I remember a rhyme we used to chant when in elementary school:
Knock-knock
Who's there?
Big Bad Wolf!
What do you want?
Colored Eggs!
What color?
Then the person who was the Big Bad Wolf would start listing off all different colors until the color of which the other was thinking would run and the Big Bad Wolf had to catch her...boys never played that game!
There are over 200 colored eggs in our front and back yards today. They just seemed to magically appear overnight. Maybe it happened when the Starbucks Easter Bunny Delivery Service showed up this morning with coffee and pastries for breakfast (I just about typed breakfats...talk about a freudian slip-of-the-finger). Hmm...
Somehow K didn't seem so surprised to wake up to see eggs all over the grass. She knows what to expect. When her friends start showing up today, it will change. The Children's Hot Chocolate order from Buckies made her much more excited. C didn't seem to notice yet...he, too, will get excited once he figures out what is going to happen once the whistle blows at 12:30 today!

I'm so sad we missed it - especially with the good weather this year. Oh well, something to look forward to next year... Aren't traditions great?!
ResponderEliminarAnd you were missed terribly, too. K couldn't believe you all weren't here with us today. But she quickly got over it...until later when everyone left and she realized you had never actually shown up! See you soon, and Happy Easter to you and yours!
ResponderEliminarI remember that game.. It has been so long ago. I always picked blue.
ResponderEliminarThat's funny! I always went for "magenta" or "burnt sienna"...wasn't I just the Crayola kid???
