We went to the arboretum yesterday when the weather was really nice and the girls danced to the band that was playing. I'm so glad we got outside because today (Easter Sunday) was pretty cold and rainy. The easter bunny hid eggs at our house overnight and the girls found them first thing when they woke up. Everyone behaved at a very pretty, but long, mass service, and we came home and dyed easter eggs. Yes - you usually do this before the egg hunt, but we ran out of time, so we did it today just for the fun of it.
SJ always makes us laugh with things she says, and today with real concern on her face, she had this conversation,
SJ: "Daddy, is it ready to color easter eggs yet?"
V: "I'm boiling them now, then we'll dye them."
SJ: "Daddy, I want you to be nice to the eggs, I don't want you to "die" them."
We of course laughed and V explained how "dye-ing" is different than "dying" and means to color them. I thought she had gotten it, but later she told me, "Mommy, we're cooking the eggs until they die, then we are going to color them." ...oh well.
