  • Ten things I learned during Easter

    March 26, 2008

    Posted in: challenges, family life, home life

    Brian and I babysat for his nieces and nephew from Thursday night to Monday morning. We had a great weekend but now I’m still too tired to think. I should have pictures up sometime this week, but for now, a brief list on what I learned during the weekend.

    1. Baking cookies is an amazing response to the “I’m bored” statement.

    2. Broccoli is mean and horrible and will be the downfall of children everywhere.

    3. If one discovers that a certain little Monkey is having a meltdown, bath time can very quickly rescue the meltdown participants.

    4. “The Lord of the Beans” is a cute movie the first time you see it. The twelfth time, not so much.

    5. “Did you put the lid down? Did you wash your hands? Did you turn off the light?” is a perfectly acceptable to chant at small children coming out of the bathroom. It is not acceptable to chant at husbands however.

    6. “Can I do that?” is a surprisingly unnerving question.

    7. I yawn more during a bed time story than the kids do.

    8. I have an amazing/terrifying ability to channel my mother as needed. (Example: You can have cereal or you can have toast but you must have breakfast or I am going to count to five and you are not going to like it when I reach five.)

    9. Adults are really the ones who over complicate things. As my niece Julie told me, “It is simple, really…”

    10. Yes, blowing out eggs to dye for Easter really is difficult. Yes, it does taste really bad. And no, you cannot do it.
