Easter is coming

What has Easter become? 

Well that depends on what person you talk to.  What has Easter become to you?  For us, we try to focus on family.  I like to focus on Jesus Christ dying to overcome the world, his glorious resurrection and thus the redemption of man.

Here are some crafty egg projects Anïas, Illïus and Xavier made at school today.

Illïus is pointing on his brown hen.  Miss chocolate.

Xavier made a chicken from papers glued together, beads and feathers.  The googly eyes says it all.

Anïas made a MineCraft chicken egg.  Wishing all a happy Easter.

Xavier is learning about family

At Xavier's school there is a family project ongoing.  Pretty much all last month was dedicated to talk about what a family is.  It is amazing how broad or narrow a concept family can be.  It depends on who is speaking and what values one has.  Xavier has painted many portraits and this is his toilet paper portrait.

My middle son Anïas is getting real interested in genealogy and family history.  So we will see how far back we can get in our family history of Granström to start.  We have about 500 identified Granström members at this moment in time.  Not all relations have been figured out of course.

Illïus loves to paint

We are so lucky that we can take pictures of what the boys love to do today.  Such things did not exist while I was little and young, and as a result, there are no records of what I created as a young child.

Illïus loves to paint, and if we kept all the pictures and crafts he made we would need a room to store it all in.  Here is some school work he was especially proud over, and that he wishes to share with you all.

His 9 year old brother Anïas has still yet to learn we do not paint on walls or floors.

Easter eggs on the school wall

This monday, we had an easter egg hunt on the chalkboard.  Leon and Karl Johan are the artists.  There was full activity on the backside of Fokuskolan, Nyköping so I was left to myself here.

Anïas was outside in the woods playing with his class mates.
