The Family Sideways: Hoppy Easter!!

Hoppy Easter!! 3/23/2008 10:24:00 PM

So yeah, my kid's in a green frilly dress. With white tights and black shiny shoes. And she was the cutest, most adorable kid at mass this morning. So there. And look--even I'm wearing pink. What's happening to me?

Caroline did great during her first foray into the Catholic Church. I've been a little sketch about taking her just because of all the cooties out there, but, well, it is Easter. We were able to score a seat in the "mother's chapel" off to the side, and like any good Catholic, Caroline fell asleep during the homily. Like any smart Catholic, she stayed asleep until Communion. :)

But yeah, she slept on Daddy during most of the mass, and when she wasn't sleeping, she was so excited about looking around and seeing all the people that she was plenty enthralled and distracted enough not to start screaming. I was really hoping she'd do some hard core grunting with a huge squirt in the diaper when it was really quiet, but I guess she had gotten it all out before we left. Shame. She is just so good at what she does.

We went out to lunch after church, stopped to get a little Easter candy, and then we all had a nice long family nap this afternoon. Fantastic--I've been needing a good nap for a few days now. And then just relaxing for the rest of the evening, of course having some ham, potatoes, and peas for dinner. It was a great family Easter. Hope everyone else's was as good!
