Easter Week

We had a four day school week this week.  It was definitely a count down to some time off and some holiday fun.

We got summer clothes bins out and the kids were thrilled even though it was still chilly outside.  I let them wear whatever because we weren't going anywhere.  :)

Nathan actually asked to do some work this week and I was prepared!  I printed off a Frozen Pre-K pack so he worked on some of those sheets.

Friday, we were off school and that evening we went to our first Passover.  In our MFW curriculum this year, we are supposed to be celebrating Biblical feasts.  We did a few at the beginning of the school year and then we haven't had any for some time.  Being able to learn about Passover in a group was too good to pass up!  This is just us walking to the house hosting Passover:

We filled up a whole table by ourselves.  :)  The kids did a fantastic job listening and participating.  Lily got to light the candles and do the reading (there's a child's part).  Samuel found the Afikomen and sold it back for a prize--a movie and candy to share.  :)  They even joined in when it was time to eat the parsley dipped in salt water, the matzah dipped in horseradish (it definitely brought tears to Nathan's eyes, as it's supposed to) and then matzah dipped in charoset, which was a hit with all of us!  

Saturday, we got busy cleaning and getting ready for Sunday.  We, of course, took time to dye Easter eggs, though!

We can't wait to celebrate Easter tomorrow!  We'll be taking Monday off of school to recover from the big day.  Back to school on Tuesday with only 5 weeks left!
