School is out in honor of Holy Week (Good Friday and Easter)!
We have fun activities planned for the family throughout most of this week (local stuff, cheap stuff, exciting stuff....so far we have gone to the movies and the zoo). Nothing spiritual....just good family time.
My blogging has really been cut in half, but I probably won't blog this week at all - if I do it's only b/c it's exceptionally noteworthy - and I doubt that will happen.
I am looking forward to the lack of commercialism here with Easter! They don't call it Easter and there are no bunnies, plastic eggs or emphasis on candy. I will, however, miss the easter egg hunts, chocolate Cadbury eggs (MY FAVORITE - hint, hint), peeps (everyone loves peeeps, right?) and coloring eggs with the kiddos. I guess I could use a little commercialism here to suit my cravings (hehehe...). However, a lot of times my kids are torn between celebrating Christ and getting baskets and stuff. So at least this year there won't be any distractions. But we wouldn't mind being distracted by some Cadbury eggs. :)
Anyway, may the Lord bless you during your "Holy Week" and I pray your Easter is as marvelous as God's love!
Here is a link my friend sent me of things we can do with our children during Holy Week:

Oh - I LOVE cadbury eggs. I splurge on them at this time every year. A whole box of 3. We normally do a "commercial" egg hunt and basket on Saturday or another day during the week depending on our schedules. That way we have Easter simply for remembrance. Enjoy your week with your family and we'll be praying you don't feel any more pain - and maybe to find some Cadbury eggs?
