That pesky wabbit
After Elizabeth woke up from her nap yesterday, we had a fun time dyeing our Easter eggs.
(Note to self: Never use the phrase "Say Cheese" when photographing this child.)
We put vinegar in with the dye this year, so the colors turned out a lot better. And, she's still really into stickers, so I made sure to get a kit that had some. Unfortunately, that meant we got the jungle animal Easter Egg kit, which was the only one at the store with stickers. That seemed like a strange combination to me, but Elizabeth enjoyed turning her Easter eggs into monkeys and tigers. It even came with a gray tablet, for those oh-so-traditional elephant-colored Easter eggs.
Last night, David and I participated in our church's Good Friday service. The choir sang an Easter Cantata and the children's drama team did the acting, as well as several other choreographed songs. It went really well. David did an awesome job with another solo/quartet performance. In the meantime, Jonathan earned the Big Brother of the Year award by babysitting Elizabeth 2 nights in a row, for both the dress rehearsal and the performance.
Since I managed to draw this week for singing on the Praise Team, which means I have to be at church at 7:45am on Sunday, the Easter Bunny decided to make an early visit to our house last night.
Of course, Elizabeth didn't know the difference, and Jonathan played along because he got candy out of the deal.
Elizabeth was incredibly excited to get a new Dora umbrella, and is already talking about taking it to Cousin Brooke's house next week. (She's wanted her own umbrella ever since Brooke got one for Christmas.)
Looks like we're now ready for those April showers!
To cap the morning off, we headed to church for their Easter Egg hunt. Last week, I pulled out a bunch of plastic eggs, so Elizabeth has been honing her egg hunting skills all week. Unfortunately, we made the mistake of always practicing indoors. The egg hunt at church was outdoors, and Elizabeth practically refused to participate because she had to walk in the "dirt" (a tiny patch that was missing grass) and the eggs were "dirty" (sitting in the mulch). Sigh....our little princess!
