We had been looking forward to this one for a long time. Ever since we found out that April 3rd is Fish Fingers and Custard Day, the anniversary of when the Eleventh Doctor came on the scene to meet Amelia Pond as a little girl. You Doctor Who fans will know what I'm talking about. For those that don't, there's a scene at the beginning of the episode where the Doctor is trying out his new taste buds and can't stand any of the food the little girl gives him. He finally figures out what he wants is fish fingers dipped in custard and happily munches away on that for a while.
That part of the episode is not too scary for our kids (it's silly), so we let them watch it while eating fish sticks dipped in pudding.
Later, while the kids were munching away on Easter candy, Jeremy and I ate shortbread cookies with fruit filling, similar to Jammie Dodgers, another of the Eleventh Doctor's likes.
"I was promised tea!"
For Family Home Evening activity we had our Easter Egg Hunt. We don't like doing it on Easter day because we like to focus on the Atonement and Resurrection that day, but it's fun to do it as a FHE activity later in the week.
The kids each had an assigned color for their plastic eggs. Jr. Jr. is pretty good with his colors so that worked out well. He didn't go after the other colors, just his. They also each got to find some
hard boiled eggs. And they each got a chocolate bunny. Big for the older kids, not so big for the littlest.
It was a good family evening.
One other thing- Jr. Jr. had enough candy that he was running around the blue beach blanket that night after the older kids went to bed. Sometimes he ran, sometimes he walked. I reminded him that it was Fish Fingers and Custard Day, not Walk Around Things Day, which is today, April 4th.
