Easter Photos

We spent a rather low-key Easter with Heather and Joe and their family in Harvard, IL.  We ate homemade tortillas (as we always do!) and enjoyed a little Easter egg hunt that kept the kids happy and excited.  I think perhaps Joe and I had as much fun hiding them as they did finding them!  I am particularly proud of the pineapple one—it was the last to be found!

Volcanoes

The boys have been learning about volcanoes, and today they made their own.  A little home made magic with salt water clay, baking soda, and vinegar.  I learned that if you add a little liquid dish soap to your vinegar, it will foam excellently.

Here's a little proof that we must be doing something right as parents.  Now, while he maxes out on those 3-pounders, we have to figure out how to do as well with the other 47,698 things we have yet to impart to the boys.  Never done, I suppose.

Happy Birthday Daddy

Here are a few photos from last night's Happy Birthday Daddy party.  Good times.  Old me.
