Christ the Lord is Risen Today.....

"Christ the Lord is Risen today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens and earth reply, Alleluia!"

Charles Wesley

I love our little church but we just dont sing hymns enough. I sometimes miss them and this is one that I love. The Lord has been so good to bring this song to my mind this past week and I woke up this morning singing it! How wonderful!
We have enjoyed this Easter season. I found these cool things called Resurection Eggs. They tell the Easter story in 12 eggs. The kids love them. For some reason we just havent gotten in to the whole Easter Bunny thing. We do Easter baskets and egg hunts but other than that my kids are pretty unfamiliar with the bunny part. Maddy actually asked me this morning if the Easter Beagle brought the baskets or if mom and dad did? I thought that was hilarious! Anyway, we do have our Easter traditions consisting of dying eggs and making Resurection Rolls. Here are some pics of the past weekend! We hope you all have a lovely day!

Coleman can talk....

well, in Colemanese that is! I just thought I would post some cute sayings we love so much. :)

mom...wook...me... (when he was oh so proud of himself for writing all over the wall over his bed)-thank goodness for Mr Clean Magic Erasers!

I doed it (anytime he is trying to do anything)

He loves Cars and can sing almost every word to every song on the movie (we have the soundtrack as well) :)

He went to the dentist for the first time yesterday! He and Maddy both had appointments so I let Maddy go first since she was a "seasoned veteren" so Cole could see how it was done. She did wonderful and declared that she wanted to be a dentist when she grew up! When it was Coleman's turn the dentist asked if I wanted to sit in the chair and hold him and Cole shooed me away and climbed in the chair himself and said "meself". Sure enough he sat by himself and had his exam like a big boy! I was kicking myself for not having the foresight to bring the camera!

Isnt life as a mom grand!?!?!?
