The meaning of Easter

I am proud to say that at least Carsen fully understands the meaning of Easter... each night since his prayer has been.... "God bless Jesus for getting whooped because we are naughty, and for being on the cross and waking up in the cave." Pretty good 4 year old understanding!

This past month life has been full of ups and downs and I guess I have been busy livin' it hence the reason that I have failed to do much on the computer. So, if anyone is still checking this to read bear with me....

We ended up going to Colorado for spring break. The boys enjoyed it and I actually enjoyed the 2 day road trip out there and back. It is a time that my family has to be in one spot..
together...unable to go do you own thing.... this is a pretty hard thing for us to do. Take today for instance. Griffen is at school. Wes is off but working on the airplane. Carsen and I are going grocery shopping and doing laundry. Then this evening I will take Carsen to his first soccer practice and Wes will be with Griffen at his baseball practice. We have reached the point in raising kids in this day and age that we are heading in different directions most of the time. So, I was perfectly happy to be in the car with them reading Bridge to Terabithia out loud. Even though by the time we got to the end I had to pause at some points because if I continued reading I would burst out into tears. And during that pause Griffen would yell, "We're listening keep reading!"

Speaking of Griffen he is old enough that he does not say many things language wise that are funny anymore. In other words he is a very well spoken 8 year old. BUT..on Saturday as we were driving to church rehearsals for the Easter program he asks us...."Have I been bathtized?" Then without skipping a beat he says "Hey, there's Ice Cube." referring to a guy who lives in our neighborhood who does indeed resemble Ice Cube but is in fact not. I was still laughing from the first question then thrown into another fit of laughter at the second statement. It was just so...... nonchalant. Like we see celebrities in our neighborhood all the time.
