As always, Holy Saturday is a weird liminal day. Jesus has died but has not yet risen but we know he will! We did our secular Easter activities.
Isaac and Joshua dyed Easter eggs. I didn't get a picture of the results yet, but they had fun. Isaac had been planning on only doing a few eggs, but he did his whole allotment. They also got out some pipettes and dotted a few of the eggs with mixed results.
We also started our graham cracker houses! Hmm, I guess this is usually Christmas thing, but Isaac gave up candy and store-bought baked goods for Lent so by the time we found a free weekend after Christmas he wouldn't have been able to eat the house. We did the structure today and will decorate tomorrow. Joshua made a classic mansion, Ben a skyscraper, Isaac a sculpture, and I an Easter basket (with a book). We went through more graham crackers than I expected and I had to go get some more frosting today so that we could have enough colors tomorrow.
