Sunday Sidelines

We left for church with time to spare, but, silly Grandma, forgot her phone and had to go back for it! We were hoping to hear from Heather to get together with her at some point today, so had to have the phone. But we never did connect with Heather, and we were late for church.

One of the first persons we saw was Laura! They gave each other a big hug! :)

Again, Kevin wanted me to stay with him in his church-time class. Again, Kevin had a fabulous teacher! And Kevin was primed for the class! The topic was exactly what we have been reminded about with the Resurrection Eggs: Christ's path to the cross and the resurrection. Kevin had his hand up first to answer many of the questions. The teacher called him a VERY smart kid! He knew there were 12 disciples, Judas was the one who betrayed Jesus, 30 pieces of silver was the amount given to Judas, and more.

After church, he played with his friends, and I chatted with mine until 1:00. We grabbed some lunch and went to the cemetery to install new flowers for Karin for the spring, and, perhaps into the summer before I will return.


Before heading for home, we enjoyed another Goodberry's!!! :) We also bought groceries and bought a copy of "The Lorax" at Barnes & Noble. We finally arrived home around 4pm -- too late to go ice skating again. But we made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!

Stephan is even more of a cookie monster than Grandma, so we stopped at his Dad's to leave him a container of homemade cookies.

Tonight we read "The Lorax," and talked about the differences between the movie and the book. We tired to google how Dr. Seuss came up with the name Lorax, but found no answers, though we read some interesting things connected to the story which we talked about -- like ecosystems and why the Once-ler's face was not revealed in the story.
