Holy Thursday

Today we celebrate Holy Thursday, the day of the last supper and where Jesus washed the feet of his apostles. We read the story and saw pictures of Jesus with the towel wrapped around his waist washing the feet of his 12 apostles. Sam and I then took turns washing each others feet, just as Jesus showed us. We learned that Jesus, even though he was their master and Jesus, acted like the servant, and did this so that he can teach us to be servants to one another and be kind to others.

Sam did a good job washing mine first

Then it was my turn to wash

April Snow?

"April Showers Bring May Flowers!" Well, I thought this meant rain showers but this week we got snow showers! Along with the silly snow in the morning we also had a mama and dada duck in our backyard, they must have been lost. My brother and I had fun yelling at them through the window. We had a busy weekend and are getting ready for a fun time with friends tomorrow. We are having an Easter Egg Hunt, we are excited!

Dada bird, looking pretty but a little confused Snow with tulips??

Laughing and playing together, awww sibling love!

Mama and I got out today and had a chance to plant some peas (that is all we planted because my silly brother dumped out some seed packets. I guess it is ok though because he said sorry very sweetly)

I really enjoyed helping and learning

Mmmm....can't wait to eat peas

Spring?

Ok, maybe this time? A few days last week during "spring" break we got to get outside at least. I rode my bike and went to the beach and park by my house a few times. Last weekend I went to a fun birthday party at the Jump Zone. I had so much fun and remember last time I was there (a year ago) I was pretty nervous, but this time I ran in and only checked in with my parents between slides and jumps. So fun! Since it is spring, that also means that Easter is growing closer so my friends and I dyed Easter Eggs today. I think there may even be an Easter Egg Hunt in the future?? We have been reading Easter stories this week and learning all about Jesus and His resurrection as well.

I'm zooming along to the park on my bike!

Jump Zone Fun! Enjoying birthday cake...Happy Birthday Luke and Simeon!

Happy Girl....waiting for my friends to come over and play!

Dying eggs

Not too sure about this blue color?

Jude and I taking turns with the colors, I think our siblings may be a little young for dying yet but we had it down!

Big Sister

Mama says that I have been the best big sister ever this week! I have been playing with Sam, reading him stories, and comforting him when he needs it. I also asked mom if I could hold him yesterday after several kisses, but she says he isn't really a baby anymore ;)

Reading Sam his favorite book

Putting on a show My ballet moves on stage!

A trip to the park in the crisp sunshine

I'm very proud of my Y's these days. I wanted to show Grandma my name but knew it wouldn't last a few more weeks on my drawing pad so mama suggested putting it on the blog for her to see.

A's and B's!

Spring?

It is spring break for mama and I have been having fun playing with friends. On Mondays we have been going to my friend Jude's house so the parents can do a group called Disciples in Mission. I love Monday nights because I get to stay up late, see my friends, and even have treats! This week I also got to play with my friends Maddie and Ava and even got to have a playdate with a new friend Estela! Spring break for mama doesn't mean a break for me though. I have been busy practicing letters and keeping up with my school. This week the theme was spring, but unfortunately we haven't seen any of that around here, just cold rain! Sam and I have been trying to get outside as often as we can but that doesn't happen too much lately.

On Saturday we took Sam to the train museum for the first time. He has been asking to go back every day since! I had fun but would rather go to the other museum.

Dancing with my friend Ava Practicing our moves before the performance

Letter practice, this is my favorite thing to do...matching upper case to lower case

Starting to learn to write other letters too

Don't know exactly what we were trying to do but it was fun! One more thing.. I rode my bike almost 2 miles yesterday! I'm so fast that mama had to run to keep up with me and dada and Sam came along with the stroller. We all got a workout!
