Morning:
Hey! The Easter Bunny left something.
An Egg!
More eggs at Grandma & Grandpa’s!
And more chocolate!
And candy….
Josie and This Mommy look cute.
But eventually, things deteriorated. Noah came home, was so naughty that even his books got taken away, finally managed a nap, then got the dinner he requested and refused to eat any of it.
One lone not-confiscated marker was spotted under the couch. Oops.
Because I am a mean Mommy, I offered no sympathy for the tears generated by soap in eyes and mouth when all that was getting cleaned off.
But because I am not THAT mean, there are no pictures of, “Mommy, I’m cold.” Yes, about 20 minutes after bedtime, after stripping himself bare, including the diaper, Noah complained about the cold.
“Do you know why you’re cold?”
He grins and thinks a moment, “Because I took off my pajamas!”
Yes. That’s right. It is bedtime. Go. To. Sleep.
Right. Now.
Mercifully, he did. And eventually, so did his baby sister.
Now it’s my turn.
The days started out incredible cute. Also, photo journalistic style posts work for you guys.
What is it with the highs and lows of easter egg hunts? Jojo took a power nap from 10 until noon after having a most adorable early morning (and then quite an ugly meltdown). Ugh! I cannnnnot believe the marker pictures. UGH. Whew. How long until the next holiday? lol. Great photos, sweetie, of a gorgeous family!
Are you wearing pink pants?!?
“What is it with the highs and lows of easter egg hunts?”
If I had to guess, I’d say, in a word, SUGAR.
Reno, I don’t *think* sugar is entirely to blame. We regulated it pretty tightly, and the only massive overdose preceeded the marker incident by approximately 6 hours, 2 of which were spent napping.
Also? We are currently experiencing this as Noah’s personality. Non-Easter days are substantially similar. (Although markers have become a highly regulated commodity in our house.)
Yes. $9 pink cords in my new SMALLER size.
