The other day Missy brought home a chapter book she had been skipping recess to write. It was called, "My Life in Egypt". Her name in the story was Zipporah, her father was Pharaoh and her mother was an Egyptsie. (You know, Mom...like a belly dancer.) (!) Her story began with her beloved cat whom accidentally bat her tail against the wall which caused the wall to open up to reveal a hidden staircase! Zipporah and the cat went down to investigate when they discovered a figure standing in the distance. It was an Egyptian boy named Zatnatpanaya. The story continued (I can't tell you all...you'll have to read it yourself...) and is now being further explained as Missy writes her second book in the series. Hmmm. An author among us. I could live with that!
Looking for Easter eggs was some afternoon fun for the girls. They both got new clothes from the 'Easter Bunny'. The night before Easter both girls acted excited about the Easter Bunny coming to our house. They quizzed whether or not he'd be coming. I told them he'd never come to our house before - he'd always ended up at Granma & Papa Bear's house so one couldn't be sure. Well, Sissy had quite a time trying to sleep that night. She finally confessed that she didn't want That Bunny coming in her house! ha!
