Know what I think?

Last night Madeleine was sitting at the kitchen table after bringing me her dirty dish.

"Know what I think, mommy?"

"No, Madeleine, what do you think?"

"I think little girls who eat all their supper, except for a few carrots, should get to have dessert. I think they should get to have ... chocolate for dessert. What do you think mommy?"

I think that if my almost 4 year old is coming up with this stuff already, I'm in trouble later on. We compromised and she had yogurt for dessert.

Easter Egg Hunt 2010

The annual Easter Egg Hunt down in the Amana Colonies was this morning so Madeleine, Christopher and I went down, along with David's mom and sister who are in town for Christopher's baptism. They had been forecasting rain for today all week but when we got up this morning the sun was shining. A little cold but it really was nice.

We got there and had time to snap a few pictures with the Easter Bunny and stop and pet the live bunnies they had.



They let the kids under 4 go a minute or so before the rest of the kids, so Madeleine was ready to start looking as soon as she let them go. We walked about 3 feet into the backyard ... and she spotted a little basket. Tried to convince her that maybe she could leave that one and we'd find another out in the yard but nope, she was done. Whole thing took about 37 seconds.



A rare picture of the 3 of us since I am always the one behind the camera.
