So much fun in one little post?... I think so!!!
First time coloring Easter eggs! Grace Louise has been eyeing the egg dying kit in the cabinet since I bought it a week ago. She was super helpful getting everything ready, watching the little color tabs dissolve in the vinegar and then dropping the eggs in the pretty colors. Waiting was the hard part! We tried to make crosses on each of the eggs using a white crayon, but few turned out :-/ Still lovely and so much fun! 
Enjoying her Easter eggs...except the yoke.
Decorating the eggs with stickers might have been her favorite part... she loves stickers!
Continuing with our Resurrection Scene that we worked on Wednesday and Thursday... today, Good Friday, we put Jesus on the cross.
We took him down a few hours later...
and laid his body in the tomb.
We went through our Resurrection Eggs again, with the scene, and talked about the leather whip, the spear, the crown of thorns, the linen cloth, the nails in the cross... I could really see her making the connections using the pieces of the scene. Then again, she offered Jesus a fake hotdog that she found on the floor by her play kitchen and insisted it would make him feel better... :-/
Jesus will remain in the tomb until Sunday when we'll roll the "stone" away to find only grave clothes. In the meantime, she's been narrating other parts of the story, like the guard who keeps saying, "You can't take Jesus body!" in a really low, mean voice. Not exactly sure where she got that from!
We spent our afternoon with Miss Cindy and Grace Louise's new friend, Emily, playing in their (awesome, amazing, refreshing, beautiful) pool. These girls had a blast!
After swimming, Daddy called us to hurry home for a surprise... as if the day could hold anymore fun! She brainstormed the few blocks back to our house... What was the surprise? An airplane in the backyard? Could it be? A new teddy bear?
Ducklings!
And they think they've found their mama!
