It's officially spring!

The Bluebells are blooming!

Egg Dying

Today was our long awaited EggStravaganza. I told the kids over the weekend that the first chance we would have to dye eggs would be on Wednesday. Every day they have been keeping track of how long it would be until Wednesday.
We got through our schoolwork in record time this morning. ;)




These are Joseph's. If they look like they are in order of the light spectrum, that would be on purpose. He made them all two toned. The other color is the complementary color.





Caroline's were all beautiful deep jewel tones.

Best Friends

How cool is it when you are with your best friend everyday?

Little Rascals Volleyball

Today the girls had the first volleyball game of the spring season. If you remember, both of them played last summer but just Libby played in the fall. Caroline realized that she was missing out on a lot of potential "rewards" for hitting the ball, so she decided to play again.
They both had a lot of fun.

Are you guys paying attention?

Arboretum WITH kids

Here are a few with the kids. They weren't dressed Arboretum worthy today, so I didn't really take very many of them.

The Arboretum

What a gorgeous day! We spent several hours at the Arboretum today with the Daltons. I took my 50mm lens so I could practice with it on manual, so I don't have a lot of "kid" shots.

More First Day of Spring Pics (these are by Alex)

ANOTHER snowstorm!

This one was really beautiful. We had about 8 inches. Although the wind was blowing much harder this time we had actual SNOWDRIFTS!
Alex even got up and joined us. :D

Spring Walk

We took a walk to the "other" playground today. What a gorgeous spring day!

Moon Craters

Note to self: In the future the making of craters should be an outside activity. Moving Beyond the Page

St Patrick's Day 2010

A Leprechaun came to our house last night!

Godzilla Dog Eats Cars and Toes

Solar S'mores

Today we are attempting to make Solar S'mores with a Pringles can and a skewer. So far, the sun hasn't cooperated very much.
