Easter
My girls love holidays. Sunday was Easter, today is Tuesday. Yesterday (Monday) I was sitting downstairs when I hear a scream "MOMMY!" "What honey?" "WHAT HOLIDAY COMES NEXT??" I just started laughing and said "Mother's Day." No response. I guess that didn't go over too well!!
We had a great Easter. Went to early mass, breakfast at J. Christopher's with Mom and Dad, then home for egg hunts and Easter baskets, and relaxing. We did dinner with Mom and Dad, too, but it was just a nice relaxing day.
I have to mention all of the funny things the girls did leading up to Easter. They REALLY got into the egg decorating. And by really getting into, they literally GOT INTO THE DECORATING. I think if the cup was big enough, Meredith would have climbed in and bathed in the dye. She put her hands in so many different colors, she came out black. Literally, the color black! And I was really glad we were at home when she said that, because it was not a racist statement at all....if you had taken a black crayon and put it next to her skin, it would have matched. Melanie was a little better, but when she saw what fun her sister was having, she got kind of messy, too.
When we decorated eggs at Mom Mom's, someone said it was time to decorate eggs, and in a matter of about 3 seconds, Meredith had stripped down to her underwear and shouted, "Color eggs, time to get SNAKED!!!"
Melanie was pretty funny, too. She went to her friend Lauren's house and decorated eggs with sequins and all sorts of cute stuff that Mommy is too lazy to do! So that night in the bathtub, I found a sequin glued in her hair. She looks up at me and says, "Yeah, I accidentally glued a sequin in my hair." Wow....
