Menus have been planned, shopping has been completed (well, except for those darn rolls I forgot to pick up), eggs have been boiled.
Baskets have been located, brightly colored crinkled-paper "grass" has been purchased, chocolates in the shapes of sweet bunnies and lambs have been hidden in my secret hiding spots.
Beautiful dresses in lovely pastels have been chosen along with a pair of light pink slightly-high-heel shoes that are the teensiest bit too big fit just right according to daughter-the-youngest (its okay--I knew she was a goner the moment she laid eyes on them)
Rolls have *finally* been tracked down and now sit in a place of honor on the table so they won't also be forgotten for tomorrow's dinner.
After writing this a hashbrown casserole and a lemon tarte will be made. Those eggs will be dyed. Tulips will adorn the table and we will be ready for tomorrow.
This month I will participate in the Slice of Life Challenge!
My goal is to Write. Share. Give. each & every day of March.

What a wonderful scene of preparation... the anticipation invites your reader to take a seat at the table with you. :) The detail about the shoes being a tad too big, then crossed out, is just precious. Enjoy!
