Day 118 - Big Turn Over

So we're driving right now to the Junior Bible Quiz tournament.  Josh is listening to the draft and I need SOMETHING to keep me occupied... so, I've been watching my odometer.  It just hit 150k and I took a picture of it.  My husband thinks I'm nuts that I'm entertained by this.  Oh well.

Day 117 - Miscellaneous Post

That's one of the words Tyrus learned how to spell today - miscellaneous.  I'm happy to report that he figured it out!

Day 116 - Homeschooling 101

What's one of the best things about homeschooling?  It can be done anywhere!

Day 115 - Easter Loot!

To honor tradition, our kids did an Easter Egg hunt yesterday between services.  Josh's family has always put cash and candy in the eggs, to that's what we did.  The kids made out like bandits!

Day 114 - Easter Sunday

After a lot of rain in our area recently, the Lord granted us a beautiful sun-filled day today to celebrate His ressurection!

Day 113 - Family Day

Today was lovely.  After so much hustle and bustle recently, we decided we just needed a "chill day."  After all five of us exercising together this morning, we decided to stop for dinner tonight at Culver's before heading to the church to clean it.  The kids were sitting together so cutely, I thought it would be a great "photo op."  Here's what resulted...

 

Day 112 - Baking Day!

Today, in honor of Good Friday, we made Ressurection Rolls!  The roll is the "tomb," the butter, cinnamon and sugar are the "spices" used to annoint Jesus' body which is the "marshmallow."  You then roll it all up really tight and bake as directed.  When you're finished the "tomb" will be empty, because the marshmallow sort of melts and absorbs into the cresent roll.  The "tomb" was empty, just like the real one was!  The kids loved this!  (Plus, they were delicious!)

Later, Alexis asked if she could bake something by herself.  So, a box of Jiffy Cornbread mix came out and she got to work.  She did a great job, too!
