::::::::::::::::::::::Events of the day:::::::::::

When Michael got home from work we all went to Sangria's for dinner. Then, a family trip to the grocery store, which went surprisingly smooth. Back home to back peanut butter cookies and a batch of mini chocolate chip cookies.
Noah was in charge of F.H.E. and he had as pick names for Random Acts Of Kindness for the week. He was so excited to explain how it all worked.

Everywhere we went we took along a paper fly on a stick. Eve's teacher wants the paper fly to go with her on all of her outings. The idea is from the book Diary of a Fly. The poor fly is about to fall apart in just a few of our wanderings.

The children rouse from their slumber and require nourishment! Later.

How Many Doctors Does It Take?

This was the very seriously asked question by Eve on Tuesday. I know its Thursday, but atleast I got around to posting:). Eve asked if I would teach her to jump rope. I went over the mechanics of the one foot jump, then rock to the back foot style and the two footed jump. The song I used was the classic:
"Cinderella dressed in yellow
went upstairs to kiss a fella.
Made a mistake and kissed a snake.
How many doctors does it take?"

She enjoyed trying, but we are working on keeping the rope going over again after she has jumped over.







Jumping rope is one of my all time favorite activities. I, also, enjoyed playing Chinese jump rope in elementary school. I'm pretty sure I would cause severe bodily injury if I tried it these days.

Easter is over! I didn't hear. Some dude bit my ears off!
















:::::::::::::::::::::Layouts With Designs by Dawn Inskip:::





My daughter, Eve, asked her dad to sidewalk chalk with her and he drew her a rainbow fish. She then started her own embellishments.

::::::::::::::::::::::::Pinewood Derby Time:::::::

Noah designed a melting popsicle car. A Creamsicle to be more accurate:





I'll post more of the car tomorrow. It has had it's, initial, orange, shiny paint job, but Michael has to drill a spot for Noah to put in the popsicle stick. It is looking super groovy.
