So between Passover and Easter we studied a lot about Jesus and his last week on Earth. We didn't break for school till the Friday before. It was an intense week for them. It was the first time I read straight from the bible about the crucifixion. I knew Izzy was ready for it. The Thorn has really stirred her heart and she took Easter in for the first time in a very different way. Mari was not quite ready but listened quietly. It's not like I wanted to put a damper on Easter, but come it's not about chocolate and bunnies. I wanted them to understand the heartache of Good Friday and joy in the resurrection of Easter and I really think they got it in a whole new way.

I came into their room one day and there was Izzy preaching....poor Mari and Josiah. They were ok with it for about two minutes and then they were over sitting still. She read the last three chapters in Matthew straight from the bible. I was so proud of her. I honestly didn't think she could read of it, but she did. She blows me away that girl.
Then we got around to egg dying and relaxing and enjoying our beautiful spring weather
Josiah was so confused about egg hunting. He kept putting the eggs back where he found them. Then he figured out there was candy in them...oh boy different story!
Hope you had a blessed Easter Holiday. We did...even without our family..it was beautiful time!
