Jedi Mom Trick #7: the Lazy Mom Easter Basket

April 2, 2010 Kim Tracy Prince 4 Comments

How to make an Easter basket, the lazy mom way:

1.  Attend an endless string of Easter parties at school, playdates, and parks

2.  Collect plastic Easter eggs filled with candy or cheap plastic trinkets

3.  Come home with goodie bags full of more candy

4.  When kids are not looking, hide #2 and #3 in a bag in the cabinet until the night before Easter, and hope they forget about them

5.  On the night before Easter, dump contents of #4 into last year’s slightly bent Easter basket

6.  Hide some of the plastic eggs in obvious places

7.  On Easter morning, loudly announce “Looks like the Easter bunny came!”

8.  Drink some coffee

DONE.

    The only think that could make this better, is changing the word ‘coffee’ to ‘Colt 45.’
