The kids were off school for a few days in observance of Easter. On Friday we decided to shop since the weather was rainy. Shopping is hard work and so we made a lunch stop at Cracker Barrel. You'll always hear me say that I hate how they are growing up - especially so fast. But it's days like this that make me acutely aware of the wonderful times that are still ahead. We had a lunch with no crying, no bathroom trips and everyone ate. There was conversation and laughing and even manners. It was good.
We came home with the start of a spring wardrobe for each of the kids. I fear that this is a year where no one can wear any of their clothes from last year. They are growing but my wallet is shrinking.
There was no rest for the weary (that's me) once we arrived home. The kids were eager to color eggs and I suppose we had waited long enough.
Each year the egg dying process becomes a little less hazardous. We lost two eggs this year but we did not have to clean up any dye which I count as a win.
After the eggs were all finished and safely tucked back in the fridge to await the bunny, we snuggled up and watched the last half hour of a movie detailing how Jesus died. The kids were so into it and it brought an opportunity to enforce what they have learned in church and Sunday school.
Cooper had made this cross on Minecraft wed mess afternoon and then insisted we send it to his Sunday school teachers. If I'm not mistaken, there is an empty tomb that accompanies this now. It's good to know that what they are learning is sinking in or at least on their minds.
Today was a good Friday...but Sunday is coming.
