So proud of our group.
Will playing "Sonata" by memory. He did an amazing job. 
I gave Faith an invitation to the "Tea House". She carried it with her all morning showing the boys and Daddy.
We had a great lunch & so much fun making up stories, pretending to be Tinkerbell, a color, an animal, a car, etc.
Usually, I'm not a sucker for packaging, but this one got to me - not the kids. We love Veggie Tales. I did, however only get one. How cute!
Faith preparing for the tilling.
My father-in-law so graciously came over to till the garden for us. After he soften the ground, Collin was able to till, till, till. He is such a hard worker.
Shopping at Lowe's for our supplies. The excitement was astounding.
This is what we planted. Just a little bit of everything. Notice the Giant Pumpkin. Collin picked this one out. The package says it will grow anywhere from 400-500 lbs. I think we will have The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, this year.
The kids know that I am not very successful at growing, so they are making sure that this year, it will be just right.
Faith was soooo cute. Everytime she planted her seeds, she would blow them a kiss.
Drilling.
Will helping an adult friend of ours out.
Will working hard.
A 4H class. They learned about herbs & planting.
This class was for 6 & up, but they let Faith help plant. She loved it more than the older kids.
Our local library had a homeschool crochet class. Will & I have really enjoyed learning. Will made a baby hat for our friend's little girl all by himself. (Pictures to come.) He is now teaching me how to do a hat. He made the bag above. He has far passed me.
The quilt above I made for my dear friend, Amy. They are missionaries to the Philippines. They will be leaving us a few months earlier because they are adopting a beautiful little girl. It's a little wild in color & pattern, but that's okay. I wanted to make a quilt for her, but at the time our money was very low. I prayed asking God to provide. I went through some clothes that Faith had outgrown & I was able to use them. My God shall supply all your needs. :)
The Very Hungry Caterpiller
I really enjoyed making both quilts. I covered both babies and families in prayer as I made both quilts. I am so excited for both families. A few more weeks & they will have beautiful girls to add to their already precious family.
We experimented with different colored eggs. We wanted to see what brown eggs would look like dyed. Even though we enjoy eating brown eggs, the white eggs still give the best color. We had 3 white eggs which are the bright eggs. The kids got tired of the dark "earthy" colors, so they started painting them.
Hats or Baskets?
Faith "gathering eggs". All 3 kids were divided into different areas. I could only get pictures of Faith.
Fortunately, we ran into 2 homeschool families that are in our support group. That made me feel a lot better about the kids having to split up. Each mom took a group.
Egg Hunt #2. This one was real ~ per my kids. One of the daddy's hid the eggs & they were hidden very well. They even had money in some of them. All but 3 eggs were found. And yes, one egg had money in them. 
Collin finding an egg.
This is a egg tree at our local library. We have plans on making some crochet eggs for next year so we can have a tree.
Egg Hunt #3. With family & friends.
Last year, we found blue eggs in the bird house that the boys made. This year, we found a mama bird nesting on her eggs. What a special Easter treat.
Easter afternoon, we did the Resurrection Eggs. What a great way to tell the Easter story. We have enjoyed this tradition for many years.
Tony was playing the trumpet at another church on Easter Sunday. One day, maybe he'll be able to celebrate the Resurrection with us. We are so thankful that God has given him such a wonderful talent.
