The stake put on a Walk with Jesus. They worked really hard on it, but unfortunately, they scented the rooms so I couldn't go inside them. The kids collected little charms from each room.
My FoE friend came for lunch, she was down visiting friends, and I'm so glad I got to chat with her a bit.
Part of the reason she was here was for the 20th anniversary of Pride and Prejudice reshowing in the theaters. I took Lizzy and Charles to see it.
They have been talking of Mr Darcy ever since. Then we went to the egg hunt.
Lizzy drew a rabbit.
Teddy only picked up a few eggs before he decided he was done.
They took quite a haul, and then we had some yummy tacos from the taco truck. Easter Sunday came with some fun surprises. The best part was that Daniel was able to stay home with us. We went to church with Ron, which was fun, and then he came over for lunch and was accosted by the kids.
We dyed eggs.
It was a lovely day. On Monday, we went to see King of Kings.
Yuri's Night brought some challenges, but I prepared by getting all the space essentials.
Then I got the kids working on some space crafts.
Lizzy was invited to go to a "Mormon Prom" in Columbia with her cousins. She was keen to go, so I dropped her off on Saturday, and then we all came after church on Sunday to celebrate the Passover with them. Except for Daniel,who is the the throughs of an outage and working 12s. The group went mini-golfing before the dance.
The Theme was Tangled.
I heard a good time was had by all. On the way back home caught a glimpse a kite festival.
Teddy got picked up by his ears.
The program included scriptures and songs, and it was really beautiful.
The Sedar was lovely, though of course my kids ate the paper bones. Denise had made a wonderful meal. The kids asked for seconds!
Life never lets you sit for long! At least that has been my experience. So as Daniel shifted into outage, I shifted into high gear to get everything done. The youth were having a camp fundraiser, and since Henry was feeling poorly, (he has been fighting the flu and an ear infection poor kid) so he stayed home with Daniel. The older kids were waiters and Lizzy stepped in to manage the youth since they didn't really understand how to serve. Luckily she has been trained well. She met some fun people and had a great time.
Water boy eagerly waiting to refill a cup.
Daniel has started our garden. He was eager to get it going.
Daniel took me Back to the Future!
It was cool, they used a humungous screen to add all kinds of effects.
Daniel really enjoyed the show. It was neat, but I was surprised by how many songs there were. The actors were great, the performer who portrayed Greoge McFly was channeling Jim Cary with is limbs everywhich way as he moved. The singers were great. It was a fun night.
Lizzy got asked to Prom!
Ethan got her teacher in on the ask. She was so surprised! She has been working hard as Dracula in the student-led One Acts.
The plays were fun, The first one was a student-written about siblings finding aliens, the second was a tender play about a couple where the wife has dementia and they are trying to remember their first kiss. They were in greyscale, which was a fun twist. Then Lizzy performed, and the final play was about two beauty pageant moms. One was the win at all costs and we find out that was instilled in her by her mother, the story was so sad. The other mom had abducted her "daughter" and at the end of the play, she sent her to the police station to return her. They played it for laughs, but I found it tragic. Everyone's lives were a facade hiding trauma. It made me cry when the winner Mom revealed what lengths her mother went to to make sure she won. She clearly just wanted her mother's acceptance.
It was so nice of the Blacks to come watch Lizzy's performance. She got to keep her costume including the massive boots which she said were very comfy.
The next night, Lizzy, Henry, and I went to see Robin Hood at the Grainsville High School. Lizzy had some friends in it. It was well done and had several Shakespeare easter eggs in it. Lizzy picked up on a few, but I found at least 10. That was fun. I was disappointed that they kept calling their short bows long bows. I mean, come on, they are not Long bows! But I digress.
