Easter 2009 Video & Poem

(posted by roxx)

Up at dawn with spring allergy faces on,

Elizabeth preps dinner and says,

"Even with stuffy noses we're all still winners."

Roxanne shuffles laundry, asks if dogs have been fed,

filling cereal bowls, calling five kids out of bed.

Wondering whose dirty,

worried hot water will run out in a hurry, all scatter to dress,

hoping moms won't catch kids avoiding their mess.

Husbands about, wishing one would stop with the gym teacher shout!

We run out the door, complete with Easter dresses ready to tout.

All settled in church, we squish in our perch,

worshiping between, "Shushes,” as tiny one fusses.

Returning home for photos moms beg and plead,

finally everyone smiles and says, "Cheese!”

Easter dress is replaced with cozy cotton,

dinner's smelling yummy, time to dish up every tummy.

Grown up siblings act all a silly, while Elizabeth and Jonathan

prepare an egg hunt for kids hoping for beans made of jelly.

It's time to pack up and say goodbye,

we’re oh so missing you Easter Bunny, we think we might cry!
