Easter Treats from the Washington Post
April 12th, 2009 . by economistmomSome “goodies” found in my Washington Post “Easter basket” this morning…
Autumn Brewington’s story about the last Easter basket her mom filled for her is touching and also really encouraging for moms like me who have filled many baskets over the years with “just some little things” that we think/hope our individual kids will enjoy at the moment and ultimately–maybe many years from now–appreciate.
And the Post’s 3rd annual Peeps diorama contest produced these adorable and amazing submissions. Made me wish that this year I had once again bought those Peeps that never seem to get eaten. Art seems like a much better use for them. (My family has bad enough teeth as it is.)
And the First Family’s new dog was “unveiled” today in the Post. But apparently the Obamas aren’t going to be the kind of dog owners that Michael Schaffer writes about in his book “One Nation Under Dog”–according to Post book reviewer Jonathan Yardley. (And neither am I…just use the search feature on this site to look for posts about my (3rd) dog, “Roscoe.”)
