Circadian Rhythms, April 2015

Lots of photos from this month... enjoy!

Sad face, missing my family while they were in FL

The dress up costumes are often very original around here!

Don't remember how she hurt her head, but this was the solution

Easter 2015

Well, it's been quite a while since my last post. Easter this year involved the usual: egg hunts, dying eggs, and Easter baskets with lots of candy. Somehow we forgot to get a photograph of everyone all dolled up on Easter Sunday though! Here are some photos:

Counting her eggs at her last church Easter egg hunt

Sophie and Ellie searching together

Once they filled their baskets they helped the littler kids find eggs

Waiting for the little dye tablets to dissolve

Marking designs on the eggs with crayon

Precision dying using Q-tips

She took notes on various color combinations for next year

Oh, Easter bunny, why do you spoil us so?!

Ready for our backyard egg hunt on Easter Sunday

Filled with glee (and sugar)

Sorting it into piles

She looks kind of like a little birdie 

Trading candies so everyone is happy (even if Sophie doesn't look it!)

Let's start with a vocabulary lesson...

Now on to this month's assortment of photos...

Still more snow this month

But we're ready for spring and gardening!

The melting river of snow

We found a new playground

Oops, I didn't hurry

Sister love ...

... is not always appreciated!

And no, I've never kicked her out of the house! (3 of 3)
