Ohhh....Pinterest. How I love you and hate you.
Love you because you give the BEST ideas out there. Really, you do. Kudos.
However, when someone like ME decides to try and bust out of their creative shell - all in the name of explaining Easter and the Resurrection - and attempts to TRY one of these fabulously crafty ideas, it ends in me feeling like a failure.
Let me clue you in on the events that went down this morning...
Kids wake up.
YEAH! Easter bunny came and left treats.
Kids beg me to wake up, because I've promised we'd make a "special Easter breakfast treat".
I drag my happy self out of bed and grab the few ingredients required for our "Resurrection Rolls".
Explain to the four year old (10 year old has seen this before - he's not impressed at much) how the marshmallow represents Jesus when he was buried in the tomb (the biscuit) after dying on the cross. (When the biscuits are done, the marshmallow will have melted and disappeared. Hence, the Easter story). So we wrap each jumbo easter marshmallow in a biscuit, sprinkle in some sugar and cinnamon and pop 'em in the oven.
I feel accomplished.
I feel like I can compete on ANY level with those Pinterest moms!
Take out biscuits 15 mintues later only to see this...
Yep. The pastel colored easter marshmallows have not quietly "disappeared" as Jesus did in the tomb that day.
According to MY interpretation above - he EXPLODED! He burst out of the tomb!
I admit, I laughed quite hard at myself.
That's what I get for trying to keep up with Pinterest.
All in all the boys enjoyed their treat - no matter how it looked. We went on to Easter church service at Cottonwood Creek Baptist Church and I could help but giggle whenever the empty tomb was mentioned.
Have a Happy Easter everyone! He is Risen!
