Friday: ice skating

We went ice skating today.  I was expecting Joshua to give up right away and Isaac to figure it quickly, but it was some what opposite.

Joshua did have a hard time at first.  Nathan and I switched off skating him around the rink, but after some tests we were about five minutes from being done.  Then we were standing by Nathan and Evelyn and he balanced by himself.  Yay!  So I had him take two steps towards me.  Yay!  It just got better and better, and by the end he was faster than Evelyn, but still needed to hold a hand.  (And was in a constant state of falling.)

Isaac did well, for sure, but also struggled.  He could balance but just barely figured out how to skate.  He tried hard for an hour and then was finished.  What surprised me though was that he said it was the best part of his day and he might be interested in taking lessons.

Thursday: class

Isaac joined me during my first class today.  He had his headphones on and watched PJ Masks.  A few times he burst out laughing, and the whole class chuckled.  Isaac was oblivious, which made it a bit more funny.

Wednesday: break, day 3

This morning we went to Crazy Bounce.  I told the kids a while ago that we would go during break, but they forgot.  So they were excited to be there.  Joshua went down a medium sized slide by himself a few times, and it was fun to watch his face.  It would start out as excitement, change to terror, and then finish in triumph.

Tuesday: Flurry

Flurry was sitting on my lap today while I was playing Warcraft.  Ben and I were laughing about a bad pun, and she got mad.

Flurry always gets mad when we laugh. 

Monday: spring break, day 1

Well, today was day 1 of Isaac's "boring" spring break.  This morning I worked from home and Isaac played, cleaned his room, and took a shower.  He still said that staying home was his favorite part of the day.

Sunday: Happy Resurrection Day

He is Risen!

He is Risen indeed!

While it ended up being a rather normal Sunday, it was also a day filled with Joy.  How can one not be in awe on the day that is especially set aside to remember Jesus' victory over death?

And, as a sort-of tradition, naps were taken too. :)

Good Friday

Today started out...ok.  I was tired and in a mood.  Luckily, Ben was home and let me have an early nap.

Isaac had a half day today and then started spring break.

We went to the Good Friday service this evening.  I wasn't sure how well it would go, since Isaac hasn't done so well in church in the past.  But it is also an important day in the church calendar, so we went.  Isaac led us to our seats, in the second row.  'oh boy," I thought...this could go poorly.  However, I think it actually helped things go better because it was easier to see the front.

Joshua fell asleep about half way through. 

Isaac did some of the things I brought and then colored a little bit.  "I love Jesus more."  It makes my heart happy.
