Happy Easter!
Usually we take a break from lessons during Holy Week in order to have time for Easter-related activities and church and community events. This year, however, all the events were cancelled, and we have standardized testing coming up (public school kids are out for the year here, but home schoolers are still being held responsible for all the usual things). However, we still got creative and made time for what Easter traditions we could manage. The church service itself happened via Facebook Watch as it has for the past several weeks.

Usually we decorate with fresh flowers, but the florist is closed.
This year we pulled out fake flowers from the craft supplies as
as well as making a few paper ones of our own
(finished products below)


The Easter Bunny (one of Daddy's bored coworkers)
 did a drive through the neighborhood to entertain himself and the kiddos. 

Bug made bunny craft kids for our preschool friends across the street.
They loved them! So cute!
We gathered for our traditional Easter breakfast: dyed eggs,
shaped bread, and candy!
Not Easter related, but here are some other happenings: Lion is still trying to figure out how to cope with the loneliness and sadness (we've had lots of good talks and snuggles). One of the highlights of each week has been the hymn studies the chapel children's leader has been posted every Wednesday. Because she is also tired of waiting, Lion decided to film a read aloud for a few of her little friends:

So, taekwondo happens via Zoom these days, but it's a frustrating experience. This week, the girls asked Daddy if he could lead them instead on the weeks he's home from work. Apparently it's a much more satisfying class--and it involves sparring! (the video doesn't feature sparring, but maybe I can catch that next time.)
