A Good Friday

Christopher had the day off from school today and was very excited to head over to my parents house early to "work". My dad hired Christopher to help pick up sticks in the yard. Christopher was up early and ready to work by 7:15am. We raced over and Chris and Pepe went to the bank and then they worked outside for an hour or so. It was SUPER windy so they didn't do all that Pepe had wanted to, but Christopher worked VERY hard. He made some money and was very happy to go to the mall for lunch and look for something to buy with his hard earned money. He was very disappointed that he didn't find anything to buy. I tried to tell him it was a good thing that he didn't spend it, then he could buy something bigger and better maybe next time he saved a little more money.
Anneli went to Walmart with Meme while the boys worked. Pepe gave her two dollars for helping bring the newspaper in the house. As soon as we got there she saw a cute little white Easter Bunny she just had to have and she was lucky it costed $2.00--meme had to spot her for the taxes though!! All through the store she would whisper, "I want to get out." Then she'd turn to my mom and tell her, "The Easter Bunny wants to get out." The bunny was stuck in cardboard packaging of course. Meme told her that the bunny would have to wait until we paid for him. Every few seconds you could hear her tell the bunny that he would have to wait! Then she'd say, "Are we done yet, Easter Bunny wants to get out!" She LOVES making stuffed animals come alive! I love little kids big imaginations!
