Easter

One of these days I’ll catch up on the blog! Here are some photos from Easter. We tried a crayon method for decorating eggs, which ended up maybe being too advanced for the ages of our kids. We had fun finding real eggs on a nest on our front porch! On Easter Sunday we attended [...]

A Super Mario Valentine’s

Andrew celebrated his 100th day of school on Monday, February 8. I think 100th days are usually in January, but with all the snow days it was a little delayed. Actually, they got out early on the 100th day and had no school the next day because of more snow. Ugg! Grandma  Baumer requested a [...]
