Sun April 16-- Easter

Today has been, well...umm.... interesting.  Savannah woke up at 3am throwing up.  Before she went to bed last night, she mentioned that she didn't feel good but I didn't realize how bad she felt.  She continued to vomit until about 2pm.  Hopefully we're over the worst part now.  She seems to be perking up now & tried to eat some supper.

I took the other kids to church this morning & dropped them off w/ Larry & then went back to get them.  I've got pics from this morning in their pretty Easter clothes, so email me to see those.

After they got back home & everyone took a nap, we passed out Easter baskets.  They each got a coloring book, a crazy straw, a bath fizzy thing, a Christian book about Easter, a cross-shaped notepad and a chocolate bunny.  After they dug through those, Larry hid some eggs in the yard & they went out to find them.  When they came in, while they went through their hunted eggs, we did the Resurrection Eggs with them.  We asked them what each symbol meant & they did pretty good on those.  There were a few that we got some FUNNY answers to, but overall, they did pretty good.  After we did the Resurrection eggs, Larry read the story of Jesus's time on the cross & then His resurrection from the Bible.  Andrew was pretty proud of himself when he reminded Larry & I of a detail we had forgotten -- the earthquake when Mary went to the tomb to discover that Jesus was gone -- and then we read it & found that he was right!  Smart boy!

We ate supper after that & the kids are outside playing now.  (Well, everyone but Savannah!)  Before bedtime tonight, we'll do the Resurrection Rolls that we didn't get to last night.

All in all, we've had a good day!  Happy Resurrection Sunday to all of you, too!!!
