Our Easter festivities started off with the egg hunt at church. Tommy is Mrs. Liz's (the lady the girls stay with) son. Tommy loves to make my children cry and he is very good at it.
Saturday morning before Easter I finally got around to monogramming the girls' dresses. Nothing good comes of me waiting till the last minute. I accidentally let the bottom of Reese's dress get sewed to the monogram at the top. I slowly walked to the bathroom where my dear husband was mopping the floors, and right when I was about to let loose on a rant that would go down in history he reminded me of the true meaning of Easter and it has nothing at all to do with my babies having matching monogrammed dresses. He then proceeded to sit down with his pocket knife and fix the mess I had made. I want to say again that God knew exactly what he was doing when he made our paths cross back in 2005. Adam is the calm in the mist of my hysteria. I can always count on him to right all of my wrongs including, but not limited to my sewing errors.
After all the smoke cleared from the monogramming incident, we dyed eggs. Personally, I had no interest in having stained fingernails, so I opted for latex gloves. Reese tried them for about 2 seconds but they didn't last.
While we dyed eggs, Elynn caught up on her rest. She loves to snuggle her face up beside a pillow, or if somebody is willing to hold her while she sleeps, she will bury her face in their shirt.
The bunny came! They got matching swimsuits that also need a monogram, but I'm stepping away from the machine for a while or someone may get hurt (and it will probably be me).
She got fingernail polish and sparkle shoes. The more glitter something has, the more excited she gets.
She showed Elynn all of her goodies.
We then rushed around to get ready for sunrise service. Seeing how it was so early and all, momma needed herself a cup of coffee for the road. All was going well. There had yet to be an Easter meltdown... As Adam barreled through town like we were late to a house fire, he hit a bump in the road and my coffee poured down the front of my shirt. I never said a word, but Adam immediately said, "have I told you how beautiful you look today? You are just radiant. Seriously, and that vein that pops out on your head when you get mad is beautiful..."
After a wardrobe change for me, and a quick nap for Elynn and Daddy, we headed over to MeeMaw's for lunch.
Reese was much more interested in picking flowers than finding eggs.
That afternoon Adam took the top off of the Jeep and we went for a ride. Reese lasted about 2 minutes before this happened.
She woke up when we mentioned playing in the creek. (Anytime I allow her to pick her own clothes she goes straight for this dress. Even if it is 80 degrees outside.)
Shortly after that she broke out the nail polish the bunny brought. I adore that her feet don't touch the ground and she sticks her tongue out when she concentrates. I am going to need to be heavily medicated when these children grow up and leave home.
Our church did "Forget the Frock" for Easter. We, of course, we in Clay County and didn't get to participate. But, just so you know, everyone wore tshirts and jeans to church. On Easter. Does it get better than that?
