I did try again this year to explain why we celebrate Easter but when Zo tried to tell the story to the younger kids it come out "Well, today is the day Jesus woke up, decided he wanted out of the cave and pushed a giant rock out of the way because he is super strong." I may have to take some of the fault for my poor story-telling skills but the story comes from a cave we see while driving. If any of you drive from Ottumwa to Bloomfield you have seen the church that has the cave out by the road with the huge boulder in front. That cave has prompted more questions from Zoie about death, Jesus and sins. It has been a good learning tool--for her and me. I have had to call Grandma Linda on more than one occasion to clarify myself!
We also owe a big thank you to Grandpa and Grandma for watching the kiddos while we went to Des Moines for a day and on Sunday ran together. They were entertained though--Thor was in full costume and carrying an oversized hammer! Happy Easter 2011!
