It was a beautifully sunny (and hot - 20 degrees!) Maundy Thursday...
 |
| Zachary was very pleased to receive a card in the post this morning -it was an encouraging message from his Sunday School teachers |
 |
| Colouring the next pages of their Holy week book |
 |
| Playing with the toy cars is very popular in our house |
 |
| Helping with chores: lining up the shoes |
 |
| Getting the dry washing down and carrying it upstairs |
On Maundy Thursday, we traditionally have a 'Passover meal', just like Jesus and his disciples did the night before he was crucified. This involves eating lamb and bread and drinking wine/grape juice, while we read some passages from the Bible.
 |
| Making the final embellishments for our passion cake |
 |
| The finished cake; there are 3 crosses because two thieves were crucified either side of Jesus |
 |
| Making flatbreads |
 |
| Kneading the dough |
 |
| Laying the table for our meal |
 |
| Tasty lamb tagine |
 |
| Daddy explains about the bread and wine representing Jesus' body and blood |
 |
| Tasting the grape juice; Zachary was particularly fond of it |
 |
| They all loved the meal, especially the flatbreads |
 |
| Yummy |
 |
| Ptolemy kept asking for more bread |
 |
| Not very civilised |
 |
| Enjoying some passion cake |
 |
| Nearly half gone! |
 |
| Unfortunately putting our papier mache balloon in the hot playroom was a bad idea; however, it was a good opportunity to learn about why gases expand |
 |
| Garden games in the sun - having a race |
 |
| Zachary made a solar system diagram with average temperature ranges of the planets |
 |
| An egg and spoon race |
 |
| Egg throwing competition - who can get theirs closest to the big yellow one? |
 |
| Easter crafts: making a Passover meal plate and cup; Jory did a maze |
 |
| His finished cup and plate |
 |
| Sticking it all together |
 |
| About to enjoy her bread and wine |
 |
| Playing an Easter Bunny Drive game; Ptolemy has just thrown the die into the air |
 |
| It was Zachary's turn to open the Resurrection egg; this time, it was a cocktail stick, to represent the spear that was put into Jesus' side after he died |
 |
| Jory was upset that it wasn't his turn to open the egg |
Welldone Everyone And have a Blessed Easter lots of love Jacqui and Ken xxxxxx
