Easter

Our Easter plans changed this morning and the kids and I found ourselves home for the day instead of traveling. I had a very productive day in the kitchen and the kids entertained themselves nicely with indoor and outdoor activity (all except Dorothy, who has a fever and is not feeling great).

After dinner I broke out the Paas Easter egg coloring kit. The kids had a ball! Dorothy and Clare colored the eggs so many times that some of them are brownish/greyish :). At first, Stephen was more enamored with the comic section of the newspaper which I spread on the table, but even he got into the fun in the end.

Afterwards we read the Easter story out of the Egermeier Story Bible. I am hoping we are able to attend church tomorrow, but if Dorothy is still feverish, I will most likely stay home. When I mentioned that to Clare, I said that would be OK because we could have our own church here at home.

She looked at me with a twinkle in her eye and said, "Yeah, and to make it really real, we have to have donuts!!"
