Easter Quotes of the Day

We were away for the weekend for Easter -- we're home, we had a great Easter, and I'll post photos sometime tomorrow. In the meantime I'll leave you with these two quotes from Easter Sunday 2007:

Owen, this morning, 6:30am, in the bunk bed in Massachusetts, his grandparents and aunt and uncle and cousin and twin brother and mama and papi are all gathered 'round his bed trying to wake him up... (he hates to be woken up)... Kyle has stumbled in dragging his own easter basket and is desperate for his brother to wake and see what The Bunny has done. It is total confusion in the room. Poor Owen has no desire whatsoever to wake up. I lean down close to his ear and I say as calmly as possible amidst the mayhem, "Owen, baby, the Easter Bunny came!" He jolts upright, his whole body seriously flips off of the side of the bed, and as he's literally leaping/stumbling/tripping toward the bedroom door in a totally dazed-and-confused half-asleep-but-body-in-motion-state he says loudly and abruptly: "WHERE?!?!!!!! WHERE?!?!!!!!WHERE IS HE?!?!???"

Kyle, this evening, 6:30pm, back at home in his chair at the dinner table, Owen is upstairs with Papi giving him a bath, Kyle's happy-as-a-clam-to-be-home-sweet-home, he's eating macaroni and cheese and green beans and quietly talking to me about his favorite part of Easter: Church. (no joke, believe me, I would not joke about this... he seriously told me at least three times tonight that his "favorite" part of the whole weekend was "church") Kyle: "Mommy, I go'd to church. I go'd to a big church this morning." Me: "Yes, we all went to church for Easter." Kyle: "Mommy, what was that man playing up there?" (I know he's talking about the organist playing the organ in the church balcony). Me: "You know! That man was playing the organ in the church." Kyle: "Yes. The organ. And there were very many people singing." Me: "Yes." And then... truly, I'm not kidding... Kyle proceeded to quietly and sincerely sing, totally to the correct tune -- "Christ the Lord is risen today, A-a-a-a-lle-lu-u-ia."
