easter

Easter weekend was nice. And simple. We hit 2 egg hunts on Saturday and had dinner with friends on Sunday. My sister, Lael came over to watch Corgan sing in church. We got to church when they were singing the opening hymn so all the other kids were already on the stand. He didn't want to go up at first but being a resourceful mom, I quickly bribed him with a piece of gum and he happily went on the stand chewing away. He sang his little heart out and even in the places where he didn't know the words, it looked as if he did because he was chewing the gum with his mouth open. ;) At one point I thought he was waving at me, so I waved back. He shook his head and motioned with his hands and with his voice that he wanted Blake to wave at him, not his mom. Whatever.
