Busy, busy weekend.
Friday night after I got home from work, the fam, minus Blue, dyed Easter eggs. Fortunately, Blue had a decent nap and waited for me to arrive before loudly protesting that it was time for bed.
So we got really artsy and made some two-toned eggs. That's a mighty improvement from last year. And because I knew the weekend was going to be jammed packed, I knew I had to go get groceries if we wanted to eat at some point.
Price matched some produce and frozen goods and used twenty-nine dollars worth of coupons. You heard me correctly. $29 in coupons, because that is how we do things around my house. That's like a half tank of gas. Isn't that a shame? Half tank.
Saturday, it was an early rise and shine kind of morning. Little and I made resurrection rolls, but this year was different. She was able to follow the events. And the marshmallow was gone.
Then, we hurried to make it to the church egg hunt and picnic, which was a blast for Little until the Easter Bunny showed up. She waved at him, but that was it.
And then, she cried when she got in the car, because she didn't have her picture made with him. I guess she forgot about the ten minutes we spent trying to convince her to take a picture with Blue and the Easter Bunny.
Husband was so perplexed by the situation he finally said to me, "It must be awful being one of y'all." I think he was referring to us being female, which is why the Easter Bunny did not leave him anything.
Big Daddy and Baboo came over to give Little and Blue their happies and visited for a while.
And then Little decided that it was time to go play golf. So we headed out to the golf course. Husband played while Little and I drove the golf cart. Her favorite game is Leave Him. We wait until Husband gets close enough to the cart to put his club in the bag, I look at Little, and she whispers, "Leave him." We are both really mature for our ages.
After an exhausting round of golf, we headed over to Nona's for supper, and Little decided that she was going to stay with Nona.
The only time she has spent the night away from us was when Blue was born.
I just knew that she wouldn't let us walk out the door without changing her mind, but she did. And then I just knew that she wouldn't last until we got home, but she did. But I knew there was no way that she was going to sleep without wanting me to read her story or Husband to say prayers with her, but she went to sleep. And then I knew that she would not last all night, but she did.
And Husband was up and out the door to get her by 6AM. I'm sure he will tell you that he just wanted to get her home early, so she could enjoy her Easter basket before church. And we will all nod agreeably out of courtesy.
She had completely forgotten that the Easter bunny was suppose to come. She walked in and told Blue that she missed him while giving him a kiss, ignored me, and opened the refrigerator. I told her that I missed her, and as I was about to point her in the direction of the baskets, she informed me that, "I just don't want to talk."
Y'all it's hard being three.
But she perked up when she saw her basket of fun snacks, books, and stuff. And Blue got baby food, formula, and Orajel. I'll say that bunny gets smarter every year, because Blue cut his first two teeth on Easter Sunday.
And after church and a short visit with Husband's grandparents, we all went into a coma for several hours before planting the garden.
And Little woke up this morning with the stomach virus. Because what holiday is complete without a little sickness? So we sent the kids to opposite caretakers this morning.
