Easter Weekend

Friday: The menfolk fly the model airplane around.

Saturday: The family spends a couple hours dislodging the model airplane from a very tall tree.

Easter Sunday: They fly the model airplane again, and also shoot off some bottle rockets. Because it's Easter, duh.

Noteworthy: My nephew is becoming way fun. He learned to say my name (sounds the same as when he says "Hi"). He's also a budding mash-up artist. When you add the sounds he knows to the words we grown-ups were singing, you get, "Jesus Christ is ris'n today, E-I-E-I-O." He's also arranged the Beach Boys. "Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, 4-0-9" has been simplified to, "Clip clop, clip clop, NINE!"

The original was a bit wordy, if you think about it. And surely two-year-olds are nothing if not economical.
