Today at Bible Study, the girls each got a bag of jelly beans from their teachers. They were so excited. (Until, of course, Ellie [right] saw how many more jelly beans Grace [left] had.) On the way home they were talking in the back seat while I was driving and after a bit, Ellie announced to me:
“Mommy, we love to share. We love to share so much. We’re going to put our jelly beans together and share them with each other. Isn’t that nice how we love to share?”
Yeah. Grace totally just got played.

Then after cleaning up from lunch I came upstairs to find this:
Quote from the kids: “Look, Mama, we’re farmers sowing our hay!” Clever. Who invented Easter grass? Because I am going to go their house and spread 286 pounds of it all over their floors and see how they like it. Or I’ll just spread it all over my father’s house, since he’s the one who gave them these Easter baskets. It. Is. Everywhere.
(Notice the pants on the floor of that picture. Now that it is over 65 degrees outside, my kids are once again trying to be nudists. Seriously. What is wrong with these kids? These are the same girls who – in about 10 years – will be begging for $200 jeans and $50 t-shirts.)
About Melissa
My little girl is always trying to be a nudist. Drives me crazy. So glad to know that I’m not alone!!
I love how siblings are always so willing to share someone else’s candy…my kids are the exact same.
I also LOATHE the easter grass. You’ll be finding that stuff for a year.
Instead of clothes, cover them in glue and roll them in the Easter grass. Then, both problems are solved.
BTW, have fun at Disney! Tell Mickey we will be there in a couple of weeks. Oh, and don’t eat all the $7 ice cream or buy all the $9 balloons. Thanks!
