Caleb, Cate, & Collin

Collin & Caleb (Caleb is one of Collin's best friends)

Ronni & Daddy after a long day of church. =D Cuddle time!

Collin wanted to take a pic of Mom and sis. I think he did a pretty good job for a 3 year old.

Gwyn is a neighbor and friend and sometimes brings her jeep over. Our kids LOVE it!!

At church we were encouraged to have some sort of link. I haven't figured out how to make this a link but if you're interested then click here. I thought this was really neat. A friend made it for me. If only I had the knowledge to make something like this. ;)

Here is a cool site. Its a live view inside an eagles nest complete with three eaglets.

What happens when you get a man in the kitchen??

Paul has decided that I'm getting a mixer... LOL!!!Yes, if you can't tell... that is a power drill attached to a whisk... lol!!!!

Easter Egg Hunt

Ronni finding an egg!

Collin kept helping Ronni, probably a little too much. He carried her bucket and would alternate who got which eggs he found.

Finally, I convinced him to let her carry her own basket and pick up her own eggs but as you can see in this picture he stayed close and was right there to help her. What a good big brother. ;) LOL!

The rest of our Easter week....

Okay... I got a little bit behind. Day 3 we talked about the Garden of Gethsemane but we didn't do an activity.
Day 4 we talked about the betrayal of Jesus and played a friendship matching game.
Day 5 (Friday) so of course we talked about the crucifixion and then we watched the movie Easter Dream (the church library had a copy). It left out a lot of the graphics and geared more for primary kids... yay!
Day 6 We made Easter story cookies and talked about the tomb. The cookies are the ones that you seal up in the oven overnight and they are ready the next morning.
Day 7 We talked about the resurrection and made resurrection rolls. When we were making the resurrection rolls today (pictured below) Ronni didn't really want to help. She spent all of her time trying to eat all the marshmallows. LOL!

Easter Week - day 2

Today we talked about Christ washing the apostles feet after the last supper. Picture above and below are parts of our "last supper". Above is unleavened bread and below is meat that I cooked. I soaked it in olive oil and garlic then skewered it and stuck it in the oven. Yummmm....
After we discussed the story I dressed the kids up (below). One of my little apostles (Collin) ate a chocolate cupcake leftover from yesterday's 'edible tombs' so he has chocolate on his chin. LOL!! His sheet was tighter so he looked more like an apostle than a caveman but he didn't like it so tight and asked me to loosen it thus... the caveman look. haha! But Ronni looks really cute!!! =D She even got upset any time the blanket fell from her head. haha!
Here is our feast: unleavened bread, salad, meat, raisins, olives, boiled eggs, and dessert we had some mixed berries. mmm...
