Happy Easter

I wish I had remembered to bring the camera with me when I went to pick up Todd at school this morning! It was 11:30am and the kids were lined up to do an Easter procession, each class walking single-file up to a foam cross set up in the center of the play room. They carefully tucked in their hand-made flowers and then stood in a semi-circle around the cross. One little girl, upon spying her parents amongst the gaggle of camera-wielding grownups, broke from the line and made a beeline for her folks. That cracked everyone up. After the procession, the kids sang songs and finally, the head teacher led us all in a prayer. As usual, she instructed the kids to fold their hands and close their eyes.

I couldn't resist. I looked up and snuck a peek at Todd. And what did I see? My little boy with his hands carefully folded, and eyes closed... not just closed, but scrunched tightly shut, almost in a grimace! Hey-- he was certainly following instructions!

Afterward, we met Daddy at Cajun Kitchen for a delicious breakfast lunch (no, not brunch-- breakfast food at lunchtime) before heading home to clean up and trek down to LA for the weekend.
