Yesterday was a fun day for the family. I wanted to make Easter weekend fun for the kids so I spent three hours making egg-shaped sugar cookies and coloured icing and decorating them with J. Then I took both kids out to deliver them around the neighbourhood. First we went across the street and took some to our friends, and then the new neighbours who moved in because there was a little girl playing out front. We walked down the street to give some to our other friends but they weren't home. On the way we gave every child we saw an Easter cookie. There was a boy in the doorway with his father that we didn't know so he got a cookie, although his dad took it because he was afraid of us. Our next door neighbour got some too, and I sent some off to my sister so my nieces and nephew could have a treat too.
Today I was grocery shopping. Let me state for the record that the crowded grocery store and rude cashiers didn't put me in a charitable mood. I still donated $5 to a local children's sports team on the way out though. I was rooting around for change but I got fed up quickly because I was in such a rush to leave the zoo that sells food that I just grabbed a five dollar bill and threw it in the bucket. So I guess the craziness actually made me more charitable.
