Easter Sunday
March 23, 2008

We began the morning with our annual Easter egg treasure hunt. This year Katie could actually read the clues, while Ashley followed behind with a basket to collect the eggs. Each clue would lead them to the next egg, with the final clue taking them to their Easter baskets. Candy in Hungary is pretty lame, but fortunately three and five year olds do not yet realize this, and if we can stay out of the US long enough, maybe they will never realize it! (On that note...Heather took a care package to one of her primary kids (11 years old), including a few Twinkies that I donated from my stash...serious sacrifice, I know! This family has lived outside the US for most of his life and when he got the package one of his first questions, examining the twinkie, was "What is this?"... I was embarrassed for him)

We watched "Jesus is risen" from the Living Scriptures and then got ready for church. In Hungary we take the Easter Monday off, so without traveling anywhere, we can actually just relax for once.

Quotes to Remember

We were in Munich and just checking into our Hotel and both the girls needed to go to the bathroom. We all ran upstairs to our rooms and they both bolted into the bathroom. They began to fight over which one was going to use the toilet first. They argue for a few seconds when Katie shouts, "Mom, which one of us do you want to pee their pants?!" (May, 2009)
We were driving home from church last week and I said something like, "We are going to buy a Toyota Sequoia". Suddenly from the back we hear our 4 year old, Ashley, pipe up ... "You killed my Father...Prepare to Die!"...somehow she confused "Toyota Sequoia" with "Inigo Montoya" from the Princess Bride! (May, 2009)
Ashley and I were playing a card game when she says to me, "pause the game, I have to go to the bathroom". This is when I realized the technology gap between my childhood and hers.
I asked Ashley what country she was born in (she was born in Canada). She told me that she couldn't remember, so I tried to give her a hint. I said, "you were born in Cannnn...". To which she immediately exclaimed in triumph..."CANDYLAND!!"
Katie woke us up this morning telling us we needed to get up. Heather told her that her head hurt and she wasn't going to get up yet. Katie responds, "But you don't WALK on your head, so get up!"
