It was really white chocolate pudding w/ laffy taffy pieces cut up to look like veggies and chunks of white chocolate was the most delicious chicken I've ever tasted. We joked that Ketchup now loves to eat chicken pot pie; only if it's this recipe of course since veggies never touch her lips.
On Good Friday, we made our first Easter Garden. We had a lot of fun and I was really pleased with how well it all went and then turned out. On Easter, the kids rolled away the stone to show the empty tomb. In the future, if we give ourselves enough time, we can use real seeds on Palm Sunday and hopefully by Easter we would see some grass growing.
Then Ketchup and Bounce wanted to add some characters to their scene. Polly Pockets and army men have probably never had such prized roles as the two Marys, an angel and soldiers guarding the tomb.
We attend church on Saturday nights, so we celebrated our Savior's resurrection early. The kids enjoyed dressing up. I really like Ketchup's new shorter haircut; she likes it too! I don't even have to fight her to brush her hair now.
The best part of Easter weekend is that the kids were eager to explain to their neighbor friend that Easter is not really about the Easter Bunny, but it's about Jesus. They told her about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. When she had questions they then had Ozzie explain in more detail. What a great Easter blessing! I am so proud of them and yet convicted at the same time that they were unashamed of the Gospel of Christ. I pray that I will be more like them.
