Happy Easter!!! :o)

Nicholas has quite a few adventure stories from his Easter and pre-Easter activities, but unfortunately I'm low on time right now!! Hopefully we'll be able to squeeze them into a post later on this week... In the meantime, this is how Nicholas's Easter Sunday at church went...

Nicholas slept through the very beginning of church, but was awakened by a poorly placed speaker located directly above his seat where he was slumbering on Grandpa's lap. He continued to be relatively well-behaved for the first half of the Mass, but eventually the lack of a full nap began to catch up with him...

Nicholas: Cheerios!!! Book!!! Read it!! Mommy!! *irritable moving and fussing from being restrained too long*
Mommy: *gives Nicholas his juice cup*
Nicholas: Juice!! Grandpa!! Grandma!!! *irritable moving and fussing continues as he is handed off from Grandpa to Grandma*
Grandma (whispering): "Nicholas, be quiet."
Nicholas: BE QUIET!!!!!
Grandma: Shhhhh!!!
Nicholas: BE QUIET!!! BEEEE QUIET!!!!
Rest of nearby congregation: *muffled chuckling*
Mommy: Shhhh.... *grabs Nicholas*
Nicholas: SHHH!!! *laughs, throws his head back, and bonks it on the pew in front of us...crying ensues*
Daddy: I'm taking him out!!!

Silly Nicholas spent the rest of the Mass outside playing on the steps and eventually the playground still chanting, "Be quiet!" Only this time, he actually whispered it a little bit according to Daddy!!

Nicholas had a great Easter holiday and hopefully we'll have an update eventually...
