Easter

Easter morning the kids were excited to see their baskets. They had just enough time to look through them before we headed to church.

After church we hid a couple Easter eggs in the backyard since we missed the neighborhood egg hunt this year. They had so much fun they wanted us to re-hide them a second time. 

Going through all their loot.

Next we decided to experiment with a new way to dye easter eggs using shaving cream and food coloring. I will say it was a lot more involvement and more fun for the kids than the typical method. I think we will probably do this again next time!

That evening Benny's parents arrived to spend Spring Break with us. We had a dinner of ribs and mashed potatoes. Then we called it an early night as everyone was tired and needed rest for the week ahead!

March extras

The last couple weeks have been a blur of spring break, visitors, and sickness. We are finally getting back on track which means I have a few of these to catch up on. First - all the March leftovers. 

We love seeing Bonnie at school every once in a while. 

Bonnie and I were also very excited to go see Eleanor in the Mean Girls play. Eleanor was amazing!

We went to the Home Depot workshop and made some leprechaun traps for St. Patrick's Day.

We went to York River State Park on one particularly nice day. The kids (particularly Bonnie) loved climbing and getting dirty.

Can you spot Bonnie?

We went to get ice cream at the new restaurant in our neighborhood. 

The kids saw some friends there who practiced some cheer moves with them.

After a particularly warm 80 degree day, we had a surprising little snow day, all within 24 hours.

Bonnie submitted some artwork for their virtual talent show.

Some fishing has commenced.

Our child who loves the rain, getting dirty, and being outside. I love that so much about her.

The kids got some gold coins left for them in their leprechaun traps on St. Patrick's Day.

The kids helped clean the chicken coop.

Enjoying Spring walks in the beautiful weather.

I also got to sit back, read my book, and watch my family clean my car. It was a glorious Sunday afternoon.

We've had a few birthday parties.

At this one they played 'pass the parcel' from Bluey (not Lucky's dad's rules). 

They also went to an axolotl party.

The kids got to participate in the Psalm Sunday service.

March was a beautiful month! Can't believe we're already halfway through April!
