Monday was Lincoln's actual birthday, so we kept the celebration going all day. Lincoln was so excited Principal Low read his name in the morning announcements, and he got to go to the office to get a birthday pencil. He had birthday cookies to share with his class in the afternoon. After soccer practice, we took Linc's picture by the Bowie sign showing his name. It's a major deal to have your name on the sign!!!
On Tuesday evening, Lincoln took his new birthday scooter out for a ride. He did great, and Beau pedaled super fast to keep up. (All of the pedaling practice has paid off!)
We made Resurrection Rolls on Wednesday after dinner. What a great Easter tradition! We talked about how Jesus died on the cross and was buried in a tomb protected by a big stone. When the stone was rolled away, the tomb was empty, and Jesus had gone to heaven to be with God. We spread out the crescent roll dough, dipped a big marshmallow in butter (for burial oil) and cinnamon (for burial spices), and rolled the marshmallow up in the dough. The boys really enjoyed helping and were anxious to see what came out of the oven. To their great joy, the rolls were empty when they took a bite. The marshmallow was gone, and it was a great way to demonstrate the purity of Jesus disappearing from the tomb. We love dyeing eggs and having egg hunts, but it's great that they love to hear the real story of Easter.
Lincoln asked Mommy to join him for lunch on Thursday, so we had a lunch date Clair and her Mommy, Laura. It was super fun! In the middle of a busy time at work, what a way to recharge looking at the sweetest Lincoln ever!
Beau's class had an Easter Egg Hunt at the end of the day on Thursday, and he couldn't wait! He collected tons of eggs, and was so happy to pose at the end. (He took two eggs out for the picture and then scooped them up quickly. Weirdo!)
It was definitely a busy week, but it was good to make time for family fun. Easter weekend has lots of activities, and we are ready for the excitement.
