Easter Babies

Brigid had four Easter egg hunts this year. Four hunts. One at school, one at the neighborhood gathering, one at church, and one at her grandparent's house.

FOUR!

And yet, by the time the third hunt rolled around? She was still bypassing eggs that were lying on the ground RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER because she hadn't yet grasped the concept of the hunt. As my competitive nature was kicking in from the sidelines, and I'm yelling at her to JUST GRAB AS MANY EGGS AS YOU CAN AND QUIT LOOKING FOR THE PRETTY ONES!!!, I realized that, juuuuuust maybe, I was taking the church Easter egg hunt a little too seriously? Possibly? Probably?

I am a phenomenal example for my children, obviously.
 
Favorite Brigid-ism of the holiday (said with tremendous surprise and excitement after finding a golden egg at my in-laws' house): I always wanted to find a golden egg!
I'm glad we're helping her cross items off of her life list at such a young age...

  1. Oh my...Caitlin is such a cutie!! At least she only looked for the pretty ones, my boys fought on who could get the most and tackled each other when they found them!

  2. Haaaaaaaaaa...our daughters...Ry was only picking up the pick ones at first. She COMPLETELY grasped the concept of the confetti eggs though; I will have to email you the video.

    Love your sweet girls!
