Spring break fun

 Yep, he looks very FBI don't you think?

 We spent some time at the nature center near us and were lucky to have one of the naturalists tell us about the animals that live there.  Most of them are hurt or are blind so they are safer living there and teaching us about those animals.  

I love having 2 readers!  Terefech is so thrilled to be able to pick up books and read them all alone...just like her brother.  She said, "I thought this would never happen."

All the stuff...

Here they are with the Easter baskets.  Yes, an astronaut was visiting for the holidays.

 Reading his letter from the Easter Bunny.  They asked lots of questions.  Things like...are you taking a vacation?  what language do you speak?

 Can you believe the Easter Bunny knew she liked penguins?  Amazing!

 Our friend Sara did these beautiful eggs.  Orange for Declan, his favorite color.  Yellow for T and inspired by the Ethiopian crosses.  Absolutely gorgeous.  The kids think they are really cool.

Decorating eggs

The kids have a great time decorating eggs for the Easter Bunny to hide.  It is funny that I remember this being a long, artistic task when I was a kid.  I think my kids feel that way too.  In reality it is such a quick activity.  Every time we color eggs I am a little disappointed that it is over so soon.  The kids had fun experimenting with different ways to color them this year.

Super Kids

 A friend from high school sent the kids these awesome capes!  They are made from sweatshirts!  How cool are they!
