Easter Egg Hunt

I have to point out the picture with Pierce's orange egg he's holding up. Pierce LOVES the color orange. As soon as he found that egg, he said 'mommy orange egg!' He can find the color orange anywhere. He was so excited when Jason left because he told him he was going on an orange plane (are there really orange planes?) . He told his teachers and everyone he saw the next few days that 'my daddy is on an orange' plane. When we play candy land he creates a separate pile for the orange cards. And any chance he can get he picks out an orange shirt. I think there is some connection to this and garbage and construction :)

Here are some cute comments he made this week...

Mommy does daddy have a bed in another country?
Mommy is daddy’s plane on the ground yet? (he asked this for the first 5 days)
Mommy when I get older I’m going to help daddy cut trees down.
Holt when I get older I’m going to babysit for you.

Mommy why is daddy in another country? (he asked this at least 3 times a day, he missed him as much as mommy did I think)

All week I've been building up daddy coming home. 3 more days, 2 more days, etc. So all day today I've been saying daddy's coming home tomorrow. So tonight when we got in the car after small group, I said, "Pierce what is tomorrow?" He said "Trash Day!!" And it is...just not the answer I was looking for.
