Following on from my school holiday letters last month, I thought it would be a good idea to do the same for the two week Easter holiday 😉 Just to lay down the ground rules lol
Dear Children
I am pleased you are looking forward to some time off school, however, to prevent any problems, I think I should share the following rules with you:
- You will be expected to get dressed each morning. Under no circumstances will every day be a pyjama day – especially when we are going out. Oh yes and when I’m at work, please don’t tell Daddy that you are dressed when you have actually just changed into a different pair of pyjamas. It not nice to take advantage of Daddy’s lack of pyjama knowledge.
- I expect you to help me around the house by doing the occasional job without the usual cries of ‘it’s not fair’ or ‘why doesn’t he/she have to do it?’ – If I tell you do, just do it.
- Please do not eat all of your Easter eggs in one go – we all remember what happened last year!
- Whenever we go out, the answer is No – you cannot take your Nintendo DS.
- You may not have three baths a day just so you can play with your bath crayons in the bath, and when you do have a bath, please remember to keep the bathwater in the bath. Our bathroom floor is not a swimming pool and we all know how mad daddy gets if he gets his socks wet 😉
Your lovingly
Magic Mummy

Dear Easter Bunny
I don’t wish to sound ungrateful in any way because I do very much appreciate your services to chocolate, However, I would like to request that you don’t bring more than one Easter Egg per child this year as the gifts you so carfully hid around the house last year ended up in a yucky brown mess all over my bathroom floor.
With thanks
The Mummy who has to clean up said chocolate mess.

Dear Snow
I have heard a rumour that you are planning to visit us shortly. Please be warned, you are not welcome and I do not expect to see you at anytime in the next two weeks.
Your seriously
The Mummy who will go mad if she can’t take the kids out.

Dear Sunshine
I am writing to invite you to come and stay with the Frugal Family for the duration of the Easter holidays – longer if you wish. We haven’t seen you in such a long time so it would be lovely if you could take the time to come and visit us.
Yours excitedly
A very pale Mummy

Dear Pillow
I am writing to let you know that the children break up for school today so for the next two weeks we won’t be able to see as much of each other as we usually do. It’s only for two weeks though and then normal service will be resumed
Your sincerely
Soon to be very tired, Magic Mummy

Dear Work
I understand that I cannot have every school holiday off work, however as I will be working throughout most of the upcoming holidays, you need to be aware that I will not be working late at any time for any reason – Even if a national emergency breaks out, I will be leaving on time.
My little bundles of chaos need me to leave on time so that I can do fun, exciting things with them. If this does not happen they will slowly drive their daddy up the wall, which in turn will make me a very hard to work with employee!
Your sincerely
Underpaid and Overworked

Dear Glass of Wine
As ever, I will meet you in the kitchen by the fridge at 8’o’clock every night, although some nights we may have to move our rendezvous to the bathroom where a hot bubble bath will be waiting for us.
Yours excitedly
Magic Mummy
