Easter Saturday
We had a talk at church yesterday (Easter Sunday) which talked about how the disciples must have felt on Easter Saturday - the despair they must have felt at the centre of their lives being ripped away – but also that from our perspective we can look at Good Friday and Easter Saturday with the knowledge that Sunday’s coming (material stolen from Tony Campolo).
My Easter Saturday was like the later I was living knowing that Sunday was coming. We cleaned the (relatively) tidy house and I really thought it was a good time to clean things up and get things in order so we could have a fresh start on Easter Sunday – and you can hear me say this here – I do like our church 
Everyone insisted we ate boiled eggs for breakfast using our felted egg cosies.
The egg cosies are a little on the small side but will at least keep the tops of the eggs warm!
My felted tea cosy doubles up nicely as a festival ready hat!!!!
So we spent all morning (and a big chunk of the afternoon) cleaning. Rebekah made more hot crossed buns (these were adapted as Friday’s were a little burnt).
We also had a few banana and pear fritters that Ruth made with some left over batter.
We then moved on to more egg making – we finished off the eggs we’d made yesterday and had a go at the (very easy looking) wool eggs. But they were much much more difficult than we expected and we decided to leave them for next year. We did listen to Charlie and the Chocolate factory on Big Toe Books.
We finished the day with a lovely cobbler that Rebekah had made for us all for dinner. I love that the girls are so independent cooking now – I know that they could both cook a decent meal and do some fantastic baking once they are out in the real world – just Jonathan to work on now who is very keen just not quite as independent yet (he made cornflake cakes and we have just eaten them for breakfast ).
