a snowman...

in april...who thought it could be possible
the kids loved the unexpected and unseasonable weather we had last week,
loved that they had a snow day on  thursday (in april)
loved the perfect for building snowmen and snowforts snow..in april

moving snow...

 

I think perhaps this snowfall in april was the largest of the winter..
in april mind you...

and no she wasn't moving snow, that would fall into the work category which she will avoid with every ounce of her being.

well hello winter...

I missed you...not!

the view out my window on april 10th...beautiful no?
in January perhaps.

egg hunt

 

 

 

 

lego's

 

that light up...pretty cool in his book

the bunny visited....

she found her's by accident, inside the dryer under my sweater...
surprised she found her's first since she never looks in the dryer....

her basket was tucked inside the egg chair and she was pretty excited to have found it...

it didn't take her too long to discover her basket under all the blankets the daycare kids use

inside the reading nook was where his basket was...he was quiet proud of himself for finding it all by himself.

he had to wait until after church to find his basket apparently hiding it behind the tv was just a tough one this year.

coloring eggs...

 

 

 

 

 

boiling eggs...

in the oven?
why did I not know about this years ago????
350 degrees 28 minutes and hard cooked eggs
