Ruby…

Ruby’s excited… or terrified… or something?
I asked her if she was excited about påske (easter), and she said she was. So I asked for an excited face, and this is what I got.
Ruby… whoa
2008 March 23 · 9:31AM · Sunday
I told her that it looked like a scared face, not excited. So she showed me what a scared face looks like.
C’s excited
2008 March 23 · 9:31AM · Sunday
Then, lest C feel left out, I asked him for his excited face. Yep, looks pretty much like C. :)

happy happy Ruby time!

Then I asked Ruby for a happy face. For Rubes, apparently, this involves some tongue.
C’s kinda fakey smile
2008 March 23 · 9:44AM · Sunday
And C’s happy face.
Ruby has so many different expressions, different faces, even different laughs.
C has only one. (I can almost hear a chorus of Reedies shouting, “One Good One!”)
One good one!
sad sad Ruby!

C tried to pick Ruby up and they both fell face first into the wall. Unfortunately it was Ruby’s face first.
C and Ruby found the eggs

Ruby’s already forgotten about smacking her face on the wall. Chocolate cures all.

Ruby examining one of the easter egg contents

it’s a sponge paint brush already saturated with paint — you just dip it in water and paint

I made little paper envelopes with pistachios and raisins. C also got a paint brush like Ruby’s, a pad of sticky notes, and a pencil sharpener. And marzipan.

Ruby checks out the sticker
2008 March 23 · 10:04AM · Sunday
I forgot, they also got foam stickers and tiny chocolate bars.
C considers the marzipan chicken
2008 March 23 · 10:05AM · Sunday
I can’t remember the exact quote, but so was excited about biting off the chicken’s head. Gross!

C feels the feather
2008 March 23 · 10:06AM · Sunday
I added a bunch of feathers to the eggs for fun.

The kids were excited to see easter eggs in the stores, and remembered last year when they got ones filled with chocolate and toys. So I got them a few little things and we had an easter egg hunt. I thought I’d hidden them pretty well, but C found them right away! I hid one under the sombrero, one inside the drum, and one (mama’s and papa’s) in the juggling ball basket. I couldn’t believe how easily he found them! He used to suck at hide and seek!
