Happy Easter

Yesterday Chris helped the kids color their Easter eggs.
Both kids really enjoyed this and amazingly no one was covered in dye at the end.

This morning I made Resurrection Rolls with the kids. They loved eating the marshmallows while I talked to them about the death and resurrection of Jesus. I dipped marshmallows in butter, rolled them in cinnamon sugar, and wrapped them up in crescent rolls. The kids were very interested in the process but they weren't thrilled with the product. The marshmallows melt, of course and the end result is an empty tomb that tastes like a cinnamon roll. Wesley said, "I don't want this" after he took the first bite. "I want one of the Easter eggs." So, the kids ate boiled eggs and Chris and I ate the yummy bread.

As we were rushing out the door I asked Chris if he could take pictures of the kids after church (I had to stay for nursery duty at 11:00). He said he tried to take photos of them but Lydia wasn't very cooperative. It looks like it started out okay.

Then it went down hill and there were several photos of Lydia trying to get off the sofa as Wesley tried to prevent her from doing so. Then there were a couple of photos like this one.

We had lunch with the Wrights today. I made baked mashed potatoes and Michelle made some delicious beef, asparagus, and salad. While the food was perfect, the children were not. They had a great time playing together but they struggled with the sitting down and eating with good manners part.

At one point before lunch, Wesley and Hunter both were sitting on the sit-n-spin. When Chris started to take a picture of them, Wesley stood up and tried standing on it. Like I said, they were a little crazy today but we all had a great time. (It looks like Wesley needs longer pants.)
