Easter finery

I realize the holiday is long gone, but here's a pic of the kids all dressed up and smiling cutely. :)

Two short anecdotes to go along with their photo: The other day, I bought Emily a Disney princess purse because she desperately wanted something to carry around with her. She'd soon filled it with the following items: my old, inoperable cellphone ; some loose change; and an old container of eye shadow.
"Now I just need some receipts!" she said with determination.
Why? "So they I can crinkle them around like you do in your purse," she replied. But of course! If you don't have random trash in your purse, the effect is just not complete.

Now for a Jake quote: This weekend I went to a wedding in Austin, so the kids stayed home with Mike. When I called the house, Jake got on the phone and said, "Hi, Mommy. Say hello to your little friend."
"Um.... hello!" I said, not sure if I should laugh or cry about the fact that my son was quoting from Scarface. No, he's never seen the movie, nor has he even heard of it. But somehow, he knows that famous line. Kids today!

Your kids are so clever and it is fun to read about them. Is Mike as animated as you are? And I mean animated in a good way. They are developing unique personalities. Must have good parents, lol.

I too am married to a Mike and we both have dry senses of humor. Our son is quite "animated" too! Erin
