Another holiday....

Ok so what is it about holidays that pretty much guarantees your kids will be cranky and uncooperative? On Easter morning I got not one good picture of kids in Easter clothing. Check out these two examples:

Notice the lack of eye contact in picture number one and the facial expression? In picture number 2 we have the giant green passy that really sticks out among the sea of pink....otherwise all of her pictures would show a contorted face and wide open mouth!
How do kids this age know it's a holiday and put on their worst behavior? It never fails....oh well maybe next year I can get good pictures in Easter clothes.
On to the Easter egg hunt.....
Britain got to hunt eggs with one somewhat distant cousin. This little girl was all about Easter egg hunting. She was all over the place picking up eggs and running to find the next one. What does Britain do? He finds an egg and puts it in his basket and with much prodding from Daddy goes to find another one. After finding four eggs, he declares to all around, "I'm tired of eggs!" and proceeds to throw down his basket and take off running to the backyard to play with my aunt's little dog. What does it say about Britain that this dog tried every means possible to escape him and was seen shivering in fear at least once during the day? Britain is known for trying to love "too hard". His idea of hugs is to squeeze the object of his affection tightly around the neck!
Needless to say after spending quite a few days preparing for this big, yet disappointing event and having the usual family tiffs I was disgruntled too by the time we got home! Next Easter I think I'm just going to stay home! What is it about holidays?
