Earlier this afternoon, Jim and I were talking about raising rabbits for food. Kaden overheard us, and then asked his Nana- "why would they do that? Grow up a bunny and then shoot it and eat it? Bunnies are sooo cute!"
This evening, I overheard this conversation:
Kaden: Let's shoot the bunnies.
Jim: No.
Kaden: Why did you say no?
Jim: I don't like to shoot bunnies.
Kaden: But you said you like to EAT bunnies...

Kaden's favorite phrase lately is delivered while he looks you straight in the eye, and deadpans "I don't know what you're talking about."

Also earlier today, Jim asked Kaden to tell Nana we'd be leaving in 10 minutes or so. Kaden happily skipped off, and a few minutes later I heard Nana rushing around, so I shouted back "We're not leaving too soon." Nana said to Kaden, "why would you DO that to me" and then Kaden started laughing hysterically. It turns out that he had told her we were leaving "right now" and that if she didn't hurry and get her shoes on, we'd leave her behind.
May I remind you this child is only 4 years old?

Also, Grandma had all the grandkids who were around up to dye easter eggs today. Kaden was very excited- and did 4. Then went off to play. No decoration, just two blue, a green and an orange. Hey, that's Florida colors :) I just realized that.

I'm looking forward to the Easter season this year for a few reasons... one, I'm so ready for warm weather. Two, I'm ready for some hope and joy and resurrection. We went to Good Friday services- and I always forget how much it's like a funeral. Sigh. Here's hoping tomorrow's Mass will be joyful... while the resident 4 year old has it in spades, I could use a little divine inspiration these days :)
Happy Easter to one and all!

I've been feeling kind of blah lately too--stress, lack of sleep, etc. Trying to maintain some gratitude and optimism is a little hard to come by. This winter has been tough and I've heard MANY people say so- spring will be a welcome blessing for us all!!
On the upside, if you made it through this past winter here in PA, you are good to go my friend. And I know you had other circumstances that didn't help the recent move/adjustment to cold/adjustment in general.
Anyway--Easter has left me with the sense of renewal and I hope it has done the same for you! Kaden sounds like a pip for sure...we'll make some meet up plans SOON because I know that will definitely brighten up my mood--true story! Love and hugs :)
