Its Easter weekend for everyone else around us, but us. Yes, Dustin does get Good Friday off from work, but we do not celebrate Easter at all. We always get asked why not and I always respond first off by saying we are not religious(we are Atheists) for one so the religious aspect of the holiday doesn't mean anything to us and the whole Easter Bunny just doesn't feel right to us as a family or personally to celebrate and partake in. We do not feel comfortable with doing it etc. And this is the same with Christmas as well. We have in the past gotten a lot of negative reactions when we did decide to not celebrate it and I think when we explained to them that it wasn't something that we wanted to do and it had no meaning to us at all they took it as we were saying there was something wrong with them celebrating it, which was totally not what we were saying at all. Its for us and only us. Who ever wants to celebrate it can, as long as they are happy to and enjoy it!
Anyways, so we aren't doing any major Easter celebrations or anything in regards to that. Tomorrow we will probably just take it easy and hang out around our place as a family. Do some cleaning and playing with Dagney since Dustin works a lot and doesn't get a chance during the week to spend time with Dagney this is a great oppertunity.
Saturday I plan to go to a local baby botuque store here in town to try their Sunshine Kids Radian XT carseat in our car to see how it fits and if all goes well then we will be ordering Dagney's big boy car seat. *tear* I can't believe we will be moving him out of his infant bucket seat soon and into a bigger one. Its crazy! But I LOVE the seat and can't wait to see and try it out. I am pretty sure that is the one we are going to be going with. It has a taller and thinner shell then most car seats which is awesome especially if we have another child and need to fit another car seat in the car too. His won't take up so much room. And it can be rear facing for up to 45lbs, which we plan to keep Dagney rear facing as long as possible. So the higher weight limit the better. And then I am not sure what else on Saturday? Probably going to buy some more Earth Balance(butter replacer) from Nature's Emporium which is a natural health food grocery store in the town just north of us. That place is amazing!
Sunday we have nothing planned so it will just be a wing it day. Maybe go for a hike if the weather is nice.
So that is what is in store for our weekend!
