’t really seen much of each other since my husband and I moved six years ago. Any chance we have to be all together is great. 5. Learn to knit! My grandmother is coming up as well. Every time I see her I try to get her to teach me how to knit. I’m slowly getting there. 6. Try and sneak some blog time in. A pipe dream I know. With everything going on I doubt I’ll even see my laptop let alone turn it on. 7. Watch Movies. Whenever my Dad and I get together, we always seem to watch movies. A lot of them. It’s a great way for me to get caught up on all the cheep movies I’ve picked up at the grocery store. 8. Eat. A lot. Enough said. 9. Eat chocolate. This is different thank #8. Everyone who loves chocolate knows this. 10. Hiding eggs. This is one of my favourite things to do. The only better thing is Easter morning when the kids go to find them. 11. Read. I’ll need a bit of unwind time at the end of the day. That means I’ll try and sneak a few chapters in from a book on my TBR list. It’s the only way to get that pile down. 12. Write. I know this won’t happen, but it makes me feel better to put it on my list. I’m thinking about writing. 13. Sleep. Because at the end of the day I’ll be really tired. Happy – but tired. |

Sounds like a great weekend with your family.
Hope you enjoy 300 and good luck with the knitting!
Happy Easter! Looks like you’re going to have a wonderful weekend, have fun!
My TT is about oracle carddecks.
Hope you have a FABULOUS visit with your family, Christine. They sound like a terrific bunch.
And good luck with the knitting… I never found the patience for it because it’s not a multi-task sort of thing. And by that I mean, I can’t read while I do it!
Sounds like you’ve got a really great relationship with your family, and for that, I’m envious.
Have a great weekend with them! The world won’t stop if you don’t get to write or blog surf, but we’ll all miss you! We’ll just have to comfort ourselves with thoughts of the inspirations you’re probably coming up with.
Sounds good to me!
I’m going to try to go to my parents’ Easter production at their church on Saturday night.. I’m just not excited about driving an hour there and back in the same night.
I love #12.
Always keep your hand in it. If you can’t even THINK about writing then you’re not likely to be actually writing anytime soon, right?

Have a great weekend, Christine!
And let me know how the knitting goes!!
Hi! That’s a nice list and this is a nice blog! I would have to agree that playing with nieces and nephews are really fun. You get to see how happy they are and hear them laugh. You sure are going to have loads of fun this Easter. =)
Have a joyous Easter with your family!
Ooooh, I like your list. Want to trade?
Have a beautiful Easter Sunday with your family.
Happy Easter! I hope you have a great holiday with your family. And good luck learning to knit — that’s something I want to learn, too. There’s so much pretty yarn out there, and every time I see it I think, man, that would make a *gorgeous* sweater.
Happy TT, and thanks for visiting my blog!
Happy Easter. Looks like a great list!
Gah, Chocolate. I totally picked the wrong month to start a super-strict diet.
7-13 for me, minus 10, since we no longer do this. And I’d like 1 – but I have to wait
Have a great weekend!
300 is a must-see movie!
Happy watching!
I want to wish you a early Happy Easter! Sound like you’re going to have fun family reunion time. Just one of my favorite things to do *grin*. I hope you have lot of joyest fun spending time with them
Oh and am dying to see 300 too! *grin*
Have a good weekend and nice day! Happy T13!
What a great list, Christine! And, my goodness, of course chocolate is different. It is, after all, a foodgroup in itself.
Knitting is gaining lots of young new fans. My daughter plans to sign up for a class soon.
Have a wonderful Easter with your family!
I am so happy for you anticipating the weekend with your family…what a treat especially all the fun things you all do together. I was hoping to make it to my step-mum’s this weekend for the same kind of treatment and visit…but my boyfriend doesn’t have tomorrow off!? Can you believe it?
But from reading your list it reminds me how important to make the effort…I will plan a next long weekend visit!
Have a great weekend Christine sounds wonderful and so good for the children too.
Sounds like a wonderful, if very busy, weekend. Hope it turns out to be everything you’re looking forward to!
300 in IMAX?? I am so there!
I want to see 300 badly. I expect to hear about it.
Aaaaahh… 300! Half naked bodies… okay, and one totally naked one… Hm… it’s a great movie! Hah! Hope you can do everything in the list! Have fun!
Happy Easter and Happy TT! I am celebrating my 300th post today and my 3 year old blog! So the 3 is echoing all over the place!
Saw #1 last week. Both very good and slightly disturbing. I’ve just started a book that devotes a few pages to showing how in fact it should be the 298 Spartans not 300 but whats the odd spartan between friends? I’ll not say anything else in case I spoil it.
Sounds like it will be an action-packed weekend. Enjoy!!
Sounds like a great weekend. I would love to see 300, GB on Imax *drool*!
Happy Easter, enjoy your family and your weekend. Eat a chocolate egg for me.
Two of my sons saw 300 and loved it! You ahould have a great weekend. Teamouse has some good knitting links with easy patterns, dishcloths are quick knits!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, it looks like you are from Nova Scotia? We brought our kayaks up there last summer and loved it. I won’t take the Cat again b/c it’s expensive to have the kayaks on the car and after the trip last summer…….we will probably drive up and around.
Have a great weekend!
I’m losing track of my days…forgot it was Thursday so missed T13!
Sounds like you have lots of good stuff planned…Happy Easter!
I’ve seen “300″ 3 times…so far…
Enjoy it and let us know how you liked it. Is that considered leading the witness?
Sounds like a fabulous Easter plan. Enjoy every minute and have a wonderful weekend and Easter!
