Happy Easter!
First, I haven't blogged about Kristen loosing her first tooth. It was more emotional than I thought it would be, for me that is. I waited 7 months for her little baby bottom teeth to come in and now they are falling out. I guess that's what happens when they grow up. She got a whopping five dollars from the tooth fairy and we took a trip to Five Below. After going around the whole store she finally decided on a stuffed animal...shocking!
I didn't do a weekly wrap-up last week because there really wasn't anything to wrap up. Monday we had a ton of errands to run so I didn't even attempt to do school. Tuesday found me sick and needing to go to the doctor. On Wednesday Lauren woke up with a fever and laid around most of the day not feeling well. I still wasn't feeling all that great so we took Wednesday off. On Thursday Kristen woke up splotchy from allergies of some kind. It was different than her regular eczema. I gave her some benadryl after breakfast and we did attempt to do school, but she was drowsy so we didn't do much. By Friday I just gave up!
He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.
Matthew 28:6a
We had a lot to celebrate this week! Our bible lessons this week focused on Easter. Not dying eggs (although we did do that) or the Easter Bunny (he did bring baskets), but we learned about the reason why we celebrate Easter and it has nothing to do with eggs or bunnies, but everything to do with resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ!
We started off the week learning about the Lord's Supper. We learned that Jesus wants us to remember all he has done for us. We talked about communion and the importance of it. On Tuesday we talked about the sad story of Jesus' death and also about the happy results of his resurrection. On Wednesday we talked about how Jesus disappeared in the clouds, but one day he will appear again to take us to live with him. On Thursday we had a little Easter party and talked about the different colors of Easter. Here are some pictures from our week.
Dying eggs....they were so excited!
Colorful eggs.

I printed off this Easter game online. The girls really liked it.
We ended our week with yummy brownies.
Kristen completed unit 5 and read another book. Her reading is coming along even though she doesn't like to do it. She is still doing very good with her math and she is sailing through her first workbook. Lauren is practicing staying in the lines and cutting. She is getting better. We did make it past the letter E sound and are on to F. I realized that to her the E sound (like elephant, envelope and egg) sounded a lot like F, so she was saying F instead of the E sound. I know...confusing, but we are finally moving on. Whew!
So, I will leave you with some pictures from this weekend. Our church had an Easter egg hunt, fellowship dinner and a magic show for the kids. Kristen and Lauren were so excited about the Easter egg hunt. I didn't get really good pictures because they were running around getting eggs, but here are a few that I did capture.
The Easter Bunny did come and leave baskets for the kids. Here are some pictures from this morning. We hope everyone had a very Happy Easter!
Kristen found where the Easter Bunny hid her basket.
She couldn't believe how big her bunny was. She told Paul he could have some.
Lauren found her basket.
