We have had a VERY busy weekend! Meighan had 2 egg hunts (at preschool and daycare) on Friday. Then yesterday we went to our church's Easter egg hunt and then to the Easter egg hunt at the Nebraska Children's Home! She fell asleep on the way home, and after I brought her into the house, I also got a little nap! All that between doing the laundry. Last night I prepared the parts of breakfast and dinner that I could prepare ahead of time (shred cheese, chop onions, measure corn flake crumbs, etc.) and actually got to bed at a decent time!
This morning there was no Sunday School so Meighan came to church with us. She does pretty well in church but, then again, she IS only 3! Two very interesting things happened in church today (besides the fact that they had to use overflow seating in the Family Life Center -- nice problem to have!). Meighan got a little Ty Beanie Lamb from the Easter bunny. She took it to church and at AMAZINGLY appropriate times during songs -- like at the end of "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today" -- she would raise the lamb FAR above her head and hold it up for the world to see. I thought of it as raising Jesus up (since He is the Lamb of God). And she did it several times! I wondered if anyone behind us noticed that. The other thing that she did today was, while we were saying the Lord's Prayer, Tony was holding her and had told her earlier that it was prayer time. She closes her eyes and prays. When it was time to say the Lord's Prayer, she was saying the last words of phrases (that's about all she does of songs, too). I was watching her and her eyes were still closed and she was actually trying to say the Lord's Prayer along with all of us! Made tears come to my eyes seeing that! She's already learning to love the Lord! AND...she says AMEN! with GUSTO!
Following are some pictures of our egg coloring session on Friday night, egg hunts on Saturday and her in her pretty Easter dress. Enjoy!
PAINTING eggs is WAY better than dying them in a cup!

Hide it under a bush, oh no...!
What a haul!
