Holy Week....
Easter is one of my favorite holidays. I love that it doesn't have the *stress* of Christmas... and it focus' all on JESUS. I know Christmas IS suppose to... and we focus on Jesus' birth and all.... but Easter is just so great. ~smile~ Without the resurrection.... we would all be without HOPE.
I am excited with what I have planned for us to do this coming week. Oh do not think that I have it all together.... and lots of what I have planned may never come to pass but I have a plan. 
We will be doing an "Easter Garden" that I read about over at Holy Experience. Even if you do not do this take a look at the pictures she has posted because they are beautiful. I shared her blog entry with two friends and they too will be making their Easter Garden (isn't this blogsphere great~ how we learn & encourage one another?).
We will also be reading Nicole Piper's devotions during this coming Holy Week. The children and I still need to get an old branch and put it in an old pot.... each day we will hang our *pretty* eggs on it and talk about LIFE that Jesus gives. We have several books that we will use during this time of year. We will read them daily.
We have had about ten inches of rain (in Georgia) the past week... but today the sun is out. It is so nice. My children WANT to be outside... enjoying it. Several of the schools were cancelled in our area due to so much rain. We are plugging along with our Heart of Dakota. I am so thankful for the awesome gift to teach my children at home.
Just to let you know..... even though my intentions are good.... that little *project* I was going to do with the children... making the edible bird nest? Well, I STILL have not made it. OH I bought the supplies .... and thought I would. I still THINK I will...... we will see.

Teena,
Just checking in. We're all sick here. I'm on my way to being well again I think. Have to make the trek out to stock up on supplies~~Tylenol, chicken noodle soup, etc... Glad to hear that you are well again too. Wishing we could IM sometime but I don't have a lot of time for the computer these days. Sigh. Praying for the Lord to give you much Joy in your heart!! Love ya! Kris

Such neat ideas! You always have lots of good things planned for your kids! You need to do an Easter co-op (I would help you)!
Love you,
