Today is Easter Sunday!! I'm thankful to know it didn't end on Friday and that Jesus rose from the dead.
It was even better today to have family celebrate with us. John's parents are here. Everything's better with a Grandma and Grandpa!!
Today was also special because Alex was able to lead worship with the band on one song. I love seeing that boy sing!!!
You can see it by clicking on the link below... He is singing "I Will Rise" by Chris Tomlin.

American History Wax Museum
We just completed our 2nd year in the Unfailing Homeschoolers Wax Museum. The kids choose who they would like to showcase depending on the assignment. This year we were to do someone in American history.
The kids had to write a monologue to recite each time their "start" button was pushed. This brought their character to life. They also had to make a backdrop and an information board.
Alex decided he wanted to be John D. Rockefeller...
Micayla chose to be Elizabeth Dole....
They did a great job! It's always a lot of work but well worth it.
The guests bring their loose change to donate in each person's containers after the "figures" are done speaking.
This year the proceeds were given to Wolfson Children's Hospital NICU. They raised just over $500. YAY!!!!!
We were very proud of all the kids who participated. I always learn so much about people I've never heard of!!!
Wonder who we'll be next year??

Garden 2011
I've always wanted to plant a garden. I had no idea how to and was sure nothing would grow. Well... today John built us a raised bed box and we planted one!!! He knows way more about this garden stuff.
First we had to decide where to put it and turn over the soil... no one really enjoyed this part!
Then we had to pick all the grass, rocks and roots out...
Alex and Micayla helped too and they are really excited about growing their own food. Next we added garden soil and some secret sauce...
Love him!!
We planted tomatoes, cucumbers, yellow peppers, green beans, carrots and strawberries.
I can't wait to see what comes up!!! Fifty days to our first harvest!!!!!
Stay tuned for updates!
