Unfortunately we had no church to go to for Easter service on Sunday...we wouldn't understand a sermon in French anyway, but the only church anywhere close was a catholic church. The kids did have fun finding chocolate and painting eggs though.
Evan and Anna off to hunt for candy...
Elliot didn't waste any time tearing into a chocolate bunny while the girls were still looking for more.
The kids with their spoils.
Here is Elliot, busy at his favorite pastime here: watching tractors.
They started out painting eggs, but ended up having fun just finger painting.
They all had a good time and plenty of chocolate was enjoyed by all. It seems to be Anna's favorite food (she eats a bowl of rice milk with chocolate chips in it for breakfast each morning). That is one thing we've had to deal with on this trip...explaining, mainly to Evan, that just because other kids do something, doesn't mean she needs to do it. "No, we don't eat chocolate for breakfast" has been stated several times. Obviously anyone that takes their kid over to someone's house might encounter the same kind of issue, but it makes it much more difficult when you live with the other child and they see these behaviors every day that you don't want your kids to pick up (like standing in their chairs at the dinner table). So there have been challenges along the way, but Evan has been pretty understanding most of the time. For the most part, I've been pretty proud of our kids so far on our trip. As much as we complain about certain things they do that get under our skin, they really are good kids.
