If you have good news you would like to share, I invite you to leave it in the comments section. Or how about writing a Good News post of your own?
Isn’t it Good News when all three of your children work together to achieve a common goal without fighting?? Such was the case this morning as mine hunted for Easter eggs . . . . at 6:50. We’ve requested that the Easter Bunny fill the plastic eggs with a quarter apiece instead of candy, and the kids LOVE it. I’m so happy that 25 cents is still enough to make them feel like they are rich as royalty!
Good News that Granny, Papa, and Aunt Linda are coming to our house today after church.
Good News that Easter service is an hour later today and begins at 11:00 versus 10:00 - an extra hour to sit around drinking coffee.
Good News that I decided to ditch the idea of a big Easter dinner and have picnic fare, instead. Nothing says Easter like ham sandwiches and potato salad!
Good News that I read THREE books in one month. I finished the last book of His Dark Materials (The Golden Compass, The Subtle Night, The Amber Spyglass). I wept like a baby! Lyra and Will really got under my skin, and I was sad to see them go. After all, they had been a part of my life for almost everyday for the past month. And, for this hopeless romantic, the last book ended in a most cruel twist of fate. FANTASTIC series (and not at all controversial in my opinion). I will be posting a review of the last two books in the coming week if you are at all interested in reading it.
Good News that I have so many friends who are supportive of my extended breastfeeding. I may grouse from time to time about how night-boobing is a bit disruptive to my quality of sleep, but I won’t be ready to quit until she’s ready to give it up. I’m all in favor of child-led weaning and really, Bridget only boobs (that’s a verb) when she’s tired. But for the past five nights, she’s fallen asleep without boobing. Woo-hoo!
******************
Have a great week filled with GOOD NEWS!

Happy Easter from Ham sandwiches and Macaroni salad.

I love your picnic fare idea! Easter is a low key event at our house, but that sounds like a fun idea to make it special…(aside from the egg hunt itself).
Our good news? Zach poo’d in the toilet by himself yesterday…but in his pants today. But progress is progress!
And I’d love to read your review on those books. Another friend of mine is reading The Golden Compass, so I think I’m gonna have to check it out.
Happy Easter!!!

I don’t know if I am missing it, but I can’t find the RSS button on your blog.

Good news indeed.
We’ve always done the money thing since my guys have allergies for food colorings. And yeah, it makes Easter and Halloween particularly difficult. But the money makes them happy and they can go and buy something that lasts longer than candy.

I think this is a great idea! What great news you have all around. I’m eager to hear how the weaning goes . . . I read you older post about weaning (It might be time to wean…). Hilarious!
Sounds like you had a lovely holiday!

Sounds like a wonderful pile of good news!
I have a hard time imagining that you’re not a wee bit sad about Bridget beginning to wean herself though. I was sooo sad when Max gave it up…of course, he was only 21 months at the time. I might have felt quite differently at 32 months, I suppose.

I think that a picnic for Easter (especially considering how cold it was here) is the best idea I’ve heard in a long time.
You already know my good news.
